ma/da critique please

Hello scrapper forums!

To break up the tedium of iTrials, I've been playing an ma/da scrapper and recently hit 50. I'm reasonably happy with the build, it solo'd a level 51 Chimera (AV) with a t3 spiritual, using the chain CS>TK>SK>TK, switching to EC>SK>CS>SK when build-up is active (the 2nd chain is not end-sustainable for an AV battle).

I've considered several options...
dropping taunt for crane kick. (this one is tough. I love the utility of taunt but the entertainment value and improvement in DPS is awfully tempting)
Putting a set of Hecatombs (mostly for the +acc and +rech) into SK, a 3% io where the steadfast res/end currently is. This option is a bit pricey and will have to wait a bit.

More recovery would be great, but I can't decide where to pull the slot from. I could move a slot from hasten or BU to Physical Perfection, move the numi proc, and put a miracle in health... I can't decide if a wee bit more recovery and regen is worth the cost. Destiny would get me a bit more rech and recovery (perhaps allowing me to switch to a musculature alpha), the toon seems plenty sturdy for incarnate trials without +def/+res, but that option is tempting, too. So many options!

The road to 50 was an excercise in end mgmt, life got a lot better with PP. Exemping down for TFs, I generally run without my fighting pool toggles unless absolutely necessary to conserve endurance, and I made a macro to inspcombine blues . It's been worth it; stacking stuns with attacks and OG is fun, even AV's wobble around when their triangles are down. Anyway, here it is and thanks in advance for your feedback.

also: can my ST dps be improved? do IDF stun with their energy melee attacks? how often does the chance to stun proc in Pyronic go off?

I goofed a bit trying to recreate my build while the servers were down. Here's what I'm actually using at the moment.

You're build looks pretty solid to me.

In terms of moving one slot to Physical Perfection, you could pull a slot out of Super Speed. The 2nd slot really adds very little to your build.

I do recommend adding Purple IO sets to Dark Armor builds. If it's with in you means, I say go for it.

I concur with Desmodos, there isn't really anything I can add to your build beyond personal preference changes.

I probably would have taken LBE and stuck 3 Thunderstrike in it for a little more E/N defense and a bit of recovery, but otherwise the build is pretty solid.

If you've soloed an AV with it, I don't suppose it's really in need of much improvement.
