Build of the week (S2E5): 3-dragons incinerate
http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/856154
Here is a little update about my take, as I finally managed to get my hands on a 6L CoD. I respecced one of my old character and now it's lvl76.

My gem setup:
Incinerate - Faster Casting - Spell Echo - Added Lightning dmg - Mana Leech - Fire penetration (so nothing new)

CWDT(lvl5) - Immortal Call(lvl7) - Molten Shell(lvl12) - Increased Duration. When I will have more HP, I may let it move a little higher, but now it's safe.

Flame Totem - Chaos Golem - Minion Life - Minion resist.
Even though Incinerate technically a ranged skill, its radius is so short that you are practically in melee range to most enemies while the range attackers are usually are out of my range. So I needed one additional dmg source (the totem) and beside that I chose the Chaos Golem as it is both a decoy and it gives a small phys dmg mitigation as well.

Tempest Shield - Arctic Armour - Increased Duration - Reduced Mana.
A little modified defence setup than the original was.

Herald of Thunder - Curse on Hit - Elemental Weakness.
It was in the Doryani scepter, until I realized, that this way it reserves 35% mana instead of 25% and moved it into the shield. I always prefer auto curse, because in this way I can't forget to apply it in the heat of a battle :) HoT lightning dmg is a good pair to the Tempest Shield as well.

Clarity - Vaal Grace - Vaal Summon Skeletons.
The last resort for boss fights and opening boxes. Defense boost and additional targets to any enemy.

I skipped the Lightning Warp trio, as I don't really like it. It uses three slots to work properly and works well only towards the endgame, when its two support gems are levelled up. Plus you need a clear LoS to your destination - simply put not my cup of tea. I uses a 4L boot with +30% IMS and I'm fine with it.

With this setup (and with no quality on any gems) I have 13,5k tooltip at lvl76. have a little low HP (3k), but I can do 3-4 level lower maps and have levels ahead of me to allocate points to HP nodes.

The passive tree at lvl76:
