What do you all think? Would this build work?

Rt/N

16 Channeling
12 Spawning
Rest in Blood

Skills:

Destruction
Gaze from Beyond
Spirit Boon Strike
Essence Strike
Spirit Burn
Pain
Vampiric Gaze
Flesh of My Flesh

First cast Destruction to get a spirit
-Gaze from Beyond for 120+ damage
-Spirit Boon Strike for 80+ damage and replenish spirits health taken from Gaze
-Essence Strike for 41+ damage and 6+ energy
-Spirit burn for 58+ damage
-Pain for damage and to have another spirit available
-Vampiric gaze for damage + health
-Flesh of my Flesh for Rez

All of the skills are either 5 or 10 energy to use and most cast in 1 second.

Do you think this build would be of any use? I only PvE.

One thing you should know is that Pain is a Communing Magic Binding Ritual. Well, I'm PRETTY sure it is. Anyways, Pain would be as effective with no Communing Magic. Seems like a nice build, but I'm not sure if Blood Magic is necessary. Putting the points into Restoration Magic seems like a better idea.

It's more to have another spirit skill available for all the other skills to feed off of.

I never really looked into restoration much, but I like that Vampiric Gaze will do damage as well as heal.

I've been playing around with this build and I like it. I just don't know if it's too weak or if it can be made better.
