Malachai's Simula

I want to make a build around Malachai's Simula.



It just looks so interesting, and the concept of +49% to lightning damage from a helm is just insane, not to mention free access to blood magic. The double mana cost with blood magic is scary, but the Templar starts with easy access to tons of health and regen through the Templar and Marauder starting areas.

What would be a good starting concept? Dual spork totems? Arc + spork totem? Lightning Strike?
