Almost everyone uses similar combinations for sure but wonder if you have some other experiences or choices?
*Trag’Oul’s Avatar - Weapon: [Stain of Sin] / Head: [Sliver of Terror]
*Znec Support Build S30 - Weapon: [Stain of Sin] / Head: [Fragment of Destruction]
*No Six Pieces Set - Weapon: [Stain of Sin] / Head: [Sliver of Terror]
*Bones of Rathma - Weapon: [Essence of Anguish] / Head: [Sliver of Terror]
*Grace of Inarius - Weapon: [Remnant of Pain] / Head: [Shard of Hatred]
*Masquerade of Burning Carnival - Weapon: [Essence of Anguish] / Head: [Sliver of Terror]
*Pestilence Master’s Shroud - Weapon: [Essence of Anguish] / Head: [Shard of Hatred]
From my personal experience it depends on the activity you do not only on set/build.
For the helm I believe Sliver of Terror is used mostly or exclusively. It by far outclasses the other two and it provides a lot of toughness which most necro builds lacks.
For weapon Essence of Anguish is actually the most versetile and one every build can use. Dregs is only usable in pet builds so only Rat can use it. Stain of Sin is just bad for any build apart from support and honestly I dunno why anyone would use it. Remnant of Pain is an interesting option for 100% crit chance since Bone Armor will trigger it (stun). But it works only in pushing and in rotation-centric builds.
So I would go Essence of Anguish / Sliver of Terror for all necro builds.

so another question, why so many soul shards drops?
Well, each shard you upgrade may have different statistics. For example, different elemental damage, different main stat (it is by no means bound to the class you’re upgrading the shard with), different special power (yes, within each shard type you can get different special powers). There’s no way to change those statistics, so to get the ones you’d like you have to upgrade another shard.
Also, you may use shards for augments, so “failed” upgrades are perfect for this.
