I have one in Hardcore on USEast. He's only level 35 in Act V Normal - but has been fun so far.
I looked at the Overlord guide by Poisontrooper on DII.net. He, too, says the build is viable.
Though he advises a Prayer merc, I'm going to go with Thorns. I'd found a discussion of the merits of the merc types over in the AB forums.
It may not be optimal, but I'm perverse. I'm looking forward to eventually having wayyyy too many skeletons.
I intend to have one point in revive and in each golem and use them situationally. Everyone says that since revives time out, it's some effort to keep a number of them going. From what I've seen so far, I think everyone is right.
If I ever get to a place where I have spare points (ha!), I'll work on one of the other trees as a hobby. Maybe I can be a Pure Curse Necro just like Elric - only surrounded by sixty skeletons. ;)

(This all started because I cubed a Golemlord's amulet.)
(With my luck, Bliz will nerf Paladins, Assassins and Necros in 1.10.)
