Happy to help, and being active in build threads always helps me too to fine tune my characters.
Soo, I made some changes to my build. I realized that with just Shaper's Touch I would gain 2000 EHP, nothing else, just change to the gloves.
That, coupled with the fact that +1 gems corruption are really cheap on them and I just had to make the switch. Because Enlighten 5 enabled me to respec 4 points out of Sovereignty and invest them into more life. I also changed from Astramentis into my new Amulet.
And with some wiggling around I managed to stay above 1500 strength, meaning my army grew and I now have 17 Zombies.
Sitting at 9999 EHP, 7993 life and 2006 ES. And I am running Haste, Skitterbots, War Banner and Avian. And all that while keeping the huge DPS and speed buff from Saqawals Nest.
Now I have to test if the ES recharge is good enough or if I have to respec a 4% life node into ZO for ES regen. But I think with all monsters being Enfeebled and blinded all the time, I get hit so little that the recharge should kick in often enough and not get cancelled.
I think overall this is a VERY solid middle ground between the full defense version with both Shaper's Touch and Geofrys Sanctuary and my earlier full on clear speed version. Quite happy how it turned out.
With worse gear this is still a viable option imho, just aim for the 1200 str breakpoint instead.
My gear:
And the usual jewels, 2xEfficient Training, 15% str Lethal Pride, Brawn and a Ghastly with minion leech and blind.
Next goal is to get rid of Brawn while staying above 1500 str. It really is useless except to reach a Zombie breakpoint.
Shaper's Touch (ST) is indeed very strong - can't see dropping those.
The synergy between ST and Geofri's Sanctuary (GS) is also very strong - given that our DPS is already more than sufficient, whereas deep delving puts pressure on survivability, I much favor Geofri's over Nest.
I don't have Nest to test for certain, but it seems that you're likely dropping 1500+ ES by equipping Nest over GS.
Personally I'm equipping GS... if you disagree, build your case. I remain highly skeptical but willing to be convinced.

You say all mobs are Enfeebled, I suppose your 4th spectre is responsible for that ? It means you don't use Vulerability on hit on your Animated Gardian ?
no enfible mass curse for clear maps
curse from AG it single target curse for uber bosses
I guess it's not listed as one of the chest items, because of its base? (strength/dexterity)
and therefore would be hard to get the right colours.
it provides a good chunk of life to start.
but perhaps geofri's sanctuary becomes better after you get to leech from your zombies and have enough strength.
that would be +1000 es vs 600 life provided by the belly of the beast.
I would have leech and flasks for life, and regen for es
edit: just noticed that the author has added it to the list.
