The talents for Aff as of now are so open to whatever playstyle you want. Want more abilities? Run SL/Haunt/DS:M. Want less abilities? Run AC/Sac (you'll do less damage if you take Sac)/Creeping Death. It just depends on how you want to play and the situation you're facing (whether that be AOE or ST).
