Efficient and lethal DB farming spec. Click the video below and upvote if you like the build. Thank you!

Equip Pride's Fall + Cindercoat to take advantage of the near-instant EB casts (huge damage boost) when the In-Geom buff is active.
The side benefit of slotting so much CDR to keep up Taeguk is that: even without the In-Geom buff, you can still dish out a good bit of damage!
Diamond Skin provides a lot of shielding while In-Geom is active. Dominance provides additional shielding and fills the gap when the buff is not active. These shields will work together to keep the Pride's Fall buff active.
The In-Geom buff will quickly replenish Taeguk stacks, so encountering a bad level load or accidentally dropping stacks isn't as big of a deal.
Warzechians + Illusionist + Sleek Shell allow quick, consistent movement in between casting Teleport. Keep Nemesis on swap.
Taeguk + Energy Armor (Pinpoint Barrier) are the primary means of defense. The 5% crit also allows more flexibility with slotting CHC on gear.
Shoulder slot is optional. Homing Pads are probably best for speed runs. Corruption is craftable - Makes it easy to get the affixes you want.

Affixes
Orange are required. Yellow are preferred. Green are the easiest to exchange or make due without.
Secondary resists are preferred on items. In general, shoot for at least 400k life, 450% CHD, 55% CHC, and 70% AD.

Head: Socket / INT / CHC / Meteor% or VIT
Shoulders: CDR / EB% / Int / AD or VIT
Amulet: Socket / CHD / CHC / Fire%
Chest: Fire% / 3 Sockets / INT / VIT
Wrist: Fire% / CHC / INT / VIT
Gloves: CDR / CHC / INT / CHD
Waist: INT / VIT / Life% / LPS
Legs: INT / 2 Sockets / VIT / Armor+
Boots: Meteor% / INT / VIT / Armor+ or LPS
Ring1: Socket / CDR / CHD / AD or CHC
Ring2: Socket / CDR / CHD / INT or CHC
Weapon: Socket (Gifted) / CDR / INT / +%Dmg
Offhand: CDR / CHC / INT / AD or APoC

CDR
At least 60% CDR is needed to keep up Taeguk stacks. My recommendation is to slot as much as possible, up to 62.6%.

RCR
Pride's Fall + Cindercoat + 10% RCR from Paragon will be all that you need. Use Black Hole sparingly and you won't run out of AP.
Assign Templar's Inspire when solo. When in group, equip a source with APoC.

Area Damage
You'll want 1-2 affixes dedicated to area damage. With paragon, this will give you anywhere from 70% to 90% AD.
For a bit more info on area damage, see this video. Chain Reaction's fast attack allows AD to proc fairly often.
IMO shoulder and source are the best slots for AD, Ring is also good, but you lose out on other offensive affixes when slotting AD on ring.

VIT
Shoulder or Helmet are the best places to add an extra VIT roll if you feel one is needed. With shoulders, you sacrifice a possible AD roll, with helm you sacrifice a possible Meteor% roll. Both options are viable.

The Cube
Wand of Woh or In-Geom- Equip whichever you have a better weapon of.
Pride's Fall - Provides a good amount of required RCR. Allows gearing of affixes other than RCR.
RoRG - Required to meet set bonuses.

Legendary Gems
Bane of the Trapped - Multiplicative damage bonus that procs itself and matches Explosive blast's damage range. Sold!
Bane of the Powerful - Best additive damage bonus available. Instant damage unlike some other options. Easiest to replace if you want to slot something else.
Taeguk - Provides defense and extra offense for the build. Required.

Build Guide

Purpose

Farm T7-T8 for death's breath. Boasts high mobility, ease of dealing out damage. Efficient and lethal.

Strategy

Move quickly between elite packs, killing the entire pack will refresh your In-Geom and Bane of the Powerful.
Stun enemies with Teleport (Calamity). Run speed items and bonuses allow you to quickly move between casting Teleport.
Black Hole (Supermassive) works well to CC elites, especially the ranged elites that don't like to group up.

Note: Black Hole (Supermassive) is also used as an AP sink. Allows you to convert extra AP into damage when possible. Typically you will only cast this on elites.

Cast your signature spell as filler, to proc the second half of Bastions of Will.

Passives

Audacity - Required.
Evocation - Required.
Illusionist - Allows for high mobility.
Dominance - Shielding allows greater uptime of Pride's Fall and higher defense.

Configuration

Use Teleport on left click to easily direct your character without activating force move. Use (force stand + teleport) to activate Teleport.
Use the num lock method on EB and DS. While the casting is not perfect (I notice ~.3s gap between blasts), it is better than I do in rotation.

Swaps

For More Damage:

Swap Energy Armor (Pinpoint Barrier) for Magic Weapon (Force Weapon).
Swap Illusionist for Elemental Exposure or Glass Cannon.

For more Defense:

Swap Bane of the Powerful for Molten Wildebeest's Gizzard.

To balance out the above swap, consider swapping Dominance for Elemental Exposure or Glass Cannon.

Swap Pinpoint Barrier for the Force armor or Prismatic Armor rune.

Skill Swap:

Shock Pulse (Explosive Bolts) was chosen for ease of use. The bolts pierce and cover a lot of ground without having to aim precisely. Swap to Magic Missile (Glacial Spike) for more CC.
Drop Black Hole entirely. Swap Black Hole for Frost Nova (Frozen Mists). Swap Shock Pulse for your favorite lightning signature spell.
