I typically always used spook for undead, and boots for the live mobs. I would also use dooming to lead depending on positioning and how slow I needed the mob to be. But once at around 50% engulfing was always plenty slow to finish the job. As demonstrated in this thread, the epic is extremely good at mitigating damage due to the life tap proc. I would usually proc epic then switch to great spear of dawn and go back and forth balancing tanking and fear kiting.

Yeah this basically what I do as well. The main difference is I probably use Dooming less. I use it for the first mob I kill on ramp sometimes since I have less runway, but I mostly just use gloves. Also I don't have a great spear for swap.

If you are killing the mobs on the North ramp, usually engulfing darkness is good enough, even above 50%:

But I'd certainly use Dooming in other areas if the runway is too small.
