" +% Increased Projectile Damage " should be your highest priority for increased damage. It increases ALL damage associated with projectiles. Chaos, Fire, Ice, Lightning & Physical damage is increased by " +% Increased projectile damage. ". Even certain Spells gain increased damage. Fireball is one of those spells
Your crit chance is far to low for you to bother with the " +% increased Critical multiplier " nodes. my guess is that you won't have any higher crit chance then 9% with your passives. Unless you do something about that. by getting more " +% increased Critical chance ". Also note that the " +% increased Critical strike " is multiplied by your weapons Crit chance. All " +% Increased Critical strike " are added with each other. (so taking a +20% and a +25% Means that you have a single "+45% Increased Critical strike chance ")
You lack Defence. Armour, Evasion Or Energy shield is disturbing. you will not have especially good survivability on higher difficulties.

The point of being ranged, is to do just that, be back in the back fighting. By higher difficulties people should find friends before then and start grouping up..the lack of defensive nodes isn't that big of a deal.

I'm kind of curious, do you believe that Explosive Arrow is another option? I would imagine it probably is considering its 3 AoE shots similar to Lightning Arrow & Ice Shot...though the DPS might be lower than the normal Burning Arrow, not sure though..
So far I am having no trouble solo, although I do group sometimes too so that helps too. I don't see any major cons in the build, considering as a ranger you should be able to orb walk/kite really well and stay in the back. Solo is a different story, Traps and Kiting is a must in certain situations, but against champ/elite packs its not that much of a problem but when it comes to bosses, its rough.
