I'm stuck with my necro

I've been making lots of different build for my stamcro : I started out with a bonkcro then I went to a full proc master's DW setup after getting frustrated by how often d-swing misses in actual combat. After that, the new issue was that my only stun was turn evil (anyone who has ever tried to stun people with it knows why it's bad) and I noticed dragon's/vate/mastersDW builds were pretty squishy so I tried making something with two 5-piece sets Now, I'm using the same thing as basically everyone else : DW front bar and rallying cry back bar.

Anyways, all this time I could see the flaws in my builds and how I could upgrade it but now, I don't see how I can improve much more. Unfortunately, with the current state of necro, there aren't a lot of people sharing good necro builds (the only one I can think of is avid necro but he only makes mag builds) so I'm pretty much stuck with my current build that I don't know how to improve.
Here it is btw https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Special:EsoBuildData?id=661319

I have a few decent clips on this build : it seems the main problem is damage, but I can't find a way to improve it. Anyone has an idea ? I've thought about replacing expunge and modify with something that has major breach but puncture would be one too many 15s buff that I need to keep up, while being a drain on my ressources and ele susc would require an ice staff, and I need a shield to have access to a good stun. Besides, expunge and modify is a life saver in 1vX when you need mag for a quick burst heal

    You can replace Resistant Flesh with the scribing heal (resource return, w/e you want, major vitality). If you run a staff backbar, I believe destro staff still has a ranged CC in there if it's a flame staff - destructive clench (Flame Clench), it's a knockback.

    You could also move Deaden Pain to the backbar to replace Reverberating, then put Ruinous Scythe frontbar. It provides off balance, which means you won't be able to CC on cooldown, but it is AoE, heals, applies hemorrhage, and a heavy attack to CC every so often. Imo, Expunge and Modify isn't worth it, 2 negative effect cleanse is...Oof, especially since you hurt your HP pool to do it (not great under pressure). The resource sustain isn't all that great, either, though I can see how it could come in clutch.

    I thoroughly enjoy Remote Totem for a CC, but you're not likely to hit anyone with it while chasing. Only other two things I can think of is replacing Markyn with saint and seducer, and maaaaybe replacing balorghs with anthelmir's construct. The latter may be particularly impactful if you start running Ruinous Scythe and using off balance -> heavy for CC, since it'll do the burst right when you CC and you can chain that into dawnbreaker.

    Edit: Oop, forgot one. You *could* replace Blood for Blood with the scribing spammable. Ruinous Scythe lets you still get Hemorrhage and the scribing spammable can have major brutality (or savagery, idk what potions you're using but I see major brutality and savagery active in your buffs, so I assume it's a stam pot that gives both of those). Some possible flexibility there depending on what buffs you need/want and *could*, with some finangling, open up some slot flexibility. You can also slap major breach on the spammable too, which is nice. BtB is definitely hard to give up though if you're already running it.

    Stay strong, necbro.

    I use the Dazing Soul on my NB and it is effective and does not seem to miss unless someone is using snow treaders or Im Pots. I lead off with Soul Tether after this stun wears off I use Dazing Soul and you've stunned them for 7 seconds. It's a mean combo.

    Oh sorry I forgot to mention I don't have scribing :D
    It's fine, I can still wreck bad players with my build, and your suggestions made me improve my build. Bye bye expunge and modify !
