I have played around with many different soul combinations now in Rift beta. I think I can say I have found the most overpowered soul combo so far. What spec is it? It is actually a pretty similar spec I was previously running, but I am now putting more points into my second soul than my first one.
Originally I was running with Warlock, Necromancer, and Dominator. It was a pretty good soul combination. I could dot, life leech, fear, and turn players into squirrels. It seemed like the perfect soul combo that would let me dps till my fingers bleed, and keep me alive with self heals from all the dps/heal spells.
I soon realized that 5-10 health ticks a sec don't keep you alive in pvp. I think they may need to boost it up a little to make it a little more viable. I also found myself with an empty mana bar which is an automatic death sentence in the Warfronts.
I decided to reset my soul points, and put most of my points into Necromancer instead of Warlock. What a huge difference. I lost fear, and wither which was a 70% snare, but gaining Soul Purge is like handing me an Iwin button.
I now just dot players up, and build up my charge. I than unleash Soul Purge on them which is a channeled spell that uses my charge buildup. I do over 400 damage with this spell, and the best part is it heals my skelly pet, and myself for over 600. It makes you almost unkillable.

Also what makes the necromancer soul so OP is the new stronger skelly pet along with a spell called Exhume which basically lets you instacast your pet. On my Warlock every time my pet died I had to spend 8 seconds summoning it again. I felt like I spent more time summoning my pet than I did fighting.
Most solo fights are now easily won, and picking off targets in the Warfronts have never been easier. I can now get a good ratio of kills, killing blows, damage, and so on. If you love playing a dps caster I highly suggest this combo, or another one I am now seeing which is Necromancer, Warlock, and Chloromancer.
