My es insight lite sorc (advice please)

So I've been trying forever to work out an es pvp build that can use an insight staff and still do enough damage to work, and I finally settled on lightning-based. Gear looks like this:

Insight in a staff with +3 lightning staffmod

Griffs

Vmagi with maybe a psapphire in it or a sur

Crafted caster boots

Arach

2x sojs

frostburns

3 lite skills, 10 fcr ammy

9x lite gcs

stashed +9 memory staff

Skill setup:

10 es

20 tk

20 lightning

20 nova

20 light mastery

1 point warmth

1 point in thunderstorm

rest in another synergy

And I'm finding, unfortunately, that I take an awful lot of hurt from people like ww sins and bowazons, and I was wondering if maybe I should spec for a max block option with a whitstan's? It'd take 159 dex as opposed to zero dex with my current build, so I'd lose a lot of energy. And I wouldn't have the survivability of insight anymore. But I get eaten alive by those characters anyway so insight doesn't do me much good vs them. What should I do?|||Max block should help quite a bit against bowzons, and a bit against wwsins. However do note that wwsins will still shred you, they're meant to be your worst matchup after all.|||It's true, they are my worst enemies. But I realized that I'd lose like, 500 mana in my non-max block mode and didn't think it was worth it. On the whole though this build works very well. I'm quite satisfied.
