How could I improve this character? Flame Reave Spellblade

Here’s my current build.

Gameplay is very smooth with the fire circles of death wiping out the entire screen (…at low corruption, at least). It is, like all my builds, a bit squishy - it dies often at high corruption. I was thinking about using the Wall of Nothing unique chest piece, if I can get one with at least one Legendary Potential.

Any suggestions in how could I improve this?

Reduced crit dmg atop of crit avoidance seems messy. Also armor is very low
Maybe you should try new Tundra helm + Fiery Dragon boots? Remove crit avoidance after it, add more health or something useful. Falconer fists gloves for more flat melee fire dmg
Blessings from Heorot and Volcano - % armor and flat armor. Your % fire dmg is high enough and cold res is pretty overcapped

Personnally, I aim for as much intelligence as i can, as it serve both damage and ward (with the right passives). Concerning your passives, I think you overinvested into the base passives (reactive ward and warden seems to add little to your tankiness), and overlooked the usefullness of shattered aegis (maxed, it is better than only arcane shielding, or at least that is how i understand and play it). If you want, you can also invest a few points in runemaster sphere of protection : since you ignite surely, it could help reduce the damage you are taking.
For the blessings, flat armor from the volcano is good, but may be fire shred res is better ? I truly don’t know, but here is my reasoning : a dead enemy is one that can’t hurt you, and shredding res helps making them deader faster. But I could be wrong, since I too die often at bosses at like 550 corru (but i TEAR those waves of ennemies).

Finally, for latergame build, consider atlaria ring for this sweet sweet damage reduction (and the prerequisite of stats is not that high in my opinion), and maybe a boneclamor helmet for free int and dex, and ward per second (god i love it), and if you are crazy enough to try your sanity on rolls, maybe a prismatic gaze ; reducing even further the damage seems good, but i haven’t tried it yet (hard to pull lp on this bad boi).

I put this Fire Hybrid dmg spellblade build together with a 1LP Wall, but not had chance to build it out and test it.
My initial concern would be health sustain, given the gloves, but I chose them because stunning bosses and champions can save an awful lot of damage if they’re interrupted.
