Cast on Death is not a gem you make a build around. Because you’re dead when you use it, obviously. Totally useless in Hardcore. For Softcore, you do have a few options. The  Portal is a good one, as long as where you died isn’t going to get you killed the moment you spawn in there. Other effects that could be good are large area effects. Spells that were cast before you died, and spells that trigger off this, continue to act while you are sitting there watching your dead body, which can help clear out a bunch of the enemies that killed you making your return easier later on.

Basically, it’s there to help players that end up dying a lot get further each time. For a pro who is running endgame maps and hardcore, it’s useless.
