Griev
Get a bone spiral rod crafted from Sheco in Bukdek Byway. It grants 5 energy while health is above 50 and 20% recharge on death.

If you have atleast 11 Soul Reaping and you have Energy trobule, you are doing something wrong.
The best MM Weapon, IMO, is Ghial's Staff. That does everything.
Also, the Wand Griev mentioned has 20% Cast Time, not Recharge.

As a MM you'll probably want Scars (or the respective +energy Canthan armor), either a +5>50 wand, +5e sword/axe, or at very least just a +10 staff with an insightful head and then the mods of your choice. For an offhand just use a max energy one with the mods of your choice.
For energy management you'll be relying largely on Soul Reaping, 8 or 9 is a good number to have in it, since whenever one of your minions dies, you'll get energy... and whenever something dies to make a minion... you'll also get energy. Basically... Soul Reaping owns.
You can use whatever armor combo you really want, but for the highest possible that is still practical just use full Scars/energy armor, +5e weapon with a +12e offhand. Easier version of that is just a +10 staff with a +5e head.

Wouldn't that burn up more energy?

You shouldn't be using Fire Magic. Period. Your minions deal enough damage.
16 Death, 13 Soul Reaping. A Happy Minion Master.

Idk guys i have found a ton of sucess in my Fire Minion Master (the build can deal the most damage i have ever seen). The only problem is energy.
Big Monster ~vs~ 10 Minions and a hale of firey death

Believe me, Fire Storm does nothing against Shiro'ken.
Opeth11
You can't have that same combo and still maintain good energy. You would need perhaps a skill like Offering of Blood to replenish some energy instead. That removes an elite slot on your bar though.

A quich change of gears, i'm about to get 15K Luxon armour, and i have 2 black dyes, does it look good on it or should i go silver to save some money?
Opeth11
That glyph doesn't help that much because of its one-time use, basically.

ele primary MM could work with some tweaking..will give me something to do

Anyway... A MM with 10 fiends up will outdamage any fire storm. Also, if you took your points out of fire and put them in Soul Reaping you'd get energy each time one of them died. That's more than enough energy to keep you going/animating.
I run a pretty old school build for MM in AB and it works very well.
16 Death
9 Blood
9 Soul Reaping
7 Healing
Offering of Blood {E}
Dark Bond
Heal Area
Blood of the Master
Animate Horror
Animate Fiend
Verata's Sacrafice
Verata's Aura
I don't use Flesh Golem because I like the energy from Offering of Blood. I use a 20/20 wand and 20/20 offhand with bloodstained boots and +energy armor. It works for me.
If you're looking for a Flesh Golem build there are quite a few out there and a peak at the Necromancer forums will help.
Good luck.
EDIT: If you're hell bent on maxing damage (at the expense of self-protection/energy managment) drop the blood attribute and put the points in curses. Then add something like Mark of Pain or Barbs. 6-8 minions hitting a target/mob w/ MoP or Barbs adds up to a lot of damage really fast.
