This build is superior to ruin king. Ruin king is all about the big crit number, but this build is more consistent.
1) 20% extra crit damage is much less of an increase now, due to other crit multiplier increases. In fact, it's pretty much matched by the 4% crit from T4 AoV. Math:
Assume 70% base crit chance
Base 2.95 crit multiplier for this build (MOK, scion of fire, core 2 TS)
0.2 crit multi increase for ruin king = 5.9% dps increase
4% crit chance increase for this build = 3.3% dps increase
So the 20% crit damage increase is almost completely matched by two more FvS levels.
2) This build has a much easier time gearing out (no 3pc abishai required). With new gear and greensteel, I don't see how you can fit 3pc abishai effectively.
3) More chain missiles - although CM is still majorly bugged, it's clear that you get more procs with more caster levels.
