Undying or Thrill of the Hunt?

I'm working on a build for Doctor right now that includes Ruin. I want a perk to keep it alive as long as possible, as it's the centerpoint of the build. Should I go for Undying or Thrill of the Hunt?

Personally I'm leaning towards Thrill of the Hunt purely because it tells you when somebody is working on your totems. Being Doctor I can theoretically stop them from far away, especially if I have perks (like Distressing) or add-ons (like Calm or Order.) On paper I don't have issue getting to them and stopping them before they break the totem, especially with the little slowdown Thrill gives to totem cleansing.

Is there any reason to run Undying over Thrill of the Hunt?

    With undying you have the certainty that your ruin is never gonna go first, and also you see some random auras across the map sometimes if they walk close to a totem. On fast or ranged killers with bbq it makes more sense, but on doc maybe Thrill is the play. Maybe try both see what works best.
