Crafts Setup:
Zann Esu's Secrets Set:
The set offers similar damage (if you don't mind casting Ravenheart all the time), much better survivability, and is extremely cheap to build. After testing both setups, I can wholeheartedly recommend going with the set if you want to play Ice Bolt Nova. It's actually pretty good for the low investment (all runes, no crafted jewels).
