Minion/Totem Templar

So I was going to pick up PoE after a while of not being able to play and with all the new totem types that were introduced I was wondering wether it would be viable to play a summoner templar based on the usual zombies/skeletons+minion instability but also throwing in those new totems.

I was thinking of using either the spell totem with arc or the flame totem with added lightning damage - not sure in that regard yet. As I was only able to play around a little bit with them after aquiring them on my (now) legacy chars.

My current build Idea looks somewhat like this

In case of Flame totem I'd of course try to pick up searing flame and probably drop the three skills points for Storm cast in favor of some cast speed or life.
In the case of the Spell totem casting arc the usual combo of wand+energy shield seems the way to go.

In Terms of skill order I'd probably go for Totems first and get around as a mage and then make my way to Lord of the Dead and Minion instability, followed by the miscellaneous stuff

Now my question is of course, is that build viable ?
And are there any special tips or new unques I should be aware of ?

You can check out my build I posted here http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/62556


It uses zombies with a spark totem
