So, I'm looking at making my next season character. I'm pretty happy with my DH now, clearing Grift 25+ easy in sub-12 minutes, can very easily level all the gems I want. However, I've been asking around at peoples average clear speeds and found M6 is..well, slow compared to Jade, Firebird, Condemn Sader, etc.. That and boring. Mostly boring.
So, What have YOU found to be the fastest clearer? I'm primarily doing this for quick paragon leveling and something new & fun.
I had similar issues and questions like you had and ended up with a Sunwoku/Flying Dragon monk. It needs some gear (without the set and the weapon you're not really fast by any stretch of imagination), but once you have the basic items I personally think it's incredibly fast - and a lot of fun. You're dealing a ton of damage, DIRECT damage and not the indirect "put down pets and run around like a headless chicken" damage, and you're insanely quick thanks to Dashing Strike and the Epiphany teleport. Give it a try!
But I'm using the Sunwoku helmet and any other amulet with high CHD, holy damage, CHC, int/socket (in that order) will do. Plus, switch Time of Need to Mantra of Conviction (Annihilation rune) and Breath of Heaven to Zephyr rune for more movement speed. It's fast as lightning.
My fastest is FB wiz.. Although it's pretty much the only char I have near BiS, but all in all T6 clears pretty fast depending on rift type and mob density. Fastest I have done has been around 3 mins, but it was only 1 level rift with crazy density so I chain pulled everything. The average for me atm is between 5 and 6 minutes though, as I seen to get low density tunnel like rifts most of the time.

Speed is quite rediculous, runs mostly look like this

Gear can use some srs tuning, but well, using what I managed to get on season for now.
