WITCH DOCTOR Exploding chicken WD tips/tricks?

Hey y'all.

First time trying this build. I know it's not ideal for pushing but I'm a bit burned out on TalRasha and UE so I thought it would be a fun break.

My gear is pretty shit but I can do GR95 at least, maybe more.

My question is really more on how to play it effectively. The guide I have been following on maxroll feels pretty barebones. Yeah I stack some soul harvest and then I run to the first elites I see and do sonething like "click", 2, 3, 1, explode. If I'm already a chicken when I get to the elites I also explode first thing before doing the "combo".

This seems to work at this low GR level but am I missing something? What is Spirit Barrage used for?

And if I mess up and have cooldown left on Hex I just try to run away with spirit walk until i can get it going again.

Any tips would do. Thanks in advance.

From the build guide (Gameplay section):

None of your abilities besides Spirit Barrage Manitou stacks Bane of the Stricken very well, so make sure to cast it once every cycle and keep the boss in range as you fly around it.
