Also it draws insane aggro, many use the dooming version to keep a mob snared without drawing as much heat onto the necro.

Good info, I'd like to comment on the darkness line though
The reason I stopped with dooming darkness is because that is the first snare line that will slow mobs down to walking speed
The darkness line does good damage, however it has a pretty bad mana/damage ratio and you will start having issues with the casting time not to mention high mana fizzles etc.
I literally used dooming darkness from 29 through planes of power without ever using an upgrade more then once or twice for testing, there are other dots more suited for damage etc.
Basically, the darkness line is used to snare and nothing else, you want it to be as cheap/reliable/fast casting as possible
