Pretty much everything about your build seems fine to me (a fellow Pyromancer), but just that +15 flame... It seems like a waste to go to all that effort upgrading it, then not ascending it.

I would recommend using Velka's Talisman, since its magic adjust is based on Intelligence, rather than Faith. This means that you'd have a magic adjust of 190 with Velka's Talisman, versus 142~168 with the Faith-scaling Talismans.
