Usage

Cast Tainted Flesh and Death Nova on you and your pet and let the Vermins tear you apart. The degen should kill them.
Go back the corpse of the Vermin and create 4-6 Bone Minions.
Find another mob and set up EoE where the Vermin can't kill it.
Cast Death Nova on all your minions and Tainted Flesh on your pet.
Order your minions/pet to fight with the Vermin. Wait for their health to drop to about 50% before activating Taste of Death which will trigger a chain explosion - killing all vermin.
IMPORTANT : Make sure you die before your pet but also make sure your pet dies before you are respawned. If you don't do this, the Vermin corpses will vanish before you can get to them.

 

Counters

Vermin shadow stepping away from minions.
Vermin killing EoE.
Also, it's very tough to reach the corpses of the vermin before they dissapear. This renders the build nearly useless. an alternative is that you can take run as one instead of comfort animal, but even then, usually the corpses dissapear right before you get there.
