Life Regeneration or Life Leech? Trying to make a decent Elemental Hit Fire build

So i am trying to follow Tunerka's Elemental Hit Easy Dps Build

But am wondering if i could maybe tweak the passive tree to at least not need lioneye's fall gem.

Base Passive Tree

Now i have made a draft of an alternative passive tree but i don't know if it is viable for late game content as it seems to focus more on maximum life and life regeneration than life leech.

My modified Tree

I am concerned i am doing something wrong because Vaal Pact is so close to the ranger's start so i feel like it maybe should be picked since it does after all make life leech more viable.

Edit: I updated the skill tree

How do you bump your post?
