Teeth is a good crowd killer when maxed along with synergy help (which you have). You will kill faster with teath than just spear or spirit due to it hitting multiple targets. I've seen several dentists that do quite well. Yeah, it doesn't kill as fast as other spells, but don't forget you have it since you have points in it for synergies anyway. Use all three of your bone spells situationally. Teeth in open areas, high monster density. Spear with "lined up" monsters (or single targets if it has higher damage than spirit), spirit on the single targets, or for limited (it tracks rather poorly now) tracking use.
Bone prison is hugely effective as a tank, you just need to learn to use it. It can pretty much keep everything away from you. Since it is a synergy, use it.
Decrepify is a very nice curse, as it helps your merc deal out some more damage and helps keep them alive longer (though with prison that isn't as helpful). It does help buy time though as boss packs and LE's can take down a prison pretty fast.
Depending on how you are dealing with magic/fire or magic/physical immunues (usually with merc gear), lower resist can help a fair bit to get your merc dealing enough damage, or to help the fire component of CE. Most physical immunes can have the immunity knocked off with decrepify or Amp (if you have to since it is a prereq) though so you can deal with it that way to.
A one point fire golem is very helpful for grouping the monsters as well. Sure it takes 6 to get him but you should have at least one or 2 plus all necro skills I would imagine. He stays up pretty well for a low investment.
Most of this is taken from watching my wifes HC dentist have an easy time getting to L75.

It's all just zeroes and ones and duct tape in the end.
