Please. Cause I could use some assistance, given how many times I died on that last night.
My stats are average. WD isn't my primary toon, my wizard is, and all my gold has gone to funding wizard upgrades. Thus, my WD gear isn't the best. He's at 28k hp, 9800 dps (~13k with soul harvest, but that's not really relevant for the rakanoth fight), 1.9k armor.
Here's the build I've been trying. Unsuccessfully.

If you're unable to do that for some reason, perhaps this will help.
I used a similar build as you, but I really like hex with the healing rune. Hex healing and pots was enough cover up from any dmg from his ranged attacks, so you should be fine. If it's the teleport thats killing you (1 shot me), you just have to time spirit walk really well so that you don't get hit by it. Otherwise, just keep your distance from him and you should be fine.

This is Inferno, but the same strategy should apply. Video helps understand where to stand.
