like the guy above me its all about material farming speed. I kill just champions or elite packs, open all chests and kill any goblins I might see. I pick up a a mostly full inventory of blues and yellows for mats after each run. Close immediately after rg to speed up key farming process
Sadly it only applies to the character you do your first completion of the objectives on per season. So you did it on WD this season and that means any new character you create won't be able to get a haedrig's gift...until next season
Rayaleith something you can try for added survival is timing the use of your spirit walk as during its use you are immune to all damage and effects. With how I play helltooth, this season I'm doing gr60 solo while maintaining spirit walk at least 70% of the time. Popping it during moments where damage should spike and having it fall off just before mobs die alllws the grave injustice passive to reset the CD nearly immediately on spirit walk
No the current concept of zdps is going to be dead and thankfully buried. On top of the +dmg that zsaders zmonks and zwd bring, the biggest aspect of them in high end gr was to stun, fear, and blind all enemies permanently so that the two DD only had to focus gear stats to damage. That is the meta of zdps, and it will completely change. Support based playstyle will still exist, they haven't hinted at or begun nerfing of that on ptr. With the upto 95% cc prevention mobs get in 2.3 you won't be able to lock down even trash mobs for the extended period you can now.
Pulling, buffing will still totally exist. I also have a feeling that the current changes to DD specs may cause the ideal group to be 4 full DD who each in one way or another offer support (dels wiz or non dart pet Dr as examples). Already on ptr we have seen unoptimized NEW builds that are easily able to crush 55+ . On top of that we have changes to mobs dmg and health.
As you said I do feel that if a zdps of sorts is to be viable on live, an ep monk is most likely. Something along the lines of quins t10 goku monk.

I've heard AD can cause this lag as well as high density. Would be nice of blizz to fix this issue and not just the console lag
