Judging by the sig you're Claws... so you won't get Dark Consumption for an +endurance boost.
Obsidian Shield (mez toggle) should be the first toggle up, followed by Acrobatics (Instant activation now!)
After that I'd go with Oppressive Gloom or CoF, followed by the damage resistance shields (S/L first).
If at any time the disorient wears off before you finish retoggling, you can use Dark Recovery... 
Dark is one of the easier self-rezes to recover from. You may want to put an Endurance SO in the default slot though, it can be hard work retoggling all those powers back up on a nearly empty blue bar.
cheers for that. at the moment i've just got the one default slot in it and that has a recharge SO in it. kind of fits my play style to have it up often....
ooh a mob! chargy chargy slashy slashy oopsie daisy
Its nice Vs AVs, I run in and die infront of them to give my team the edge on my Brute, with that I toggle Acro, Obsidian, Death Shroud (to pull back any agro I lost) then other shields. Acro and Obsidian are the main ones, as I have time for both before anyone can act I dont see the order as important

6 slot it and go nuts with it, the only time to worry about being defeated is when its still recharging..well if ya lvl 50 that is.
He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.

to be honest i don't really worry about being defeated with this toon. if it takes longer to get to 50 so be it, he's an absolute joy to play.
i like to pick off mopre than i can chew, a lot of the time i'll come out successful looking like a god of destruction. for all other times there's soul transfer
I'm not too sure what you think Soul Transfer actually does...
It's a self rez that basically leeches Health and Endurance from all nearby enemies. It does pants damage, but is autohit. It causes a VERY high Mag disorient to all enemies nearby (although the stun's duration is quite short) and makes you "untouchable" for 10 seconds.
Unslotted it'll take 4 mobs to fully refill your Health and Endurance bars, and take 300 seconds to recharge.
Slot it however you want, though I'd only really see use for Disorient Duration (since it's quite a short mez- 10 seconds base on +0s) or endurance/health/recharge depending on how you use it...
that sounds like good advice. thanks. i may actually put some damage in there as it fits the character.
hes basically a over zealus psycho who thinks he's a rad defender
having recantly got soul transfer on my claws/dark armour scrapper i've a few questions
first, how do you recommend slotting this power?
secondly after using it in the middle of a mob whats next. i run prety much all the armours, combat jumping and acrobatics. do i fire of a few attacks or do i get my armors back on line. if the second what order?
i'm loving this power for the straight back to kicking assness that makes Tamcron what he is
