*Gems*
Spectral Throw - Chance to Bleed - Volley
Sunder (Act 1) - Chance to Bleed - Momentum
Leap Slam - Faster Attacks - (Momentum)
Sunder (Act 2) - Melee Physical Damage - Cruelty/Chance to Bleed
Sunder (Act 4) - Fist of War - Melee Physical Damage - Cruelty
Once you have Aggravate Bleeding (Ascendancy Notable)
Sunder - Fist of War - Melee Physical Damage - Volatility
Once you have the third Ascendancy Notable (50% Block):
Shield Charge - Faster Attacks - Momentum - Brutality
Aura Gems
Act 1 - Blood and Sand. You can also go Precision if you have a lot of Transmutation Orbs.
Act 2 - Herald of Ash - Blood and Sand - Precision
Act 3 - Pride - Herald of Ash/Precision
Once you have the mana leech nodes & and the mana mastery that gives mana reservation efficiency you can go add Blood and Sand back into the setup.
Once you have Aggravate Bleeding (Ascendancy Notable) I would drop Herald of Ash and "Blood and Sand". You can add Herald of Purity now.
With the "Champion of the Cause" allocated and the mana mastery you can go:
Pride & Determination
Utility Gems
Frostblink/Flame Dash
Intimidating Cry (before you have Aggravate Bleeding)
Blood Rage
Vulnerability

First pathing route is Potent Incantation. Then Lingering Horror - Spiral Into Insanity - Void - Roil -Zone of Control - Spiral into Mania
*General Advice for Caster Gear Progression*
Look for +Levels to Spell Skills Gem at the Vendor. +Levels to Gems will provide flat damage. %increased Damage is important too but I would prioritise additional Levels to Gems over that. You can get +Levels to Spell Skills on Shields (Focus), Wands, Staffs and Amulets.
Additional Gem Levels will increase the base Mana Cost significantly. You might have to use Inspiration as a Support Gem. In my case I should have used Inspiration instead of Arcane Tempo for Doryani.
*Resistances*
For Act 1 you want Cold Resistance. In Act 2 you want Lightning Resistance for the final Act 2 Boss. If you do the Elemental Offering (Act 2, Buried Shrines) you can choose a Topaz/Ruby/Sapphire Ring. Vendors can also sell Resistance Rings. If you do not have enough Resistance Rings I would consider gambling for one at the Vendor (Risu at Act 2, Alva at Act 3) if you have sufficient Gold. The Act 3 Boss will cause all 3 Elemental Damage types. You can socket Glacial/Desert/Storm to get 12% Cold/Fire/Lightning Resistance.
