Try Profane Bloom instead of Withering Presence if you want more clearing, but less damage.
For Profane Bloom you should use Despair, maybe with Sniper's Mark as well with Whispers of Doom.
And Despair better be on hit rather than casted manually, from Ring or Gloves corrupt.

For merc just regular support merc with some auras, Kaom's Binding, Leer Cast, etc.

UPGRADES:
- Better wand:
1. Ideally you start with Fractured Critical Strike Chance.
2. Then you either do Prefixes or Suffixes first.
3. For prefixes, spam Woe Essence (Spell Damage), until you you hit high Mana. 
3.1. Then lock prefix, veiled chaos hoping for prefix to unveil chaos pen.
3.2. Then lock prefix reforge crit for guaranteed crit multi hoping that suffixes won't fill.
3.3. Craft attack speed.
4. For suffixes, spam Zeal Essence (Attack Speed), until you hit Crit Multi.
4.1. Then lock suffix, veiled chaos. Unveil chaos pen.
4.2. Craft spell damage.
Crafting from suffixes is cheaper, but you will endup with 5 good mod wand rather than 6 with prefix craft first.
- All around better Armor and Shield with more ES, Mana, Int and Resists.
- Rare Ring and Belt with more Resists, required Str/Dex, more ES and Mana.
- Shav's Ring with good corrupt like %All Resists, or atleast good roll with Mana Quality.
- Amulet with good roll and Attack or Phys/Chaos catalysts.
- Helmet with 21% roll.
- Flasks obviously, you can farm aura without flasks, but better use them lol
- Can change tree to fit more Cluster Jewels if you get more damage, some Watcher's Eye.
