[theorycraft] lets play some bard

Did little research in oder to find something like this... And as I failed, decided to share my thoughts and ask for some advice:

Ideas:
-dont care about self dps
-maximise party usability

This last part need to be defined... So I define it as following...
perfect ballance between:
-auras
-crowd control
-curses

Long story short, I came up with this tree:


Idea:
base survivability on ES(while everyone focus on life it seems).
Spend life and mana for auras.
Use traps for crowd control. From my experience its enough to have deerstalkers with multitraps-elementalpro<something>-shocknova-snap.
Use EE for both traps and exposing enemies to elements your party use.
Curses prolly for bosses mainly. Im guessing that 3 are enough.

And ofcourse some mf+culling... Maybe on fire trap?(i know it doesnt work for burning ground, just initial explosion).

From items...
Deerstalkers for traps
shavronne wrappings for chaos dmg survival
prism guardian/spring leaf
alpha howl/leer cast
araku tiki

Please share your thoughts!


EDIT:
what about mortal conviction? If I understand right, each mana reserved will have multiplier(with both alpha and prism): 0.36(passives+items) * 0.6(mortal) * 0.71(reduced mana)
So if someone run 8 60% auras, total life reserved would be like 74%... Isnt it worth it? Can anyone correct me?
