Played this build in Abyss and it was my first 90. Back then, I ran Windscream and Enfeeble as my second curse.
This time around I'm just running flammability. Level 75 (still some maturing to do), 4.6k life, 3100 armor, and I feel like everything in yellow maps just trucks me for at least a third of my life, even with non-rippy mods. I am res capped. Current gear is below, and there are some obvious gaps - namely a lack of 6S on Ngamahu, could use a 5th link on cyclone, need to do some more coloring and linking, poor Belly roll - but I feel like I'm missing something. I do have my uber lab points, but my tank feels bad. Am I just being dumb?
You have pretty good life rolls on most of your stuff, maybe you just need more levels to increase your health pool.
You could also grab a cheap corrupted 6L armor with some life + resists until you can 6L your unique. This is just a basic search, but there are some listed for around 15c with socket colors 2B-2R-2G at http://poe.trade/search/ahunarasitoara (idk if those are the colors you want)

thanks for that. As it turns out, 6S on the ngamahu is indirectly a big bonus to survivability - the increased AoE and damage means more damage to leech from. I've also leveled a few times and hit 5.1k life so far. Survivability has gone up a great deal, but packs of porcupines are still often a problem. Trying to train myself to shave off bits of a porcupine pack at a time, unless there's a better trick?

Yeah, you kind of have to be careful around the porcupines. Endurance charges might help reduce their damage. I'm lazy, so I prefer to just use a Red Dream jewel to accumulate them (expensive), but you could also use an Enduring Cry skill gem.
Played this build during Abyss league. It's still my favorite lab runner; I think I'll use this build again in a future league. Anyway, I managed to craft this double corruption today, I thought you guys might appreciate it:
Wish I had more currency to buy a 12% attack speed axe beforehand. QQ
That is a nice corruption.
Well, you can just corrupt more of this axe since the most you lose is a 6 sockets (instead of 6L). ;)

Besides what @Goofio stated, CWDT + Immortal Call will also help.
Popping Basalt (or Taste of Hate) + Granite flasks before engaging them will help too.

Getting the tombfist with 2 abyss sockets would also mean losing one of my links? What should I be dropping the immortal call, herald setup, or leap?

Keep Leap Slam, but remove 2 of its support gems. Pick out of: Life Gain on Hit, Onslaught, or Faster Attacks Support. Then move your existing glove gems to your boots, and your 2 remaining boot gems to your 2-socket Tombfists.

I'm following this build to level 86, everything was fine and fun. But when I tried to do the uber lab, I died couple times. I was never able to complete it. Can someone please take a look at my gears and setups and give me some recommendations? Is it a problem of my setup or anything to improve? BTW, this is my first lvl 86 char. Just started to play this game a month ago. Many thanks.

What part of lab are you dying on? The traps or Izaro (and which phase)? Are you using poelab.com as your daily guide? Because Izaro can be easy or hard depending on his phases. Info can be found here:
Your equipment has pretty good life rolls other than the Hypnotic Circle Two-Stone Ring. Maybe you've been unfortunate and picked a couple of bad lab days.
Edit: Ah, no 20% culling strike from the Bane of Legends ascendancy yet. I assume you are dying in the 3rd Izaro phase then. Maybe swap in a Culling Strike skill gem on your axe or totem (boots)? It would shorten the third phase. And it would only be used for this one fight. You won't need the gem after you get the ascendancy, but it might give you a slight edge on your first completion.

Thank you so much for the prompt response. I'll look into the things you recommended. I don't know there is such site poelab.com. Will check it for sure. And you are right, I mostly died on 3rd phase. And the traps killed me too.
