I think by and large people think it is. I personally don't like it. I think the minor difference in elemental damage taken is hurt by the drop in health you can get from a well rolled rare chest. I also think it makes capping your resists more of a chore, requiring more passives and even jewel slots dedicated to it, which ends up costing you damage jewels.

If you can get your chaos over 0%, there might be an argument for Incandescent Heart; 20% more damage, and if your chaos is over 0% you can treat it as an elemental defensive benefit. The leech is largely irrelevant (we cap out our leech almost instantly). You might make a similar talk for Eternity Shroud but since we use so many uniques in the build, there isn't much opportunity to min max it.

I think the safe option is Loreweave, or you can go for a big boi life chest with resists and ES to make your life easier. Between crit flask uptime and other sources of crit (conc ground with zealotry or bottled faith) the extra offense on loreweave is ok, but comparable to a Carcass Jack (which tend to be cheaper).

As an example, I got my chest, which is hardly GG, but good enough, for 1 ex (was 6 linked and everything, even had the colors done). Meanwhile getting a 'so so' 6L Loreweave is in the 6-8EX range, and you are left having to do mind games to make your resists work out. If you manage it, you will take 12% less elemental damage, but have 7% less health (compared to my non GG chest). Seems like a lot of work for 5% ish difference against elemental damage only (there is plenty of physical damage). If anything, I don't personally think its the top priority in the build--not since it was nerfed at least.
