Enki's Arc Witch - maybe back some day?

Elemental Penetration is even better, although it's pretty expensive to buy and a hassle to make yourself.

Would it be worth it to use Pure Talent in this build? You can get to the Templar and Scion starts pretty easily and get plenty of mana and regen along the way.

That sounds like an interesting proposition. Connecting to Witch, Templar, and Scion grants:
- .5% mana regen
- 5% ele pen
- +25 all attributes

It would require quite a few points to use to the full extent. However weaver it would be a very useful placeholder for Healthy Mind while you gear up, using it exclusively for the mana regen. Once you have enough regen and life, it can be swapped for HM.

The new PoB is quite strange, and I'd like to try and understand the changes. Swapping Controlled Destruction for Chain support seems like a massive damage loss. Additionally, I'm not sure where all the unspec'd points are going.

I'm particularly confused about Ash, Frost, and Storm notable, and how the new PoB setup helps with our crits to enable EO.

It's a damage loss in Path of Building, but 90%+ of people playing this build didn't have enough crit to proc EO reliably, so they actually gain a bit of damage with Chain compared to EO. Chain also helps in situations where we hit our hit limit, mostly juiced up Deliriums and some Heists, by giving two/three more chains and the secondary chains.

Ash, Frost and Storm gives about the same damage as Divine Judgement, but for one passive less and with some minor resistances and 20% reduced effect of ailments on us.

One more question for now. Is Replica Loreweave's damage and life/mana bonuses potentially worth the survivability loss of lowered max resistances and not using CoD or something with offering?

The only possible way I could see Replica Lorweave as viable is if the build is specifically built around it. You’d likely need Transcendence or Divine Flesh to accommodate the increased elemental damage taken. Even then, that wouldn’t be worth the fact that the chest just doesn’t offer us very much, especially for the cost.
