This combat routine is based on this Build:- http://www.diablofans.com/builds/91398-rathma-faceroll-summoner-gr100-new-video-gr100
I stuck with Bane of the Trapped, and I have about 20% Cooldown Reduction. Increased Attack Speed is upto 1.61 sheet weapon speed. This is my season 11 setup so far anyway. If you're using Haunted Visions, you might want to disable the collection of Health Globes in Trinity General Settings, otherwise you might backtrack chasing globes from miles away
Will clear GR 85 in season in under 10 minutes with that setup, a couple of Augments, and all Ancients. Some rifts are just plain bad, and do not suit the routine, for example lightning throwers break the important range advantage. This combat routine is by far the best I've used with the Necromancer so far, for pushing Greater Rifts. With better rolls, Augments on everything, and a Primal or three, pushing GR 100+ has proven to be a breeze for some people already
I would definitely leave the Cluster Size at the default of 1, and set it to attack all Elites and Trash (one mob behind you can easily kill you). Also set Max Health on all Avoidances (it is most important to be taking the least amount of damage possible). The settings that I currently use are as follows:-
Cluster Size: 1
Emergency Health %: 40
Collecting Globes For Health: Enabled
Primary Resource %: 85
Mages to Quick Cast: 10
Minimum Range: 25
Maximum Range: 40
LotD Range: 40
Cast Simulacrum On Cooldown: Disabled
Ignore Range: Enabled
This routine now intelligently handles all Globe collection while in combat (this includes for Reapers Wraps), so it will only grab them if and when it's safe to do so, but still prioritizes them in a way that is most reasonable, and Trinity will now grab them again outside of combat (if you have it set to collect them in Trinity General settings). For Reapers Wraps this routine will also collect Health Globes outside of combat (just to keep you topped up). It also moves less by trying to just barely move into minimum globe pickup range, this has speed things up significantly. Included now is an option to ignore range when Nephalem Rift Guardian is up (helps with Keystone pickup)
For T13 Nephalem Rifts speedruns (< 5 minutes) I recommend the build above with the following changes: wear Goldwrap instead of The Witching Hour, equip Boon of the Hoarder instead of Esoteric Alteration, and make sure you have a pet out. If survivability is not a problem, I now set Cluster Size to 6 while running T13 Nephalem Rifts Oh, and I also recommend running the Nephalem Rift profile until you have heaps of Keystones, and then swapping the build accordingly and running the Greater Rift profile to use up the Keystones you collected earlier 
Anyway, let me know what you think, it's free
And thanks heaps community for all your help And to all those that helped test, you know who you are

I was actually messing around with that build before the second quick patch.
