Great build, working on an arc witch right now. I facetanked Dominus in cruel without dying, love the DPS and all. Also love the fact that I can just hold Q and watch everything die without me having to think about aiming and timing like on my flameblast build.

I have a few, uh, gripes about missing quality-of-life points in the recommended tree. I've been trying to follow the recommended path but it's not completely efficient.

For one, I think that the first 40% mana regen node is pretty essential in early game, and it scales incredibly well with Clarity. Mana is extremely problematic on an early-game version of this build to the point where I even had to run mana leech (+penetration +life leech) on the arc. I also think that taking the +30str Might would really help with early game and lessen the necessity to find a +strength item for armor, and the +30 dex also helps with Arctic Armor/Haste. If I forsee further problems in getting decent str/dex items I might even grab myself one or two of the other +30s by Clear Mind until I can find decent stat items for this build. Those can be refunded later on anyways. It's also tough seeing Reduced Mana Reservation (by Bloodthirst) being skipped over, it's a swell node that's right on the path and it saves a bit of mana especially when running so many auras later on.

Also, the 25% crit next to the starting point really doesn't pay off until much much later; I would have gotten it around ~60 points.

Other than those few gripes in the tree, I think the build is great; I'm experiencing an excellent mix of DPS and tank and I thoroughly enjoy it. Can't wait to get a 6L body to get the power charge in and all.

Optimally, you should get dex from equipment. It might not be that easy at first though. So, you could temporarily get one or both of the 30 dex Notable to help you out. Another option is the Coordination Notable (20 dex, 3% cast speed) in the shadow starting area.
