I'd like to start out by saying this build is credited to Angus_McWhomp's Frozen Four build. I tried his build and then tweaked it is all.
While this build is centered around ice damage, it does utilize all four elements to create a "machine gun" type of damage that creates a cacophony of random effects. It's like a freaking firework and it's amazingly fun and effective. I can guarantee you that T6 is a piece of cake and you will go beyond Grift 30 with this build. I'm not sure if I'll get beyond Grift 40 but stay tuned, it's still new to me too.
Ray of Frost: This skill will be the spam skill that will trigger much of the fireworks you'll be creating. It helps if your weapon's elemental damage type is one of four elements as it will help proc more random effects. Poison, holy and physical type isn't ideal.
Blizzard: This is your CC plus proc creating DoT.
Black Hole: This will add to your fire type proc damages plus the CC it comes with.
Familiar: Very good resource generator plus it provices reliable source of arcane based procs.
Magic Weapon: All your Ray of Frost will be laced with fire damage, which means much needed fire based procs.
Ice Armor: Anything within melee range will help generate ice based procs, and works well with Halo of Arlyse. Alternatively you can use Storm Armor with Shocking Aspect (more fire works) or Power of the Storm (mana regen) and use Wyrdward ring. If you're stacking cold damage like I am though ice armor will probably net you more damage.
Passives are self explanatory but the most important is Elemental Exposure for that extra damage.
Armors:
Full set benefit of Tal Rasha set is required, while others are purely preferences.
Weapons:
Shard of Hate is LOADS of fun and effective, highly recommended.
Jewelries:
Ideally I would have wanted Unwavering Will as passive so if you can get it on Hellfire Amulet, by all means do so. Set items work for amulet slot or any damage immunity amulets will work just as well. Rings are self explanatory.
Gems:
I'd make Wreath of Lightning a requirement if I could. Its purpose is to produce lightning based proc effects, rapidly.
As you can see, this build is focused and fast hits with as much variety of elements involved as possible to create a very diverse and satisfying damages on your screen. It's quite beautiful, try it today

Anyone have Ancient Shard of Hate that you're willing to part with? No duped or modded version please!
I'm not gear rich but I'm 100% legit and have some things that you may want for trade.
