I was fairly underwhelmed by the z-heart. It's certainly not bad, but considering that it's as expensive than a tstaff/fungi/cof combo pack it's hardly a game changer. On the other hand, the holgresh beads were amazing both for pulls and tapping back HP, and the effect is easily replicable with a 100p bag of stalking probes.
My necro is 52 right now and he's really starting to miss the quest pants. The huge increase in NPC hitpoints that starts at L40 means fights take forever without haste, and it also makes it more likely that one of them will die with the other at 30-40% HP, and having to use a bunch of dots kills your efficiency even with Splurt.
I am not really playing him much at the moment (Necro is just kind of meh once you've played Enchanter) but if I do get back to him I mean to pick up a Staff of the Dreaded Gaze. Fear is an amazing leveling tool IMO, even indoors if you are careful. I regularly finished off undead frogs in Guk with snare/fear since I got tired of root breaking on me. You can also save a lot of damage by fearing at 30-50% or so depending on how much DPS your group has and how much they hate chasing mobs around, and it prevents cleric/shaman mobs from spamming their heals.

If you think your necro like you do your chanter, it's not gonna be fun. You should be having the most fun from low 50s to 60 on your necro. I don't think there's any faster leveling path than a necro once it gets to mid 50s except maybe swarm kiting with Bard. And if you choose to group necro can do so much stuff, you shouldn't really be getting bored.
