Nothing in the guide about the necro skills.  Or I missed it.

You missed it. While this guide is primarily about dark miasma, you can find some information on Necro. Initial blurb and purple text on the first post about necro. Then multiple replies throughout this thread with necro builds. Didn't update anything about necro to reflect the changes to necromancy, but they're not major other than some tweaks to slotting the two buffs. And maybe grabbing more than one attack to spawn more ghosts

My first villain when CoV went live was a mastermind.  I tried several combinations and fell in love with my Robotics/Dark and I still feel that it's better than Necro/Dark.  Demons/ wasn't available until Freedom (Praetoria) if memory serves me correctly.  I felt that Bots/ fit better with /Dark as the bots are ranged/AoE.  Since they tend not to run away from me to attack so they stay within my PBAoE heal (Twilight Grasp), although , at lower levels, the Battle Drones will still try to melee sometimes when their ranged attacks are on cool-down.
