Bladefall and Spell Cascade should both be level 1. We don't care about the damage it puts out, only the number of lingering blades and we want the tightest AOE we can get.

You seem to be using both general's cry and vigilant strike. You don't need two sources of fortify. Personally, I'd drop general's cry - and it's supporting jewel, The Vigil. Replace that with Ancestral Call support so your vigilant strike will hit.

Remember you need to trigger Vigilant Strike manually. Your trigger sceptre only triggers spells, and all fortify related skills are attacks.

You won't need Desecrate if you drop General's Cry, so replace that with Enduring Cry for endurance charge generation. Again, remember you'll have to trigger it manually.

Farm the lab for the mana regen if you've cast a spell recently enchant on your boots.

After that, it's really a matter of keeping an eye on your mana levels. If you've just cast Arcane Cloak, wait a second for your mana to recharge before hitting blade blast, or you can find yourself in the situation of no mana to absorb a big incoming hit.

Bladefall needs to be only level 1? Pob says lvl 20. I dont see any difference between level 1 or level 19 bladefall though. Also global chat says we should max spell cascade

You can max bladefall if you like - it makes it possible to clear trash mobs before hitting blade blast. However, it also makes it much harder to run physical reflect mod maps. Quality on BF just adds AOE, which means less overlap on bladeblast, so no, don't go there.

Spell Cascade at level 1 is 25% less AOE, which is good, and 40% less damage, which is also good if we're worried about physical reflect again.

Spell Cascade at level 20 is 16% less AOE, which is bad. We want Bladefall to leave blades in the tightest pattern we can get. 21% less damage, which is good if we're trying to clear mobs without blade blast, but again, bad if we're facing reflect.

Spell Cascade quality adds AOE, which is straight up bad.

TL;DR: If you want to clear trash mobs without blade blast, use bladefall level 20 and Spell Cascade either 1 or 20. If you want to be able to run physical reflect, or you are just going to use bladeblast to clear anyway, leave them both at level 1, quality 0.

Bladefall yes on the phys reflect side if you're not just rolling over it, but going to be honest, I run 21/23 bf and 5/20 awakened cascade with a 20/20 anomalous conc and damn near 1 shot last phase of A9 sirus as he lands (1/5 times it will just 1 shot him with everything lined up right), and it seriously helps for ultimatum clearing. Honestly depends on your gear, and the overlap with leveled gems + anomalous conc and helm enchant, you miss maybe 3-5 blades at most per cast. For clearing maps, back bar a sire of shards with BL and it's infinitely faster anyway.

This build looks good, but it has less than 4000 health. So even with all it's damage mitigation it still is extremely fragile as soon arcane cloak runs out. Would that not make running ultimatums and heist an utter nightmare?

On the other hand it does deal so much damage that you could sacrifice some for more durability and still shred everything.
