This is a rough summary/translation of schnappi's meta hero teambuild presentation. The build idea has proven to be very stable and fun to play. Variants for non-caller dervish and elementalist players have been made and played by a bunch of people – leaving them very happy with the results.
This condition over build is based on the underrated skill [[fevered dreams], an excellent skill for massive shutdown which can prove better than [[panic] if used correctly. FD spreads dazed on all foes in the area (which is much larger than panic's primary effect) when 2 or more conditions hit the hexed target. Whenever dazed is applied it rupts spells. While a target is dazed it will also take twice as long for casting spells and will be interrupted by any attack, e.g. by the minions.
The hero builds are further optimized:

[build=OQhDAZwTSvArAIgkAjQEBcQTA]

Keystone Signet Death Nova Mesmer:
[build=OQRCAcxzPA5z1Md55pKagnC]

Player Build suggestion:
[build=OwVSIYPTyA2kLQ7imOxk4UFB]
- Purpose: click and kill. Great energy management if played by an assassin, brutal damage combo with mes secondary. Consider microing Fevered Dreams to spread your crippled, cracked armor and deep wound condition as well as dazed.
- Runes: Depend on which build you play
