Extra Details
This build did not work well during the PTR because it wasn't possible to get to a point where Rushing Claw could be reset to maximum charges fast enough to be useful.
A change was added in the Post PTR Patch Notes that allows Poised Rushing Claw to reduce the Cooldown of Rushing Claw Charges by 5 Seconds which makes the build viable with insane Cooldown Reduction Investment, Correct Tempers and Masterworking.
This build has currently done a Pit 100 in around 5 Minutes with Zero Mythic Sanctifications so it will easily go Pit 110+ if you land a 
The Grandfather Sanctification, potentially higher.
With the correct gear this build this will easily beat all the Hardest Content In The Game without issue.

How Do You Solve Getting To Maximum Rushing Claw Charges Between Casts?
To really make this build pop you need to understand exactly how it is allowing you to Scale It's Damage in a way that wasn't possible until the latest changes.
I created a Calculator that visually shows how the math works for tackling the Rushing Claw Cooldown so be sure to check that out and feel free to copy it for your own use.
The goal here is Recharge Rushing Claw to Maximum Charges between Each Cast so that you can benefit from its Maximum Damage Output due to Poised Rushing Claw granting 50%[x] Damage per Charge on cast.
With Poised Rushing Claw equipped it grants you 12 Maximum Charges as well as the above Damage Boost but it also brings the problem that it Consumes All Charges on Cast with a Base Recharge Rate of 20 Seconds per 4 Charges on Rushing Claw.
A change was made to Poised Rushing Claw in the Post PTR Patch Notes where it will reduce your Recharge Time by 5 Seconds before Cooldown Reduction is taken into account. This change is very important as before this it was not possible to achieve Perma-Max-Stacks on Rushing Claw with Poised Rushing Claw equipped.
The first part of the puzzle goes without saying which is you will need the Maximum 75% Cooldown Reduction on your Rushing Claw. With Poised Rushing Claw equipped this instantly reduces your Recharge Time to 3.75s per 4 Charges.
With the use of 
Swift which reduces your Mobility Skill Cooldowns by 1 Second per Swift Rank it is possible to Instantly Recharge Rushing Claw when cast so long as you Travel Enough Distance to get the Maximum Benefit from Swift.
This is great but this only lets you Repeat Cast Rushing Claw with 4 Charges during combat unless you wait around an extra 7.5 Seconds to gain the extra 8 Charges required to be at maximum.
This is where the Rushing Claw Tempers come into play for Swift and Rushing Claw Charges.
One thing that won't be immediately obvious is that the Rushing Claw Charges Temper not only Increases Your Maximum Rushing Claw Charges, it also Increases the Charges per X as well.
This is incredibly important because by rolling a Maximum Rushing Claw Charges Temper and Masterworking it to a Minimum of +4 Charges, this will raise your Maximum to 16 Charges and your Charges per X to 8 Charges.
This has now brought you into a place where you only have to Recharge Twice to be able to reach Maximum Charges Each Cast or 3.75s Cooldown after cast.
To reduce that final 3.75s Cooldown you will want to get a minimum of 8 Ranks in Swift which can be achieved through the following:
- Passive Tree
Shroud of False Death- Swift Temper
Wildfire Glyph
At this point you have pretty much solved the problem but there is one other consideration to take into account.
For Maximum Damage Output you can take 
Vehemence which Increases Potency Damage by 10% per Rank but it also Increases Potency Cooldowns by 5% per Rank making the Rushing Claw Recharge Problem a little tougher.
You will end up with +1 Rank in Vehemence by default with the Shroud of False Death equipped so I would avoid putting more ranks here unless you are going for Maximum Pushing Potential where you are going to have to get used to less Quality of Life and Learn to Time your Rushing Claw casts for Maximum Damage Output.
The Wildfire glyph will assist here a little bit but as things stand you would need absolutely maxed out Tempers for both Swift and Rushing Claw Charges to consider maxing out Vehemence.
How Does This Build Critical Strike And Overpower?
You will look to stack 100% Critical Chance across the build to gain permanent Critical Damage but to Overpower you will probably need to gain access to the 
Nesekem, The Herald Sanctification which will allow you to Overpower some of the time.
How Do You Stack And Maintain The Sunstained War-Crozier Aspect?
The Sunstained War-Crozier grants up to 250%[x] Damage over 10 Stacks which are activated upon using a Focus Skill.
This makes it tricky to sustain as 
Ravager is currently the only skill in use that is a Focus Skill and remembering to cast this every 8 Seconds can be quite tedious.
There are two ways to solve this problem:
- Replace Scourge with
Vortex and take the 50%[x] Damage Loss as a result. - Use the
Moni + 
Kry combination to auto-cast Vortex with a less than 50%[x] Damage loss.
Neither of these are a perfect solution but we opt to use the Moni + Kry combination of Runes as this nets us the least Damage Loss whilst granting some level of automation to stacking the Sunstained War-Crozier.
Note: There is a world where Bac might be better than Moni so I will test and update if it is.
