Personally, I'd use this sort of skill set-up for traps:

Bear Trap x3 + Added Fire Damage
Fire Trap + Temporal Chains + Increased AOE + Faster Casting
Conversion Trap + Increased Duration - Hatred + Reduced Mana
Ice Spear + Spell Totem + Faster Cast + L/GMP (+ Crit Damage + Cold Pen)
Raise Spectre + L/GMP + Faster Attack/Cast + Minion Damage

This set-up would let you slow down mobs with Ice Spears while you set-up traps for massive damage.

Fire Trap and Ice Spears would be your main AOEs. Spectres would act as sustained DPS.

Conversion Trap, Temporal Chains, IS Totem, and Spectres act as 4 defensive walls.

If against a single tough enemy, unslot L/GMP from the spell totem once the mobs are dead and use the traps and totems to nuke everything.

Problem with using multiple bear traps is that you dont get more maximum number of traps. So you can with passives from skilltree have a maximum of 4 traps up at the same time. This for me makes the full on traps character bad.

I havent tried to use for instance firetrap and bear trap at the same time. So i dont know if you can have 4bear trap and 4 fire trap at the same time. But limit to Bear traps alone makes full trap build unviable, and thats a shame ;(
