N/ME, is this skill setup gonna work?

hi guys,

i am now making an N/ME and i am planning to use the following skill setup, but could you tell me if it is a nice setup

1 Life Siphon
2 Life Transfer
3 Well of blood
4 Death Nova
5 Putrid explosion
6 Vampiric Gaze
7 Arcane Echo
8 Conjure phantasm

Wrong board to put it in really.

As for the skill set...death nova definately seems out of place, no use for it there really. Putrid explosion is nice and all but isn't easy to control and is pretty body-count dependant. I'd swap 'em out for some more hexes or something of the sort. Should work for PvE though.
