This is also my go-to Circuit build. I don't cast his 4 when I run him in that, though. Honestly, I just use it because it has good survivability, support, and utility. I find Revenant to be extremely boring across the board, but he's undeniably good

Strategy
Simply start off by casting Mesmer Skin and then going straight into Danse Macabre. When you can, cast Roar. Roar somehow doesn't interrupt Danse Macabre. I don't know if that's because it replaced Reave or not since Reave can be cast while using Danse Macabre, but I don't care and I certainly won't complain!
Use [Streamline] if your companion can use [Seismic Bond]. Use [Fleeting Expertise] if not. If you use [Fleeting Expertise], swap [Augur Reach] out for [Primed Continuity].
If I'm not ranking up another companion, I generally use my Panzer for Viral priming.
This build should be easily able to keep Danse Macabre going the entirety of each ESO round. Simply equip whatever weapons and companion you want to rank up and Spin to Win! This can also be used for focus farming. Either way, use this in public groups. It isn't optimized for solo focus farming or ranking.
When you need to drop out of Danse Macabre to recharge Mesmer Skin, roll to activate [Rolling Guard] before casting it. That way, you won't get screwed by focused fire. It removes your current stacks during casting.
