Attributes:
12 Death
12 Soul Reaping
Remaining 3 points in whatever
Skills:
- Icy Veins: Target foe is struck for 10...74 cold damage. For 10...30 seconds, if target foe dies all nearby foes are struck for 20...92 cold damage.
- Malign Intervention: For 5...17 seconds, target foe receives 20% less benefit from healing. If target foe dies while hexed with Malign Intervention, a level 1..14 masterless bone horror is summoned and that foe's corpse is exploited.
- Verata's Gaze: If target hostile animated undead has a master, its bond to its master is broken, making it hostile to all other creatures. If it had no master, you become its master. (50% failure chance with Death Magic 4 or less.)
- Death Nova: For 30 seconds, if target ally dies, all adjacent foes take 26...85 damage and are Poisoned for 15 seconds.
- Taste of Death: Steal up to 100...340 Health from target animated undead ally.
- Vile Miasma: Target foe is struck for 10..54 cold damage. If suffering from a Condition, that foe is hexed with Vile Miasma and suffers -1..3 Health degeneration for 10 seconds.
- Rising Bile: For 30 seconds, this Hex does nothing. When Rising Bile ends, that foe and all foes in the area take 1...3 damage for each second Rising Bile was in effect.
- Rez sig
Mechanics:
Choose your target, cast Rising Bile, Malign, cover with Icy Veins. Keeps casting Icy and Miasma till said target is dead.
When the Bone Horror shows up, BEFORE using Verata's Gaze, cast Bile and Icy Veins (latter is your priority, depending on how "fresh" the summon is). NOW use Gaze, followed by Death Nova. And here you got quite a nasty walking bomb.
Taste of Death when suited.
New target priority: a foe who got cought in the Nova's effect (i.e. poisoned). Start with Vile Miasma (extra degen) followed by Rising Bile, Maligned Intervention and Icy Veins...
Ad vitam eternam...
What say you?

Sounds like fun. It's always nice to see nonstandard builds like this, especially for attribute lines that have only 1 generally accepted build style to them.
Oh, and for you people who might think that putting Rising Bile and Icy Veins on a minion before taking control of it wouldn't work... It does. If Rising Bile wears off while the creature is still alive, it will deal its damage to all of your foes in the area of the creature, even if the creature itself isn't your foe.
Incidentally, a while back I posted a guide about a Deathnuking build using many of these same skills... Even if you don't get minions from it, Rising Bile with Icy Veins works wonders.

Oy my apologies if there is any plagiarism in there, really unintended.
BTW I've even done a few Raisu Palace (explorable) runs with that, pretty cool.
