Again there is not best magical balance, but the more int (or less str points) the better. Hybrid s/s wont be able to tank as good as a blader, nor will it be able to hit nukes as strong as a pure int spear nuker, so know the limitations of your build.
Kd, stab, stab, nuke, is an ok strategy. If you could find the time to sp farm for a bit more skill, try to get lightning chain, and flying stone smash for bleed and division debuffs, which adds alot to the damage you can dish out.
Hybrid int usually uses spear, and pure ints usually use s/s, though you could make a hybrid int s/s just make sure you dont place too much str points for your lvl 80 build.

A slightly off-topic question:
Would a hybrid INT spear need to be 1:7? Because to me, if you're going to have that that many points in INT, shouldn't you just go pure? (I've been working on a hybrid INT spear that's 2:1.)

Its just a balancing exercise. I've seen 1:7 int hybrid spears dishing out high damage nukes, and 1:2 int hybrid spears doing excellent heuksal skill damage and tanking for a bit without depending on snow shield. Again, there is no correct answer for this. The more int, the higher the nuke damage; the more str, the more damage you could do with weapon skills (especially when it crits), and to an extent, tank for a bit.
