Sire of Shards - Best ways to use it?

ok, first off, your ALL using Sire of Shards wrong. The links on it DO NOT MATTER. I think it was Chris or Mark that said it, but all the support gems in the staff support the ice skill, so a 6 socket is an effective 7 link.
Sure, the lab can be hard, but it's pretty easy if you're properly geared, and not terrible at the game.

That is Whispering Ice. Sire of Shards is this http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Sire_of_Shards

It adds 4 projectiles to a skill and fires them in a nova.
oh, woops! never mind, I'm retarded.

Best way to use this staff is to sell it to someone who has no idea it's useless yet. Or use Spectres with it :D

Sire of shards works extremely well with the new revenant spectres. I used it from Merciless act 1 immediately after killing Malachai all the way until the mid-80s, when I switched to a more support oriented build. The additional projectiles almost double your DPS, and all you need is a 4 link. The clear speed is ridiculous; I was well over 100m exp/hr at one point grinding Dried Lake.

I think Traps should be amazing with it (I really dislike the playstyle of novas).
I had a CI build planned for Warbands using Magma Orb - Trap - Multitrap - Fire Pen- Trap&Mine Damage in a 5L Sire with 4L Shock Nova Trap for extra damage. Then I started leveling with Fire Trap + Flamesurge. I never had so much fun in PoE, so maybe someone else will do the Magma Trap thingy. because seriously, that shit sounds like Vaal Fireball on steroids.
