Ok so, this is pretty much your standard build. I chose to get a little more use from Rush of essence by using haunt as my main attack, runed down to a faster dot speed.
Four Dogs of course, runed for a life, not so much for me but so they can stay alive the full 60 seconds and get blown up.
Alibaster Spirit Barrage as a little dps helper and something I dont have to micro manage as much.
I chose The rune for sacrifice to keep up a 32% damage buff.
Gargantuan with cleave, self explanitory.
My favorite though is Mass confusion, runed Alibaster. Chance for more dogs. I love a spell like mass confusion.... not so much for crowd control just for fun.
Also imagine if you will..... Mass confusion and Dogs are both on 60 second CD. The burst is insane. Hit MC, Sacrifice your dogs, 78% could return more dogs, blow them up too..... Run out of Dogs?.... Hit your summon. LOL
I plan on using Spirit Barrage, Mass Confusion, and Explosion as soon as They are available everytime,
With Rush of essence and main attacks being Spirit, Mana should not be an issue.
Decent in average for PvE but it would be boring and not efficient for boss fight. You will have to cast haunt every 3 sec and wait until another haunt and revive your pets between haunts.

I was thinking that .... what about running Gargantuan as Restless Giant? That would certainly up your Boss killing power.
Also it is once per 20 seconds re-uping Barrage Haunt as necessary on multiple targets and the once a minute rotation which bleeds in as well.
With the dogs, I guess if they are living well enough you can light them on fire as well for more damage.
While I do anticipate this build not being very interactive, I am hoping it is both bursty enough, and allows me free room to run a bit.
Boss killing being the weakness it would appear. More of a farming build I think.
I modified your build to make it a bit more efficient.
I removed Rush of Essence because if you do the math, 295 mana (Spirit Barrage) over 10 seconds (29.5 per sec) is almost nothing, even If spammed. Yea...Blizzard made RoE almost completely useless thanks to the -75% nerf. Bloodsplatter is there to mainly to help with the cooldowns (Confusion, Gargantuan, Z-Dogs), but does also help with mana regen.
To help with mana I put a golden rune in Spirit Barrage. At rank 4 you'll only get back a net of 59 mana, but at rank 7 you'll receive a net of 280 mana per hit. That in conjunction with Blood Splatter should fix any mana problems. Simply spam it if you need more mana.
I changed the Sacrifice rune from a crimson to an alabaster (Next of Kin), that way you can spam Sacrifice. I also replaced the rune in Gargantuan so it could get a huge damage boost and a shorted cooldown (Bloodsplatter).
The real requirements of this build is high runestone levels and a high gold "pick-up" radius.
Anyhow's take a look if you're interested.
