Need help with my self-stun build

Tala Moana,

For a while now I wanted to make a self-stun fire exploder cast when stunned build. I have almost acquired all necessary gear but I still have to level my chieftain to maps to be able to equip everything.

The idea is simple:

1)
Valyrium + VERY low ES pool = I get stunned by being hit by tiny raindrops.

2)
Scold's Bridle = when I spend mana, I hit myself for a rather small amount of damage, but because my stun threshold is so crazy low, I stun myself by spending mana.

3) So I stun myself when using a skill = kaboom all my cast when stunned setups can trigger.

For gear I obviously need:

1)
Valyrium: to get the stun threshold as low as possible

2)
Scold's Bridle: to stun myself when spending mana, comes with incredible spell damage

3) Two 6-links for good cast when stunned spell links.
I have a +3 fire staff with spell damage and a 6-link Belly of the Beast for bladespells (planning to get Avatar of Fire for 100% phys to fire).


Now my questions:

1) Will this mechanic actually work? Can I stun myself consistently? Am I overlooking something? Because I cannot find any self-stun build anywhere... .

2) What should I trigger from my staff? Firestorm seems a good one, but after that I'm in doubt for fire spells.

3) Is this a good passive tree? https://poeplanner.com/AAwAANcADDEAAGjG2FhjPfzEWPZIXz8UIO8O2WGtjc9-GS4n7QYO1HwJ9sauDF8cp1OlPC2DX4PMtz7-Cti98kU64aZXMZ5Bh_nogscdvjOHA-4LYa9saPLwH6IABLPAZjwF73yaO-081aaCm-w4OtgnL5BVGjg1kv6PTeNQR3as5CIabDbpJKoWb-Nq-tIdFK-Nna4DdZErXwSnCNgkVkjr7prgRZ1TUnyDES0snLzqakMI9BzcjxqMz-RRZ5vUj64-2t0QWIdl4XMm88YEpqMGw7l-E6UD1r1gAAAAAAA=

Thanks for the help!

I was looking to make something similar with Eye of innocence (100 fire damage taken when you ignite a enemy)
