Sidhebreath NecklaceI, personally don't use it, its AWESOME till you get the totem passives, then, you can use whatever you prefer. I use Astramentis (http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Astramentis)

Doedre's Damning
Without this you won't be able to cast 4 curses. Although 4 curses might seem like a total overkill, its really all about maximizing your dps.

Guide
Its a pretty straight foward build but here are a few tips.- If you have a good party, focus on auras
- Second Spell Totem:
Can be replaced by = Rejuvenation Totem + Conversion Trap
Frost Wall is awesome with faster casting + Increased duration, the totem will surround you with a protective icy shield, this will keep you SO safe from projectiles that you can only believe it once you've seen it (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlJlNdnK2_E)
Note: Your's Is Even Better
- The 4 curses, added to your auras, transform you into a huge debuffer! I use anger + flammability for no reason at all, the extra burning damage aint really that high, I wouldn't recommend hatred tough, cause frozen enemies leave no bodies.
- Alphas howl is the only MUST MUST MUST MUST have unique in this build.
- Don't worry about survivability, you'll be mostly away from the battles with a HUGE swarm of minions, walls and totens, so no chaos damage will get to you, stills, if you have the chance, use Zahndethus Cassock, its a total overkill, BUT, play safe =)

- People will literaly pay you and kill to have you in their parties, just don't annoy anyone with your frost walls
- You won't need a SINGLE flask to sustain this build, but if you're really going to play safe, get that set, note that the life flask should have instant effect.
