I got Archon Spaulders of Strength from a Rift Guardian last night. I was so pumped.

Yeah, I really hate lightning also. I hate deadly reach and because FoT is shit now, you're pretty much forced into it. SSS:FO is holy, and with some CDR/diamond, I think it's pretty solid. Watching an elite pack melt is very satisfying. Plus, +holy makes the best CS rune even better. It's just too bad that there aren't any weapons(aside Skycutter)that synergize well with holy.

Who knows. People think Forgotten Souls might reset the counter and I'd be more inclined to assume a plan would over a soul. Did Blizz ever comment on that?

What zones/quests were you using? It took me 30 minutes to get a wizard from 32-61, but that was using Campaign mode.
edit: Oh, I realize you could be using a Hellfire ring (I don't have one yet), which would probably speed it up quite a bit.

I never played D2 very much so I never got into it like that, but from what I hear that's a very good thing. Again, I do think it's a very good thing.
I think part of the problem is, I'm walking along on my WD, melting faces on T1, thinking I'm doing alright, and maybe have a build that works really well. Then an elite + yellow will pop up, and I get slaughtered. Meanwhile, the wizard walks on by, and melts it all, and I'm like well that sucks.
Did others take a while to figure out a build that worked for them? Granted, gear can change constantly, so maybe that's the idea, is your build should always be changing.

Crone that's what I'm using and I don't have much problems with T1, even though I do die if I get stuck in a bunch of shit with spirit walk down every now and then, but damage is good and single target damage is higher than my crusader too.

First link is my profile but it didn't update build, you can check the terrible gear though.
I didn't even bother rerolling my shit to the new skills and what not. Basically just run around, haunt+piranas shit and they pretty much stop moving, locust on harder mobs/elites, spirit barrage as a filler. You run out of mana at some point kinda but it almost self sustain so it's not too bad and I find it easier to use than vampire bats and there's cold synergy(granted I have shit for cold gear).

Would you put Lightning first because of Thunderfury? I've been playing a bit with Lightning (only +50), and I don't care for it much at all. None of the Lightning skills have a rune that gives +Damage / +Lightning Dmg, unlike Fire. I seem to kill stuff faster with a Fire build, with less +Fire and a weaker +Fire wpn, all due to runes that give that +Dmg/+Fire.

At work, and it won't let me update my signature. My build now is what I figured out due to so much + Zombie Charger damage I have on my gear, but still wanting a "pet" build. Fetishes are awesome for Rift Guardians.
Edit: I tried out a Haunt / pet build, and that was pretty cool when in a big area. Kind of took a while, but was able to slow burn down an entire huge group of mobs. Just haunted everything, and started running around. haha!

Thunderfury doesn't benefit from +lightning dmg, unfortunately. Shard of Hate, however, does proc on every activation (re: every 'attack') of lightning skills. And that is why lightning is number one. Until they give SoH an ICD or something, it'll be lightning >>>>.. though the cold tempest rush rune might be hilarious with a SoH as well.
I'm a fire monk as well and I have something like 35mil eDPS on short fights (sub 500 mil). So I'm not knocking it, but there's just a ton of good +lightning gear out there that synergizes with the skills you can use to proc SoH.
