PoE Little-Grim builds

Build: Main question I was hoping to get answered is the question of DPS. Because my god everyone says something different when it comes to acceptable DPS. 1 person says min 250K is the goal while another says 2M is the goal on league start.

POB: Looking into playing dark pact totem as a starter that can scale into end game. With trash gear, lv17 gems, and a 5 link this should do 500K dps. Which can scale to 5.5m dps with investment. Defense is MoM, HP, ES, and the totem play style. Debating between swapping out zealotry for vaal discipline if I feel squishy. Anyone have experience with DP totems? Main thing is I am sure the build will feel very clunky until getting astral projector. Hopefully not unplayble clunky.

600K Unbuffed Shaper DPs 1.3M Buffed Shaper DPS   Easy to start gearing with a high ceiling for OP gear late game.   Fun easy build that should be good for both clear and bossing without gem swapping. While also not being a 1 click mindless build.   Slap the enemy with consecrated path. If things get scary hit enduring cry. If an enemy is feeling a bit too tanky use intimidating cry.
