Background

I've got lvl 90 echo'ing strike warlock with 20 points (inc +skills) in bind demon, blood oath, demon mastery.
I'm currently using a rogue merc with Mist bow (for the conc aura) and TZ Lister with might + cursed. The Warlock uses fortitude armor. non eth insight archon staff and spirit monarch.
I 99% play solo online, so everything dies super fast, even with the rest of his gear devoted to gold find.

I use consume for the faster run buff, but I was thinking I could give my rogue merc a harmony bow and then instead keep 2 defilers. I would gain the 2nd defiler's shared damage to 4 more mobs, but lose the conc aura and pierce on the merc.
Has anyone done testing of how much extra AoE damage a 2nd defiler achieves?
Since everything is dieing so quickly regardless. I think the extra run speed may well be the dominant factor.
Thoughts?
