A passive I see... Now that I think about it, that actually sounds like it would work well. His ghouls aren't that great for chasing, but they excel at dueling. The only threat would be getting hammed with all the sustain built. Though, you can't get hammed cause ghouls are slapping them across the face! Then you laugh with all your damage resistance cause the ghouls are out. Eventually, the sustain from should cover pressure because of the mana sustain and the  should cover chasing.

This seems a bit reliant on the enemy ignoring your ghouls. I don't think people generally focus ghouls which is why this works. If the enemies somehow wipe out your ghouls -either through immobilization cc or just wiping them out with aoe/multi-targeted abilities- then I can see this being extremely risky. It's a good thing people don't think to focus those bastards! xD
