Shell and Cloak are interchangeable dependent on personal preference. upgrades can be replaced by chalice but personally I prefer to let carry kill minions and heal from that and have reduced relic cooldown.

Pros of this build:
High health allows for better support as they can stay in fight longer.
High protections allow for more damage mittigation and survivability.
High sustain from starter as long as someone else kill minions (178HP per minion if using soul gem, 182HP if using Pythagerom's Piece, so full wave is 1068HP or 1092HP)

Qin's Sais, Heartseeker, Soul Reaver, Ethereal Staff. This is because they are all Percentage health damage items. (Bancroft's claw does not do high enough percentage to be a worry)
Any execute as they have a higher numerical HP execute value.
Low cooldown (only 10%, cooldowns are: Ice Wall:9 seconds at max rank, Glacial Strike7.2 seconds at max rank, Frost Breath12.6 seconds at max rank, Shards of Ice63 seconds at max rank.
