I replaced it with Ball Lightning and was able to still clear all of Act 3. Going to try messing around with Impale maybe, but I like the lack of aiming required for Ball Lightning.
I'm still using it since it cuts through invulnerable minions and hits the target behind them.
actually thats y frost arrow is pretty viable becuasue it cuts thru multiple minions - i ran into an invunrable champ pack last night and didnt break a sweat. didnt die, killed the pack in about 30 secs 82k dps post nerf w/ ss

Ball Lightning goes through things as well, and helped me kill multiple invulnerable minion packs last night.
gonna try it tonight then but lots of people talking about impales 250% weapon dam. anyone try this last night? or today.
It also costs 25 hatred per Impale, and may require you to pick up another offensive ability for AoE depending on how large the packs in your act are and if Hungering/Impale can kill them all (or whatever your Hatred generator is).
with the bleed ruin it doesnt give a CD? i thought i tried it, and hated the CD, maybe im losing it??
Losing it. I tried Grievous Wounds rune, and while I was laughing at the huge crits I was not able to kill the mobs fast enough since I hadn't picked up a good AoE. I also tried Overpenetration, and will probably give that one another shot. It's a little more viable solo since you can line the mobs up and you don't have to worry about them following a party member. If I could get enough LoH to drop Gloom from my build, or live without Vault I could use Impale for elites/bosses and keep Multi/Ball Lightning for AoE.
I replaced it with Screaming Skull, and now i can just stand still and spam it on champion packs unless they have mortar or invulnerability. They never get to me. I seem to be killing things almost as fast as I was with NT, since I'm spending very little time kiting. Last night I even took on 5 packs of champions and rares simultaneously, with one of them having shielding, and killed them all without any issue. Shielding was on a ranged group, so I didn't have to kite as much. To be fair, none of them had mortar to contend with, but still I was amazed. And it's not that mortar is hard to deal with, just takes longer to kill because I have to weave around.
Tried with impale. It works, but mobs with illusionist are a pain in the ass to deal. So far, i'm very succesfull switching smoke screen with Shadow power + gloom (And i'm not even beastly geared) and frost arrow. Dropped sharpshooter, added cull the weak....i think no ? (+15% dmg to chilled or frozen targets)

I've been using Shadow Power with Gloom since for weeks now. Assuming you have decent amount of health (30k), you can take multiple hits in Inferno. The life steal makes reflect damage a joke. And the duration is twice as long as Smoke Screen.

I switched to BL for the AoE. Further, I dropped vault and took Impale+Wounds for my Nuke. Yes, DH's are now a 3 button class imo ... a Generator, an AoE, and a Nuke.

Was thinking of trying something exactly like that out tonight.
I also want to try Multishot. Last time I used it was leveling in normal so maybe it's not as awesome as I remember. I'm just hoping my gear is good enough for Gloom to fully replace Smoke Screen. I don't think I can live without Vault. Smoke Screen and Gloom are just two different buttons for the same things so I really need to just pick one.
Using impale to clear easymode Act I. Prob hit up frost arrow for Act3 farming since I can't kill elite pacts in literally 3 shots of impale like I do in act I.
