Baal-running build?

I haven't played an assassin since LoD first came out, and the ladder has renewed my interest enough to try one out. I've read a couple of the guides but with so little experience it's all greek to me, so I'm hoping someone can help me out. I want a build that'll allow me to do decently fast 8-player baal runs for people. I understand that almost every build has one immunity or two that they tend to go slow on or are unable to handle entirely, but what can an assassin go in order to be able to clear out most of Baal's minions and baal in a relatively short time?

kicker for baal
death sentry for the minions?

Trapper with Infinity Merc does it really quickly. Basic build would be:

Trapper:
Shako
Enigma
Hoto
Spirit
Trangs
War Travs
FCR ring
Goldwrap
+traps or MF ammy
Nagel

Merc:
Andy Visage
Fort
Infinity

Basically, you need enigma and 102 FCR to teleport there quickly, you'll have good damage between your +skills and the -85 res on the monsters. Infinity breaks most immunties, if it doesn't you have a huge physical/crushing blow hit from the merc and your fire blast. If the opponent is fire + light immune and unbreakable (happens with Lister sometimes), you can just spam him with MB while the merc kills him.

Remaining gear slots are devoted to MF gear, you could stack DR, + skills and/or resists to make yourself more powerful if you don't want MF.

Skills are max LS and synergies, 1 in every shadow skill but Venom, round out the build by adding to Shadow Master or Fade (if you choose to use it, though BoS is nice on a PvM trapper).

i'd go with
20 web
20 bolt sentry
20 LS
20 death sentry
1 shadow warrior and 1 BoS (5 pre reqs)
1 wake of fire
rest into wake of inferno

at lvl 91 with two +3 trap claws and decent gear your wake of inferno should do like 1400 dmg each which is enough to take out any light immunes

also with cheap +skills gear your claw block should get to 44 or so percent

Thanks for the input! Trapper it is.

I do believe Wake of Inferno is bugged like Inferno that it does 1/3 of listed damage or something.

Fire Blast is far superior in my opinion, its also a bonus for shots for Death Sentry I believe.
