I don't know why you need so complex things. Use bog beasts + Ankh/LaD + cast GR on your own province. That's it for the price of 5(9 with LaD) death gems. Of course you need something except your PD that will hold the riders and at last kill them but that is not a problem usually at this stage of the game. Skellspam works the best because it prevents your troops from routing when PD is dead.
Also, there're several possibilities of placing beasts/commanders. With my current build causalities are about 0-2 priests (those who start fleeing in living form and turn to undead in the process. they continue fleeing and die). So one of your main tasks is to raise the morale of those who are being affected by poison as much as possible. Fleeing often means death for them.
In my current game as LA C'tis I am currently reanimating around 200-250 chariots/turn (about 80 H2 priests).
