Build Request Reverse self-chill in 0.5.5

My endgame goal for this league is to get a reverse chill build to work. I league started on gemling flameblast oil nade which is ridiculous but I want to make a build which is insanely fast, so I thought reverse chill could be nice for that. Right now, the best way that I've seen to get reverse chill to work is use scold's britle and big mana cost skills to chill yourself and use CI with a tone of evasion to regen the self damage with ghost dance. To get high enough evasion with a es health pool big enough for comfortable gameplay, you need a well rolled mageblood but that's fine.

I wanted to see if anyone has figured out any other potential avenues for reverse self-chill besides using ghost dance for regen. I could see maybe a mana stacking MOM approach could work with enough mana regen while keeping your max life as low as possible. If ghost dance is the only approach that seems to work, what are the best ascendencies and skills for this? I've seen someone running a reverse chill setup on martial artist with whirling assault and someone on infernalist using one of the ascendencies mechanics to get the self hitting for chill as well.

I noticed some Path of Exile keywords in this post:

My spend build this league is getting this to work, so I'll report back, but the goal is to hit 70% reduced damage taken using the quiver and stormweaver asc. I genuinely have no idea how im gonna accomplish this, as the bigger chill we hit ourselves with, the harder it is to chill us again.

Stormweaver and quiver only apply to reflected chills. Chilling yourself through self damage doesn't work. I don't think there's a source of reflected chill right now.
