Don't think an actual guide was made for it....but there have been other mentions....as for info about it...
Weaknesses:
Act Bosses
Small Groups of enemies
Last enemy of a group
AI curses are 1/4th duration in hell
Strengths:
Dealing with Swarms
This is actually a very commmon split of necromancer strength/weaknesses (only a few get Act Bosses and Smalll Groups on their strengths list...although it's more common to see "last enemy in group" in strengths)
Attract and Confuse don't effect:
Bosses, Superuniques, champions, possessed(no curse effects them), fanatics, etc.
Iron Maiden is weak vs. ranged enemies, but confuse will handle most of them except unique ones (IE DeSeis)
Confuse would be your best bet vs. small groups with a superunique (won't effect superunique, but your confused monsters may hit the enemy, just hope they win)
Confuse then Iron Maiden I think works (not necessarily stack....more like they just finish their current AI segment then switch back to normal)
Same with Attract and Iron Maiden.
Note:
You may want to invest in bone spirit or spear before Poison Nova (poison nova is notorious for being weak vs. what your main weaknesses are, but strong vs. what is already innately this build's power function)
---------------
The main thing you need to think about:
How will you kill Duriel, Mephisto, Diablo, the Ancients, or Baal with so few minions/attack skills?
The rest of them are just practice to get them to work effectively, and a lot of patience (if this in HC, you will need a LOT of patience or a LOT of luck)

One who knows the enemy and knows himself will not be in danger in a hundred battles.
One who does not know the enemy but knows himself will sometimes win, sometimes lose.
One who does not know the enemy and does not know himself will be in danger in every battle.
