Hmm, I’m having a hard time understanding the purpose of this build. Is this meant for small groups/roaming? If so, the wells seem out of place since they’re quite easy to avoid in those kinds on engagements. I dislike power based builds in general for small scale roaming since they usually either have good damage or good survival, not both. While your armor and HP seem high, remember we get no blocks/invulns/evades/stealth/leaps/teleports, making us quite the sitting duck. And since you’re not running axe and/or Vital Persistence(slower life force degeneration) your DS defense isn’t even that good and not that easy to regenerate, making it good for absorbing 1 or 2 bursts before giving in.

For large fights, you seem very tanky with high armor and food and whatnot, but your survival on the frontline isn’t very good since you lack the best source of stability necros have(foot in the grave) and we don’t get any invulns/blocks/leaps to maintain good frontline positioning. If you are frontlining after all, ground placed wells might as well be wasted. Also, well of corruption is pretty much one of the strongest skills in the game, not running it seems like a waste. Also, in large groups dagger/warhorn is not a very good weapon combo.
Unblockable marks are a bit of a waste, except Putrid Mark(#4 skill) most of them are rather weak on a power build and you WANT the enemies to trip marks to strip aegis or waste dodges. Stripping aegis from 5 guys is much better than 3 seconds of bleed with no condi damage.
Daze on warhorn, as well, is overrated. It’s long, sure, but countered entirely by stability which the other frontliners WILL have up most of the time. And dagger has no cleave, which sucks.
Well of darkness by itself is nice, but if you plan on running that most of the time taking Chilling Darkness(chill on blind) makes it a lot more powerful.

Also, the healing well is an awful, awful skill imo and should almost never be used.
