Possible item changes:
Ancient Parthan Defenders to Strongarm Bracers. Less Toughness in exchange for up to 30% additive dmg.
Chilanik's Chain (cube) to Illusory Boots. Shouldn't be necesary because you can move through units while Whirlwind.
Solanium (cube) to Vigilance and drop all the crit from gear. Not worth it in my oppinion, as you are the only providing some healing source on the group with the health globes unless running a monk, and in that case the vigilance sanctuary gets overwritten with the monk one.
Solanium (cube) to Thunderfury. Attack speed decrease on mobs is a little debuff to reduce their damage.
Possible Skill Changes:
Ancient Spear Rage Flip rune to Harpoon rune. Personal preference here.
War Cry - Veteran's Warning rune to Hardened Wrath rune. If running with monk using dodge mantra, swap this rune.
Diamonds on gear and weapon.

IMPORTANT --> DO NOT TAKE AREA DMG TO REDUCE LAG <-- as the dmg on a zDPS means nothing.
Build Guide
Pull all the mobs to an open and dense area (A reverse corner, or an area where twisters get stuck if playing with a Tal Rasha's wiz) with Ancient Spear to create even more density. Work together with the other supports while pulling.
Use Furious Charge to stun the enemies pulled and activate the mitigation from Band of Might (cube).
Use Threatening Shout - Falter on the pull to increase the dmg received by the mobs.
Use Bash - Onslaugh on elites and rift guardians, and on normal mobs when you have time to grant 10% crit to the wizard.
Use Ignore Pain and War cry on CD always CHECKING THAT YOUR TEAMMATES ARE NEARBY to benefit from their effects.
Help the Demon Hunter(If any) pulling mobs that are far away with your Ancient Spear, but do not forget to apply Ignore Pain 100% uptime on the dps specially.
F . A . Q
Q: Why diamond in weapon? We're zDPS, we do Zero DPS.
A: Any gem on weapon for a support is nearly useless, but 20% more dmg on elites also works with conduit shrines, and with conduit also zDPS do dmg!
