Removed the minimum and maximum Critical Strike Chance caps. Previously, characters had a 5% chance to deal a critical strike with attacks and spells, even when the spell specified a lower chance, and could reach a maximum of 95% chance to critically strike. In practice, that cap was ignored by effects which applied to enemies, such as Assassin's Mark. We have changed several of these 'external' critical strike sources, and have removed the cap as a result.

If I understand this correctly, You can now get 100% crit chance.
You PoB link shows max crit still capped at 95%, most likely because PoB has not been updated with this particular change yet.

If so, with new mechanics it could probably be possible to reach 100% crit with frost blades, which in fact would render Your build IMMUNE to both elemental and physical reflect map mod - I dare say it would be good to check it out and write down in the guide.

The build is designed around people who like pressing 1 button to wipe the screen so I'd say yes. To be totally honest though, it requires a little bit of thought, you can't just stand still. If you move with whirling blades and frost blades, then rinse and repeat, you will hardly ever die. If that sounds like fun to you and not too intensive, then you have the perfect build.
