The dogs are good for life on hit that's why i choose them and they can tank for you if you go behind them, aggro isn't very smart in this game, keep in mind that u might get frozen but your dogs can still hit targets and heal you while they do it.
Thats why i used pyrogeist with vampire bats coz both are fire dmg, when deciding skills you're using try to use same class since with this new patch items can easily roll extra dmg and is quite noticeable.
I place 3 pyrogeist before engaging, i get close to the mobs and start channeling vampire bats, if you're getting heavy dmg try to move behind your pets, i dont have the best gear in the world either and thats why i went with spirit vessel but you can change to gruesome feast for more dmg output if your gear is really good.
I didn't notice any cap, once i managed to count 21 around me, they're so op, can tank, hit like a truck and really fast. Fetishes seems the way to go now due to so much gear made for it. I have a feeling the 4 set zuni doesn't applies to fetishes summoned with the talent but only to the ones u get from fetish army, otherwise it will be too op that doesn't mean we cant lower the cd on fetish army and get 100+ minions.

This build relies on attack speed, channeling vampire bats has a high chance of spawning fetishes, faster you'll hit with your bats more fetishes you spawn, idea is to build an army of small minions and keep attacking stuff, build momentum and keep it up you'll end up melting everything.
You'll need to be in close melee so dont forget to get hp 90-100k, resistances and life on hit.

A variant of the previous build which is more defensive and filled with pets http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/witch-doctor#ScTQUY!WVe!YZYbac
I like blizzards changes to pets, i'll defo look for legendaries that make my pets op once RoS hits.
