VS Spike build
Shoitaan
Very notable differences between my build and the VSDA Bomb... the VSDS relies on DA to proc with health sacrificing skills and does very good AoE damage.
Mines more single target spike but will most likely have better health gain (and worse energy usage :/)
Basically, cast VS as enemies near (or you near enemies), run into the middle of the pack and vast channeling, then cast soul barbs on your favourite meat, throw on wastrels (quick health gain incase your getting the smack), cast shadowstrike - 150ish damage if their alone), vamp gaze, spam wastrels (not for wastrels proc but soulbarbs and VS proc - I have no points on domination for that reason.. its not about dmg from wastrels, its about VS).
Energy tap as required... and yes, this build burns through the energy quick :/
THis is the third revision for this build... the original can be found here:

The second revision was the same as the first only rez sig in place of protection, ether feast in place of Spirit of failure (which is now Channelling) and had Awaken the blood in place of soul barbs. This build still needs more work because it doesn't work quite aswell in 4vs4 RA (but that might not necessarily be my fault alone XD). WOrked out OK, but I was thinking maybe I could tweak it to get some more damage out of it...
Comments and criticism would be loved and appreciated, thank you.
and yes I do eventually need to stop being cheap and unlock better staff mods XD

Bwahaha, soul barbs + WW + VS. Evil. But does Channeling and E-Tap supplement the energy well? If you were to go in larger battles such as Alliance Battles or Aspenwood, maybe more soul reaping would reap more benefits (pun not intended).

Etap works enough in RA's to help me get 2-3 more wastrels off, which is painfull enough to people 
... channeling is alright in RA, GODLY in Alliance battles.. my Reaping is tiny.. I should unlock some better runes or something... I hardly see it make a difference (although Im' sure it plays its part in alliance battles)...
and that pun was intended and you know it XD

I use a sup Soul Reaping + Sup Blood.
I can see how your build might work, since I also use a Major Vigor and Revenant's to manage HP lost from runes.
Only issues I can see with the build is hex removal (Soul Barbs removed) and Enchantment strippers.
Energy might be an issue, but you have nice casting times there as well.

Energy might be an issue, but you have nice casting times there as well. Cast times are wonderful yeah, I used major blood (dont have sup blood, my fault) minor soul and major vigor, I use 2 pieces of revenant and the rest is scar. Or is it 1 revenant and the rest is scar?... yeah I think its revenant pants and the rest is scar.
Hex removal doesnt bother me too much because I cast fast enough to get a few procs of wastrels off and godwilling if the timing is right the hex removal will strip wastrels not soul barbs.. but yes, the ONE time I encountered a mez shit shatter hex, I got destroyed :/
even with channeling up as a buffer enchant
