Okay, so what support gems do I use for my Frenzy and Rain of Arrows? As in DMG priority-wise? As a physical bow user.

For Frenzy of course Faster Attacks and Added Fire, but what then? Faster Projectiles? I know Leech might be necessary, but currently it isn't really since I've got a lot on my gear and my damage just isn't very good(probably need a good bow, although Darkscorn isn't THAT bad). At the moment I'm using Faster Projectiles as it's fairly light on mana.

For Rain of Arrows I'd assume Faster Attacks, Added Fire, Increased AoE(,Concentrated Effect if 5L). Right?

Not true, ST is actually the most efficient way to level at any point in the game. Boof and I both did test runs with ranger muling ST, he got to 33.5 in 2 hours, I got to somewhere around 30-31 (killing vaal with a lvl 8 longsword). Previous two hour record (by cwu) was lvl 31. It is ridiculously OP, 30 min or less act 1 is pretty standard on ST because you can kill mobs while you run (use ST, crowd mobs behind you and hit them while you run away).

Cleave is pretty dumpster actually, especially ele cleave, only reasonable way to use cleave now is two-handed

There doesn't seem to be any useful 1 handed Dexterity AoE skill, (one that doesn't force you to goto melee range) that isn't Spectral Throw.
You can try Whirling Blades for a safeish but low damage aoe or flickerstrike with frenzy.
If you are going to go claw, just accept that your claw is basically pointless against any mobs
You can just use an Intelligence Skill instead for ranged splash though, as a shadow.

Also, if you are willing to use a lot of orbs, you can use Melee Splash support gem (Strength socket).
Increased Area of Effect support gem is nice, but you will probably not bring your character to Cruel or Merciless.

In other words, Claws suck. They can life leech and do a lot of damage vs single targets though with dual strike with dual wield, especially with their nice Claws Nodes off to the right, but that forces you to goto melee range.

Is there any skill to build my Shadow Claw around (self-found in new league)? Reave seems like a pretty lousy skill and Cleave has gotten boring by this point now.

Do you wanna just do pure trap or do other stuff too? ES is fine, but honestly evasion starts to get pretty shit after like level 30-40 or so, you should probably spec IR, I can make you a tree if you don't mind giving me a little more detail.

I am using Fire Trap and Lightning trap with Conductivity and some Bear Trap. Thinking about adding Power Charge on Crit and Discharge but not sure.

This is my build so far. Hopefully I didn't cock it (or the link) too badly.

I also plan on going CI eventually.

Invite please ^^, IGN RusPanda (think I have some people added from a while ago). So If I'm leveling a witch and I found a 8% Q Spectral Throw would that be better for leveling than freezing pulse spam? (Assuming i find a half decent dagger or something)

Thats a level 80~ tree I threw together. You would probably run Purity and Clarity as auras. You would probably want to use PCoC or the Voll's Chest because the Power charges will be really useful here. Also if you don't mind doing extra work in fights, linking your main trap/s to a mine will drastically increase your damage because Mine + Trap double dips on the damage passive in addition to the damage multiplier on the mine.
