This should have been posted in the Scrapper forum, by the way.
Where the heck is Dark Regeneration??!!
I'm not sure what you plan to slot in your attacks, so it's tough to tell if 5 slots will be enough. I also question why Spin only has 4 slots. It has a larger endurance cost and recharge time than most other attacks, so I would want more slots there (I've got all my attacks 6 slotted).
I would drop confront. It's not a very good power for a scrapper.

Why the 5th slot in Murky? It should be fine with 4 slots (endurance reducer and 3 damage resists or some mix of set IOs).
Cloak of Fear has a huge endurance cost and requires a to-hit check. It's screaming for another 2 slots. I would also urge the consideration to switch over to Oppressive Gloom. It's a wonderful power with hardly any endurance cost, though it does use a portion of your life, but Health will easily overcome this.

It appears that you plan to use Hover as your knock back protection (or are you using KB IOs?). Hover is pretty darn slow on its own; I would get some slots in there for flight speed.
Stamina, you do plan to put 2 more slots here, right?
I can only assume you don't plan to do any PvP with this character so I question the use of Assault and Tactics. They are fairly endurance intensive toggles, especially paired with the other toggles you'll be running concurrently. With Follow Up easily made permanent with 2 recharge enhancers, Assault and Tactics really isn't needed for PvE.
Oh, did I ask already where the heck Dark Regeneration is???!!!!!????!!!!????!!!??!?!?
See i originally had Dark Regeneration... maybe i wasnt using it right... but i found that i didnt use it enough to warrent a slot, plus the endurance cost is huge... i thought that if i just carried a few health recharges that would be enough and i would be able to use it for something else.
Confront is useful as long as you use it right, there has been a few times when i was in the Rikti Warzone and i used Confront to pull a few bad guys off the boss before attacking.
Hover, dont i have to take hover before i get flight?
I would like to play PVP often, but i am trying to tweek my toon just right so then i can. This is my first toon and i am at lvl 45 i definately plan to slot Cloak of Fear a bit differently.
What would you suggest if i want a PVP toon?

Not Claws/Dark.
To reiterate, where the heck is dark regeneration?!?!!!@?!@!(&$()@#$MOO
Dark Regen is a very potent self heal which recharges very quickly. I don't see any reason to skip it.
Air Superiority is a far better choice than Hover, as you can easily keep things locked down between Focus, Shockwave (lulz), and Air Superiority.
Confront... just... no.

Dark Regeneration is one of the best self heals in the game. It has three downsides in my mind:
1) You must have enemies nearby to use it (it's something like ~420 health per mob at level 50 with no health enhancers in DR).
2) It has an initial endurance cost of about 33.
3) It has a to-hit check.
With that said, I would suggest 6 slots in it. 2 accuracy, 2 recharge and 2 endurance reductions are what I would slot for common IOs or SOs. Using sets, you can mix match things to get the desired attributes you're looking for.
Personally, I would still ditch Confront and pick up something else. Focus is a ranged attack that you can use to pull if need be.
You could take Air Superiority instead of Hover if you wanted. AS is a great attack for control. AS paired with Focus will keep anything on its back for the duration of the fight. AS will cause weapon redraw, but I think that won't be much of an issue with I12 on the horizon.
Claw/Dark is a tough one for PvP.
First off, you don't have any KB protection right now in that build, besides Hover. You'll need either Acrobatics from the Super Jump pool (meaning you would have to ditch flight or have 2 travel powers) or you'll need a few of the KB IOs.
Claws lacks the burst damage that you would want for PvP. Claws really shines during longer battles (example: AV fight) because it has lower endurance cost attacks that recharge pretty quickly, but are lower on the damage side. This paired with melee character in PvP are at a disadvantage to begin with makes Claws tough.
Dark Armor is a great set for PvE, but it's a little tougher in PvP. It has a tough time recovering from large bursts of damage, which Regeneration can deal with. Dark Regeneration can help if you're fighting another melee character, but you can't use it if it's a ranged attacker.
I've used my Claw/Dark in PvP before on a team and I had a great time. It just isnt very good at one on one.
