If you're using Hydrosphere, you don't need it.

Frost bomb is good for stopping boss regeneration, and for applying cold exposure, but we already have those from ascendancy + hydrosphere.

For Hydrosphere, I'm using it with Bonechill + Culling Strike + Items Rarity. It's really good for shotgunning bosses.

I'm level 88 and doing red maps. I went ES/LL instead of HP, but your 'concern' would remain the same with my build also.

Sure, the build has no actual stat defenses, but EoW as a skill provides all the defense you need. As I stated in a post the other night, Projectile Speed and a Snakepit ring handle all the defense you need.

The entire screen will either die or be frozen with a single cast of EoW, and if you pair Snakepit with a Frostbite on hit ring, it makes freezing everything even more apparent. I also use Skitterbots, which chill aura keeps things slowed and able to keep distance.

Distance by the way is majorly your friend with this skill. You want to learn where the final pulse of shards happens on the path of the main eye. That is where the big huge shotgun damage happens to decimate the more hardy enemies.
