The Tantrumdin
Thanks for the words of encouragement guys. A friend gave me a couple short war bows for crafting. 700 shrines down and i at least have a tantrum bow. Gives me alot more push to keep going with that small bit of success.
Don't give up y'all.
Trying to screenshot but color is all jacked up, so let me explain my encouragement!
I probably rolled, as Suchbalance stated, ~400-500 or so times before I saw Tantrum. It didn't roll with a cTc, but it did have 30% to Dex, 20% All res, and 104% to MF. So I said screw it and kept it until I found a second sacred short war bow to roll that one.
I probably rolled both together over 1k times and I hadn't even seen cTc Arrow once. Tantrum a bunch of times and a plethora of insanely nice bows that either lacked cTc or Tantrum (holy shit frustrating, but pleasing at the same time knowing that insane roll WAS out there). In fact, I was about to post here bitching because I hadn't once seen cTc Arrow.
So, I went to sleep. Just woke up rolled a few Eerie shrines (again, like he said, fuck it and just roll whatever shrines you have) and got a pretty shit bow with the following stats: cTc Arrow, 15 Tantrum, 16 Energy, 123% Fire Resistance, and 125% Magic Find. So pretty shit in the DMG department. I then rolled an Abandoned Shrine and got an awesome +11 Dex. I then blessed it and didn't get jack shit. So I'll keep this one for now, but I def am gonna try to roll a better one in the future.
But for now? FIINNNNNNNNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAALYYY! Good luck y'all (you will frigging need it!)

Right? I really, really wanted to get one on a weird shrine roll. I got another one that I just had to keep, where one of the stats was like "adds 3-1050 damage" among a few really good other stats... but no tantrum. Now I'll have to build another character around that bow, which does some crazy thing like 600-1800 damage before any MO, runes, etc. Maybe a bow druid or such.

I admit I tried a gazillion shrines for Tantrum a few months ago but only after a few tries with Abandoned shrines did Tantrum oskill pop up. Grrr! 
I don't mean to dwell...but I can't help myself.
What would you say is the best mercenary for this build?
Tainted blood on my merc makes him a god (currently using A2 Fighter Mage for chronofield he'll get eventually)
I was thinking about one of these:
an A2 Shapeshifter (for the bloodlust)
A3 BloodMage for the heal ( I feel like this is a huge waste, because im already a god and i dont think hoping for a welltimed merc skill for when i get to very low health will work out well(
A1 Priestess for Tremor and pray and spray <3
And Lastly A5 merc, for a handy tank, With Gift of the wild buff for my team :V
Would love to get some feedback. On gearing the merc, would prolly just make him a tank for an easier terror experience.
But im not sure which one I want. Leaning heavily towards shapeshifter for bloodlust. Im just afraid he'll pounce into death.
