For Lich, you definitely want to put Chance for Negative damage proc in him. All of his attacks can trigger the proc except for the hold (which recharges in 20s).
Lich is a boss pet so his proc damage is actually higher than yours. When it happens, it's almost like another "Dark Blast" damage against even-level enemy.
I would go for a mix of +damage/+acc/-tohit debuff and one proc. Lich doesn't need -endurance at all because all of his powers take less endurance than the counterpart. Some people put +hold or +fear duration but I feel the hold power isn't used that often and fear already has pretty good base duration. What Necro needs is more damage.
What's left is to normalize all Assassin Strikes and improve Stalker's old sets (Claw, MA and EM)! You don't need to bring back the missing PbAoE attack. You just need to make the existing ones better! For example, make Slice a WIDER and LONGER cone.
Basically what Jibikao said.
I usually devote 4 slots to accuracy and damage (and some endurance - Lich doesn't need it, but it's just my standard pet slotting), then one slot for the Cloud Senses proc, and the last slot for tohit debuff.
You could likely use HOs to reduce that to 3 slots for acc/dam allowing you two for tohit debuff, which with two generic level 50 IOs would bring you close to AD cap (there are some who'd give higher priority to the tohit debuff than the damage, but I'm running it with /Dark so have -tohit in spades already).
I've tried putting Chance to -Recovery. This is like the most USELESS thing in the game. I can't notice what it does to the enemies so I thought maybe it has its use in pvp. I asked my friend to go to Warburg with me and he said he can't notice anything. So don't even bother using this proc.
I've also tried Chance to -Recharge. This is really hard to tell on the mobs. It's only 25%. There is no "graphic" that shows -recharge is slower. I put it in Lich and Grave Knights just to test it and I also can't notice any meaningful difference. Maybe it is better in pvp...?

Ok then how is this for a build? Gonna do the tp into the middle of a mob, spam heals, and debuff the tougher baddies.
World of Pain is perma'd, and have a few powers that are just mules.
Go ahead and tear it apart, the only MM I have is a bots/ff and have him set up as a tankermind. This is the first attempt at a melee centric mm build.

Depending on level and how you play your Necro MM, there is value in checking what Hammi-Ohs bring for optimal accuracy, damage, endurance, and mezz combos.

HelinCarnate:OMG it is so terrible. I have the option to take 3 more powers but no additional slots. Boo F'ing hoo.

this is because those procs wont work in a pet. the only pet procs that work afaik are % to damage and the chance to build up from the pet IO set.

That's incorrect, those procs do work in a pet (I just tested it with Dark Watcher chance of -recharge in Lich). Generally speaking, for any given attack or power used by a pet, if it can be enhanced by a particular set it'll trigger the procs from that set.|

That said, the -recharge isn't likely to be very noticeable; it probably works best if you've got other sources of -rech to stack with. And the -recovery one, well, maybe mildly useful in PvP (unsure, I don't PvP in this game), but for PvE you really need -100% recovery *and* -endurance paired to get any meaningful results. Mobs just don't burn through their endurance fast enough to see any impact from minor debuffs like that.
Ok folks is my build that good that I am not getting any comments? I doubt it, lol.

To make what Biowraith said a little more clear, pets have many attacks, not all attacks take all IO set categories that the pet itself does. For instance, the Lich can take hold sets. But the bonuses and procs from hold IOs will not test or apply to the fear power. Even the acc/end will not apply to the fear power despite the fact that fear sets come with acc and end bonuses. If you slot a proc from a fear set and don't see it function, it's not because the proc doesn't trigger, it's because it only checks to trigger on the fear power. All the others it doesn't exist at all.|

This is why Hammio's have been repeatedly recommended. And why the chance for negative is so great: it tests on all but one power.
