Is the radiance line in that build a typo?

You’re using a power DH build, but some of your choices can be improved:

1) Replace Radiance for Virtues (1,2,3 or 2,2,3).
2) Replace your elite; Renewed Focus is way better than Dragon’s Maw., specially in the sutain department in which seems that you’re struggling with.
3) In the DH traitline replace Hunter’s Fortification by Heavy Light. A knockback each 10 s which also provides 6 s of balance is way bettern than HF: you alreday have Ray of Judgement, Contemplation of Purity and Absolute Resolution to cover that front.
4) In the DH traitline replace Hunter’s Determination by Bulkwark; a random proc that interrupts each 60 s can’t compete with 2 extra seconds of block which also are enhanced in a +33% radious and which (due Renewed Focius elite) can be used two times in 72 seconds. That means 6 seconds of block + 2 seconds of invulnerability + 6 seconds of block to spam in a row (without even counting the focus) which is a MASSIVE diference compared to your current build (4 seconds of block each 72 s).
5) Replace your Eagle runes by either Pack (better for combat) or Traveller (much better mobility).
6) I do use Air sigil + Force in scepter and focus and always Generosity in the bow (oftenly pairted with Hydromancy).

I would also suggest you to try the condition builds; burn Guard/DH is strong and fun.
