I'd ditch the necro in favour of a trapsin... CoS works well enough, and you can use MB to pin champs for the barb to finish. You still have a semi-CE in DS. The advantage is you can be something like a DT/BF assassin and do some corpse making yourself.
To be honest though I don't think CoS/Blind is an optimal curse for dealing with things other than ranged attackers 1) it leaves attackers spread out which is bad for CE/DS, 2) IF you wait for them to mob the barb first, then you are not only higher risk, but it is likely that a number of blinded monsters will end up in attack range anyway.
(P.S. my bias towards mind blast is due to my HC tendancies, and my addiction to thorns mercs, confuse and attract don't help there (or with a might merc))
