I have yet to test it out on the higher difficulties. So was hoping someone had any input or experience with similar builds - will it be viable for grifts 50+? 60+? 70+? Or maybe better for T10 farm?
If it doesn't use a 6pc or F/R, you can pretty much guarantee it won't be viable in the 60s, and probably not in the 50s either. Mob health requires a certain level of DPS, and you're not going to get it without those huge damage boosts from 6pc bonuses. And since there's no possible way it's faster than the chicken builds, it's not viable for T10 farm either.
Edit: Side note, if you're really set on trying it, you will probably get more use out of SMK in your weapon slot, as the fetishes from the belt will be enough to keep BBV's CD down, and you can drop Horrify without sacrificing any of the core build.
My biggest issue with splashing 2Jade is that it really only gives you a single target dmg boost. WD have a lot of cool ways to do decent single target dmg, we lack AOE mostly. If 2Jade changed Haunt to a radius AOE (that debuffed and nuked in a small radius) I would imagine the build might have potential.
Personally I like the 6Helltooth 2/3Zuni build more for a weird split build. If you stack some items right (like that dagger that gives you extra fetishes) you can end up with some pretty silly defense. I could pretty much nap in anything less then Grift45.

I'm working on a build:
[S12] Hellhaunt WD [Poison]

Any input is appreciated.
