I'd be using it for the 40% increased damage, not the culling effect. And what do you think of the rest of the linked gems? Is this nothing or something?

I think you'll get better damage output from rapid decay with its more multiplier rather than the increased damage from culling strike, but that will depend on whether you have any other sources of %increased damage (which will decrease the relative benefit from culling strike), or %increased skill effect duration (which will mitigate the drawback of rapid decay).


I haven't tried remote mine personally. Do you have to wait longer after setting it, or does it take longer to throw than a plain old trap?

If that delay doesn't bother you then I think your setup provides the highest damage per trap. Do you know if trap and mine damage multiplier applies twice for your trap-mine?

The Trap and Mine support gems now have multiplicative damage bonuses that are specific to traps and mines respectively. This means that you can't cast a skill through a trap and a mine for double bonuses. In addition, Trap and Mine damage bonuses now do not benefit minions cast through traps or mines.
