As a hypothetical backstory for Diablo 3's male Wizard, Redemption of the Vizjerei follows our hero-to-be as he begrudgingly embarks on a journey with a mysterious old man to confront his personal demons in the lands of his childhood and forestall the return of the Burning Hells to Sanctuary. Excerpt:
He lowered his hand from his face and ran it tenderly across the scarred and pitted surface of the old table. “This could be your chance for redemption, son. For setting right the ill deeds you have committed.” So he did know. But how? I slowly lifted my head and peered once more into his glimmering eyes. My lips parted to speak, but again he raised his faintly trembling hand and I was struck dumb. “There is more to your fate than even you know. This journey – if you like to think of it as such – is not one of adventure. Rather, it is one of erudition and deliverance. Your personal salvation, as well as that of the entire mortal realm of Sanctuary, rests in your hands...” -

I haven't filled out the remaining 2 skills or passives, but those skills are the basis of the build. I think personally I'd opt for one of the two reactive skills (Overpower, Revenge) and War Cry to round out the actives...what do you all think?

I would assume so, since the increased mana cost from Pierce the Veil is applied when (or even before) the spell is cast, and the mana return from Rush of Essence occurs after the spell is cast.

This is supposedly the formula for Zombie Dogs (remember, green text scales, and even at level 1, it's summoning 3, so it has to change somewhere, somehow):

No. We've definitely had 1-post wonders win these kinds of contests before.

He's got Mantra of Evasion active at the very start (and probably for most of the vid). It's the circly stuff around everything's feet.

From everything we've seen, 1 Attack = 1% damage increase, so a 50% damage increase is nothing to sneeze at IMO. If you take gear into account, a well-geared level 60 WD could probably add several hundred percent to their damage with Gruesome Feast. I definitely think it's worth it, but that's just my opinion.
This is a good point that I took into consideration, but instead of just re-runing BBV, I decided to replace it entirely. I put in Indigo Spirit Barrage instead, as that gives me a good spammable AoE damage spell so I don't have to rely so heavily on having dogs up to sacrifice all the time. I think with proper CD management of the Summon and Confusion, I could still have dogs up *most* of the time and Sacrifice them as necessary. Grasp of the Dead and Spirit Barrage should be sufficient for those times that I don't have dogs out.

Some tentative damage numbers for this build (again, not even taking gear into account, so these will presumably be much higher in practice):

Exact points I was going to make.
I was looking at utilizing the mechanic on Cleave for a Tank build, but I'm not sure how much I like it...

It's Wall of Zombies with an Alabaster rune.

It's Elemental Arrow.

Pretty sure he doesn't move.

With this build, I can gain a maximum bonus of +630 flat to Attack, and another 210% bonus, for a total possible Attack bonus of 1323 (without even taking gear into consideration). Add another +20% to all damage from Pierce the Veil, and I think we're looking at probably the hardest-hitting combination of any class. Of course, its dependence on Dogs is a definite limitation, especially on boss fights, and cooldown management of Zombie Dogs, BBV, and Confusion will be key. I'm going to go watch Dexter instead of trying to figure out a rotation for those, but...I think if you can figure out the CDs, this build will tear shit apart!

Yeah, Attack specifically says "Increases damage by x%" on the character screen, so I think it's safe to assume that heals won't scale with most gear (there's always a possibility of +healing effects affixes and the like).

Point taken, but this is a build built around dodge, which requires dual wield for The Guardian's Path passive dodge bonus.
Your points on damage for these skill are again well-taken, but damage isn't the concern of your post. You're talking about difficulty generating Spirit quickly enough, in which case faster weapons/DW will (seemingly) always be superior. Damage of those skills is a different argument. There's obviously going to be a trade-off. I feel like your post is kind of covering two topics that don't relate to each other within the context of your argument, if that makes sense. Are we talking about the damage of skills or the ability to generate Spirit effectively with a slow, 2H weapon, as your first paragraph would imply?
