I did not make this guide to show the item build, but to show the high GR gameplay in the linked video... somewhere on this page.
Update 29th Jan 2016
Since GR 78 is now outdated, the gem Esoteric Alteration has now been replaced in the guide by it's cruel cousin Gogok of Switfness.
Our lovely wolf companion has been replaced by it's nemesis the Boar. Why the boar? Wolf with CD and 10 sec uptime vs Convention of Elements was always a bit meh.
The Perfection talent was not so perfect afterall, so it was replaced by Leech. I did even consider to use my other dagger with Life per Hit, but meh. It has fear on hit chance. Leech + attack speed from the gem was lovely I tell you. But is it the best?
As suggested in the comments I did try to play with CDR in on the shoudlers instead of area damage, but it didn't take long before I rerolled it back.
Shoulders are still area dmg - Not because of Gorgok.
I did find an ancient Traveler's Pledge, but it's not yet augmented. Farming this game without botting takes a bit more time you know.
And last but not least.. Lacuni Prowlers have now competely replaced Ancient Parthan Defenders in the item build section. I did find some ok ancient Lacuni Prowlers with life pr sec instead of vit. Need to farm more bounties to reroll more of my million Lacuni Prowlers in the stash.
Almost forgot. No more Hatred generator. Replaced by Marked for Death: Mortal Enemy.
Might take some getting used to, but you wont run out of hatred unless you derp or you have no mobs for, lets say 1 minute.. What are the odds
^ This is with a Karlei's Point at 15 hatred return on hit

Update 31st Jan 2016
I'm probably going away from Gogok of Swiftness again, either replacing it with Bane of the Powerful or back to Esoteric.
Will be updated on the guide when I reach GR 80 with the used gem.
Gems:
Cdr in helmet.
Dex in the rest, and ofc it's a green one in the weapon aswell.
I'm going to make this simple for myself.
This is the gear I'm wearing at this moment.
Sooner or later I want to have lightning dmg% on some items instead of dex, but my bed is looking good from where I'm sitting atm so I don't want to elaborate.
Some short "useful" notes:
I want to switch out bracers for Lacuni Prowlers soon tm, with dex, vit, lightning%, crit, attack speed. (reroll movement speed into the missing)
I might want to replace vit on gloves for attack speed aswell. Might be a bit yolo.

Build Guide
Sadly because my pc is made out of potatos I did not record the GR 79 clear. I may record GR 80. We'll see
The gameplay of 78 and 79 was basically the same anyway.
Hunt down elites.
Watch the video.
I want more yellow elites.
Illusionists... F*******CK
How would you compare this to the other push builds? Is there potential to go higher than Nat's/LoN?
I'm a new player and just have a quick question.
How many of your set pieces are Ancient? Right now I only have an Ancient helm & (Traveler's Pledge as well). I do have an Ancient Karlei Point, although it's a bit low on Hatred regen (11).
I've always run a similar build. Never really liked managing taeguk with a hatred generator with the shadow set. Things only get difficult when you run Vengeance Dark Heart + Mortal Enemy with Aquila Cubed is when Elites have Waller affix. If you don't pay attention you can easily throw impales into the wall and quickly lose all of your hatred. Your choices of gems are interesting to try out.
Edit: Have you tried looking into Life Per Kill (Life after each Kill) on gear? I've noticed that between Shadow Power and Leech, 100% of your life per kill is added to your life per hit. Weapon and Pants can roll this
I look forward to seeing your progress
Have you tried using Wreath of Lightning or Strongarms? GR76 is getting easier now with tweaks to my setup. I'll try out GR77 soon.
I found Wreath of Lightning helpful in GR 75 and 76, but had to switch back to Esoteric to clear 77 due to survivability. In 75/76, unless I was just lucky, WoL was able to clear Illusionist affixes quite easily. Strongarms was just something I tested out when clearing 77. It's a nice bonus, but I might go back to Nemesis. It's just really frustrating finding a Pylon but not having elites around to kill.
GR78 is being a bitch.
