Choose Spectral Mastery, your Lich Form will have 50% longer duration, Cd decreased by 36s and provide 5% life force.

Why Pack Rune? Strength is much better.

Signet of Locust is ok in solo PvE, but in Dungeon you get swiftness from your party and so the signet is rather useless. Take Blood is Power.
