The only reason I haven't gone full in life tree like you run, is having enough mana for Flesh and Stone. In PoB, blood stance gives me 150k more dps per zombie. I'm finding it hard to give up the mana reserve nodes. Maybe I can look for a pride mana reserve helm enchant. I wouldn't have thought Blood Stance would make that big of a difference, but judging from PoB its massive. I have mostly incorporated your tree, and close to 7k life, with 792k per zombie dps. Your varation works very well, thanks.
Just for the record Blood Stance is probably giving you zero DPS.
All Blood Stance does is Maim nearby enemies and those Maimed by Blood stance take extra physical damage.
The problem is Maim Debuffs do not stack. If you Zombies are running Maim (many are in 2 handed maces) then that Blood Stance is basically doing nothing since Zombies are overwriting your Blood Stance or tagging enemies outside of it (Blood stance has not got a large radius anyway).
PoB stacking them is actually a bug that people exploit to artificially inflate DPS numbers.
Honestly Sand Stance is probably better anyway.

Cleaned up the guide quite abit, deleted old non-relevant spoilers!
Added a tier list for go-to items!
Added a chaos convertion section! Chaos convertion is broken! ^^
Seems like alot of Soul tether / overleech discussions has been going on ._.
I like triad grip for chaos convertion, and uhm... If we drop elder belt for soultether we'd lose 700 flat life, 210 strength, and a zambie :C I don't like that for the energyshield overleech thingy.

Am I being stupid and have leveled to 96 wrong? Or do the Stances actually affect our Minions? Because they sure as hell should not from their wording. Or are you talking about the maim "bug" in pob where it double calculates maim?

I wasn't aware of that, good to know, guess that's what I get for always trusting PoB. If that's the case I can drop it for sure.

Not sure, on mine it does, 160k difference between blood/sand stance. But if its not right, I wont bother.

Yea thats a bug where two maim instances are stacked instead of one overwriting the other. Stances do fuck all for our minions.
EDIT: Oh wow, just noticed that OP is using stances in his original PoB. That explains why he has so much more DPS there than I do :D
