would not a bone necro be viable as well?
I never had the chance to go against him, but a bone necro has the advantage of a VERY powerful bone prison/wall of his own, and also deals a decent amount of magic damage (with affordable items you can gave a spirit doing 3k per shot; if you invest some time and money to make a WHITE runeword you can pull that off with spear, having your spirit reach 4k with a good base wand).
I really wish I could try this one out, I'd love to see my friend's 90% resall 95% lightning bone necro face him and see if the regen could be countered. When we play the game normally he never EVER dies of anything (and hardy dies in PVP). Using bone wall/prison proved VERY effective against nearly every monster in the game, including Diablo himself.
