Since having an intelligent discussion is virtually impossible on official forums, tempting my chance here.
For some reason i absolutly hate playing with Nether Tentacles, its slow, its boring and i feel its going to get hit by the nerfbat soon. Also feel like it would belong more in the Witch Doctor's asset than ours. Also prolly because i was an hipster in another life or something.
Sadly i just feel virtually all our other Hatred dumps are lackluster, i've seen many boss kill videos from DHs that just spams Bola Shot/Bitter Pills and Hungering Arrow/Devouring Arrow.
Devouring Arrow def seems like one of our best single target ability.
Only other decent option seems to be Spike Traps/Scatter so decided to try to make a build based around it, i've also seen a similar builds posted before but it didn't include Vault, wich i can't live without :(.
Pull a pack -> place 3 Caltrops/Jagged Spike on top of each other + Spike traps and stand on it, when mobs reach me, SS if needed -> vault out of it put down more Caltrops/spike traps, rinse repeat. Fairly successful in A2 inferno so far.
Biggest problem is that while the build doesn't use much Hatred, its INSANELY Discipline heavy, wich explains the reasons for Perfectionist in it (OMG Y U NO USE SAME PASSIVES AS 99% OTHER DRONES, answer : cause i like thinking for myself). I'm also playing this build with 54 max Discipline (8 from xbow, 8 from cloak, 8 from quiver).
Hungering arrow is there mostly for single target damage and if i ever need to build Hatred for more Spike traps.
Also its not a good build for pointless DPS show-offs since the bonus from Cull the Weak doesn't show on the character sheet. I dropped Archery too cause atm i play with an 1hand xbow and i feel the bonus is weaker than the bonus from Sharpshooter, when i get a decent 2hand bow or xbow (bow is prolly the best for this build) i'm swapping them.
Feel free to comment/discuss !

How i play it is basically :
