First pathing route is Potent Incantation. Then Lingering Horror - Spiral Into Insanity - Void - Roil -Zone of Control - Spiral into Mania
*General Advice for Caster Gear Progression*
Look for +Levels to Spell Skills Gem at the Vendor. +Levels to Gems will provide flat damage. %increased Damage is important too but I would prioritise additional Levels to Gems over that. You can get +Levels to Spell Skills on Shields (Focus), Wands, Staffs and Amulets.
Additional Gem Levels will increase the base Mana Cost significantly. You might have to use Inspiration as a Support Gem. In my case I should have used Inspiration instead of Arcane Tempo for Doryani.
*Resistances*
For Act 1 you want Cold Resistance. In Act 2 you want Lightning Resistance for the final Act 2 Boss. If you do the Elemental Offering (Act 2, Buried Shrines) you can choose a Topaz/Ruby/Sapphire Ring. Vendors can also sell Resistance Rings. If you do not have enough Resistance Rings I would consider gambling for one at the Vendor (Risu at Act 2, Alva at Act 3) if you have sufficient Gold. The Act 3 Boss will cause all 3 Elemental Damage types. You can socket Glacial/Desert/Storm to get 12% Cold/Fire/Lightning Resistance.

Patch 0.1
Build is severely nerfed in Patch 0.2
*Final Gems*
Skeletal Arsonists - Scattershot - Fire Infusion - Feeding Frenzy
Raging Spirit - Splinter - Demolisher - Martial Tempo
Pain Offering - Ablation - Persistence - Font of Rage
Flame Wall - Fortress - Arcane Tempo
Flammability - Heightened Curse - Inspiration
Skeletal Cleric - Meat Shield - Minion Mastery - Last Gasp
Summon Infernal Hound - Magnified Effect - Fire Exposure - Strip Away - Fire Mastery
Shield Charge - Ingenuity
Grim Feast
Last Gasp goes on Raging Spirit before you have Clerics and you can get Elemental Army on the Infernal Hound before you have Exposure gems.
You can remove these after switching to Minions
Contagion - Unleash
Essence Drain - Controlled Destruction - Swift Affliction
I would switch from Chaos Spells to Minions in Act 2. I dropped the Chaos Witch Setup once I had + Minion Level on my Sceptre and Helmet.
*Minions Gear Progression*
Look for +Minion Skills Gems on Helmet and Sceptre at the vendor. The helmet mod is uncommon. +Minion Skills on Helmets start to show up at Item Lvl 5 or higher.
Its important to start looking for +1 Minion on Helmet early on. The vendor will refresh part of his inventory every time you level up. As the Item Level of a helmet goes higher it becomes more unlikely to get a +1 Minion Helmet due to more modifiers being added to the pool.
For Sceptre +2 shows up at Itemlevel 18, +3 at 36. Preferably go for a Rattling Sceptre. Spirit can roll on Sceptres, Amulets and Body Armour. For your Shield %increased Chance to Block is a great affix. Additional Levels to Minion Skills can also roll on an amulet but its very unlikely that you will get such jewellery in the campaign or early mapping.
