On a serious note: delaying upgrading her permafrost until the later levels doesn't seem like a good idea to me. I haven't played Skadi in awhile, but even with the permafrost nerfs, it's still a good utility skill.
Wouldn't you want to avoid crit? She seems more ability based so wouldn't items like Brawler's Beat Stick and Jotunn's Wrath work better for her?
Back in S3, 40% crit was considered the standard. Between Deathbringer and Malice, you're now getting 50% so the crit chance is great, and pairs well with the high power build. Malice's new passive is also great for a more ability-based hunter like Skadi.
But in the end, I think it's lacking in pen (the only thing in the build is a flat 15 from The Crusher, and doesn't have either enough attack speed to help get more hits off (thus giving more chance of critting) or Jotunn's Wrath to at least commit more strongly to an ability-based setup (which is not meta but could work in some situations).
