Voodoo Doll Spec Discussion

[Spaghettimonster]

I'm not even going to consider the Doll a Damage piece. It looks to me like a completely Crowd Control and Healing weapon. That being said, here is what I'm thinking about how to use points, feel free to critique this and make fun of it. LoL

(3/5) Attune. (3 seems like the minimum)
(1/5) Poke. (Cheap and It will actually let you level the Skill!)
(0/5) Swarm. (Too expensive, if you wanna do Damage buy a Staff!)
(5/5) Heal. (Bread'n'Butter)
(0/5) Curse. (Might be nice if your Staff spells get the damage boost.)
(0/5) Scorch. (It looks flashy and pretty and sounds cool, but it's junk.)
(1/5) Cure. (This seems like a last resort big heal for when you're in a tight spot I might put more in it eventually)
(5/5) Grave Shackles. (Crowd Control, Need I say more?)
(5/5) Life Drain. (This is how you heal yourself. FTW)
--Passive Effects--
(0/5) Focus. (40 Voodoo isn't that much, when you get Concentration in Staff Skill this becomes Obsolete.)
(5/5) Spirit Ward. (A Must for PvP, and probably PvE at some point.)
(25/25) Total

This game doesn't seem very DOT friendly. The poisons for the Dagger and the Wound for the Cutlass seem pretty weak. As far as I've used Scorch so far, even with Curse it doesn't do much.

What do you guys think?

I have no idea if the Curse damage bonus applies for Staff Spells, If so that would be pretty overpowered and one might opt for insane magic dps using that.
