Build creation competition

I've noticed a new change in Icy Veins to where it recharges in only 5 seconds now. So I was wondering if there could be a spike build made out of it? And that's what your going to show me.

Overview

The build most show all toons with their skill bar, armor, runes & attributes, one/two-handed weapons with or without an offhand. The build must be tried out in HA before you post it in the competition and you MUST screen shot it at the farthest place you got to (this will not affect your chance to win the competition).
The build can be whatever you design (does not have to be like my example build). You can make it on a build hosting site or write it down on the forum.

Whoever wins I am going to put on GWShack.

There is NO reward ... sorry I'm too poor, just the happiness of helping out the guru community with a new build =P

Example

This is my example build.

6*Icy Veins does 480 damage. Most characters have up to 600 health. I don't think you'll kill anything with 6 Icy Veins.

at 16 soul it does 95, which is a somewhat decent spike if you give all the spikers vamp gaze for afterspike. I don't know why you'd want this over something like FoC though. If the side effect would stack, I could understand but if the spike target dies, nearby foes are struck for 98 dmg, not 6*98 dmg so it's not an AoE spike.

FoC costs 3 times as much energy, recharges 4 times slower and activates twice as slow, so I think there is a little difference.

Yea since the update FoC is pretty useless as a spike unless you have good energy management with quickening zephyr or something ...

I met this yesterday in HA, they were just short on dmg to kill me in a single shot.

After my first death they did have enough and I got killed several times more. This was after half an hour of fighting btw.

Did they have after-spike skills or just Icy Veins?
