I was going to try my hand at writing a Nerco/Dark guide myself until I saw yours. There were a few things that I did differently and that is mainly just a playstyle preferance. One thing that I think is very note worthy and something that I haven't seen anywhere else is a little bit of info about Soul Extraction.
Many people and it seems yourself included are not big on the power. And there are good reasons not to be, I think I'm a little biased from my Warshade background, but the extracted soul seems to have one thing that I will always want it around for. That one thing is Range beyond anything I've seen capable on a Mastermind. The Soul blast attack that it has seems to be at the very least Sniper range and I use that little fella for Pulling all the time.
Standard pull: Target Mob, click attack macro for the Soul from the henchmen window, then immediatly click the Passive macro for the Soul, and then wait for the mob to come running in.
It seems to work fairly reliably since I'm sitting on the other side of a room under the Shadow fall.
I Just thought that the benefit of the power is never fully expressed. And that is why mine is Slotted to get one out as soon as Possible.
