I'm still collecting gear to find the true potential of this build, but after playing it for a bit, this is the build I will be using going into RoS. The build revolves around Myken's Ball of Hate. http://us.battle.net/d3/en/item/mykens-ball-of-hate
The build lacks a bit of control, but seems to have decent survivability. I may swap Archon out, and I will use either Unwavering Will or Elemental Exposure for my level 70 passive.
Electrocute with Surge of Power- Great ap generation especially with Myken's.
Arcane Orb with Spark- Good damage. The rune has great interaction with Myken's/Electrocute.
Familiar with Sparkflint- Nice damage modifier.
Magic Weapon with Force Weapon- Damage modifier with a bit of survivability.
Energy Armor with Prismatic Armor- I chose this for survivability, armor and resistances. The loss of ap isn't so bad with the ap generation of Electrocute/Myken's/Surge of Power.
Archon with Improved Archon- Damage, plain and simple.
Passives
Paralysis- I chose this for some control, works nicely with electrocute/Myken's.
Glass Canon- Damage at the cost of armor which is negated by Energy Armor.
Arcane Dynamo- Great damage boost to Arcane Orb. Stacks very quickly.
So that's it. I welcome any suggestions or feedback.
Edit: Forgot to add, may need some LoH and Apoc may allow more flexibility with what rune is chosen for electrocute.
Not to cast any doubt on the build (haven't tested it), but last I checked Arcane Dynamo gains a stack per cast, not per 'hit' of the ability, so chaining doesn't change much.
You're right, I guess I wasn't paying attention to how fast it could stack while launching boosted Arcane Orbs. I launch orbs at 5, and immediately Electrocute. The stacks are back up by the time the first orb makes contact. My bad lol. Still would love for someone with good gear to try this out. Sadly i have no video capture software.
Sorry for the bad quality. My first time uploading videos, and the quality didn't quite come out the same on youtube as it did in the original video. I'll work on that lol. I could probably do a higher torment level but I am trying to farm better gear as as efficiently as possible. So here's the video, quite long so skim through it if you want.

Yeah farming now. Drops have been less than stellar though
Video on the way. Nothing fancy, just a blast though 'Raising the Catapults' in Act III Torment 1. Should be up in 20 minutes.
