Not a fan of the grenades, dont see how it will work that well with being so close, not your best build, but its themed none the less (wont we all?), and i am sure i will try something similar to this at some point, so who knows,
I did the same for my beta play through, didnt have anything else very good drop, and there was a sweet shield that i was able to find that was the best upgrade at the time, sure it didnt increase my dmg that much, but it doubled my armor.
Here's the thing though, I think in some situations even in inferno, vault will do the job just nicely, specially if you have a bunch of hardcore slows in your build (which ill make sure to have atleast one good slow) I will agree that some situations will definitely favor smoke screen, but as of right now for just the lvling to 60 process i am pretty sure vault will just be a better / quicker / more enjoyable play experience for me.
It seems a bit redundant to have your main dmg dealer be a stand still spell, specially seeing as how you are focusing on hardcore, also you probably wont be needing that golden rune in electricute as you have no real huge need for arcane power unless you plan on standing still 24/7, id reccomend some other rune for electricute at the very least, or a different spell other than disentigrate to get the job done.
I have always been a fan of lightning / storms, ive read / looked through many lightning focused builds before, and felt they were lacking, this is my most thought out attempt. It has no huge arcane dump / need, and that is intentional,
I see this as more of a lightning cannon of sorts, obviously some areas it wont work out, and thats okay it can easily be switched around, but i like the idea of it, if i am surrounded, i will use diamond skin, and when it wears off 3 sec later, and if things are still alive wave of force which knocks them back, gives me space to keep my storm shield, hydra, and me spamming piercing orbs of lightning.
I love spells with cds, so i would always be teleporting to new packs if need be, also always maintaining the 25% dmg redux, with a decent crit rating i would be able to do wave of force diamond shield and teleport every 10 seconds or so, i see this having very good single target success, and solid aoe potential, and a mix of mobility / utility and survivabilty.
