There just isn't a default Unholy GoD rotation, atm. You'd have to build your own for the time being.

I dropped it to ~3-4 minutes, and don't run max optimization anymore (adjust it depending on how many minutes I'm running, or how AFK I'm going to be), and it runs reasonably now.

Sigil of the Hanged Man is messed up. If you edit the item, you'll see it has it's list of procs in there twice (the special effects). Delete a set of procs and that'll probably fix it.

20*3.05 = 61
14*3.05 + 10*2.31 = 65.8

Looks like all you need is a 4str bonus for it to be worth it.

Edit:
10*3.05 + 14*2.31 = 62.82

Even a 4crit bonus is worth it.
