CWDT confusion on what triggers
I noticed that once I changed my headgear that CWDT was no longer triggering all 3 spells linked to it. Previously It would cast Summon Skeletons, Molten Shell, and Enfeeble when the threshold was met. But when I changed to The Broken Crown unique, only Summon Skeletons would trigger:

I noticed that the two that wouldn't proc contained not only a red exclamation point on them (indicating a spell that can't be actively used), but also had a green exclamation point; whereas Summon Skels only had the red exclamation point. So I moved the setup to my boots (had to re-color them ... grrr), and the setup now works. All 3 trigger when the threshold is met.

Does the physical positioning of the gems in the sockets matter here, or is there something about the Broken Crown unique, or what am I missing that explains this oddity? The Broken Crown specs:

I think the cast on death effect of the helm was taking precedence over CWDT, and the reason that cwdt was still casting skeletons is because cast on death doesn't work with minion/summon spells.

Prety much this, you usualy cant gain multiple cast when/on bonuses and the helmet would take precedence.

Thanks very much for the information. There's definitely lots of nuances in this game, particularly when it comes to gem interaction.

Sidenode: CwDT will also cast from the top of the gems to the bottom, this can sometimes be of importance (although not with this gems; but when you have generators and spenders of [something] in there). Also, if you use multiple trigger gems, they are triggered in sequence (Main hand, Amulet, Helm, Off hand, Body armour, Gloves, Boots). So yes, there are a few nuances^^

The Cast on Death prevents the CWDT from casting since it can add a huge increase in damage and it would be overpowered otherwise.
