orc -> hp regen
atronach mundus for mp regen, as the idea is to spam abilities to generate hp/ultimate for single-target sustain
down with the ice staff regime, embrace resto staff change... because it increases our self-heal and makes us a god
we lose a taunt and magicka block, but that only offloads blocking to stamina, which is good.
most meta builds dont even take the taunt, so who cares anyway

three abilities for ult gen, of which harvest is after a pull is dead. ill-advised to use drain on packs because of channelling, heroic strike is instant so it's easily weaved into aoe spam
drain is single-target spam, scythe is multi-target spam

hell if i know whether ravenous goliath or swarm scion is better, but the goliath form looks like crap, and swarm scion takes full advantage of lifesteal and pushes us towards using abilities rather than light/heavy spam... namely: drain.
