Problems with my first ranger ever

Heya community,
First of all I want to apolgize if my english skills aren't the best, I'm not a native speaker :)

So I wanted to create a ranger on my own because I saw this really fancy new bow Hopeshredder and there isn't a single official guide out there using this bow. Beside using this bow for my character I always wanted to create a character using Barrage as main damage source with 3 volley fire threshold jewels to make it aoe viable without any loss in damage through a GMP gem or something similiar to it.Third fact about this build is that I absolutely hate crit builds and never played a single one in the past (Ele Overlaod ftw). So to sum it up I wanted to make a non crit Barrage Raider using the Hopeshredder Ranger Bow for maximum frenzy charge abuse.

My first problem to solve was the mitigation of the degen on the bow. The solution for this were the 'The blood dance sharkskin boots' combined with a 'Kintsugi exquisite Leather' to have some counter regen and a DoT mitigation through Kintsugis damage reduction.

My second and main problem which isn't solved yet is creating a working tree that doesnt use crit + the right gear to create a decent to high damage character (I won't reach more than 300k dmg, even with point blank) with good suvivability (did I mention that this build has nearly no life at all?) that won't perma die after T6 maps.

I really hope you can help me out a bit and give me some advise what things I could change to make it viable (or at least not 100% unviable for red maps).
I'm also pretty new this whole theorycraft thing so please be gentle when judging about my PoB link <3
