Epidemic is too short range generally for me to bother with, but I sometimes equip it on a E/Me hero for example; heroes seem to use it pretty well. Lately, especially in Hard Mode, I've been using the fevered archer setup - minimal (4) in Illusion, Fevered Dreams, Apply Poison, Pin Down, Throw Dirt, Screaming Shot, Concussion Shot. Spreads 7 pip degen, blind, cripple and daze, and seems to work well to take lots of pressure off. If it's melee mobs you start with cripple/blind to reduce stress, if it's mostly casters you can start by using the daze. Handy against fast casting bosses too, since you can instead hit a nearby caster with the daze, infecting the boss that way.
