Beware, this is a 2H build!
So that new passive "Creeping Death" instantly appealed to me and I started playing around with it once i hit 70. This is what came of it and I'm loving it:

Skills
Spirit Barrage is the main damage dealer. It gives insane DPS on single targets. Can only be spammed with passive Rush of Essence. Goes over obstacles, through walls, always hits, even outside your screen. AWESOME.
Locusts is for thrash.
Haunt is for elites and the tough trash.
Piranhas mana spender. Rune Wave of Mutilation gives 15% damage taken. They crit for massive damage (15x sheet DPS!) no idea why, might be a bug.
How it works
Creeping Death will make Locusts, Haunt and the dmg from Piranhas last for 5 minutes, so you'll only need to cast them once!
Thrash gets a taste of Locusts and the tougher enemys get Haunt or just focused down by Barrage.
Elites/rares/bosses get Piranhas and Locusts thrown at them and Haunt on each, if you manage to target them. Then it's time to let the Barrage flow, casting Piranhas as often as possible.
2 hander?!
Haunt and Locusts deal %weapon damage over time, so the higher your weapon's damage (not DPS!), the more effective they are. Plus Spirit Barrage is much easier channeled with a slow 2H weapon.
Items
Get %ressource reduction, avoid %attack speed. And get %cold or %poison damage.
Demo
This is me at 250k sheet DPS taking out Ghom in 40s on Master. Items have 33% poison damage and 10% elite damage. Effective DPS is 4.2m!
