Electric/Electric Brute - Perma Hasten and PS?

I'm curious what the point is - you can't perma Power Sink (it's an endurance drain/refill power so has a pretty much instantaneous effect) and you can get Hasten perma if you're going to be pushing that many purples by picking up a couple extra defense powers for LotG +recharges.
Yes, the build looks playable, but it's pretty expensive for "playable".

Interesting information about Power Sink.
Mids lists it as having a duration of 13.5s so I assumed that it was a DoT vs. End that was being established upon activation.
If that isn't the case and it is basically like "Consume" then it is still beneficial to speed up it's cool down by as much as possibel.
Here is the version of my elec/elec I'm currently working on as a second build. I also tried going for as much recharge I could without sacrificing the damage.

It has a taunt effect, that's the duration you're seeing. There's also a small chance (30%) of a 4 second -100% recovery on each target.
Yes, it's good to get the recharge down on it, but it's up fairly often without overslotting recharge in it; with 4 slots you could look into mixing endmod IO sets for a much better effect (2 EndMod/Rech, 2 Acc/EndMod/Rech - the Accuracy is wasted but you'll be fine on EndMod and Rech).

Unlike consume...power sink is auto-hit in PVE. Very nice little feature that one is.
RaikenX is currently seeking new quotes to add to his signature.
Someone say something funny.

Since the Rogue announcement I started looking at playing a Brute (to ultimately port over to Blue side).
After looking at the Electrical/Electrical combination it looks like i would be possible to almost pull off Perma Hasten and Perma Power Sink while having Build up on a 27 second cool-down..
On top of that, the character wouldn't really need a travel power and thus wouldn't have it's effective movement suppressed in combat.
Does this look right?

Keep in mind that I am sure this isn't the "best" build of this type. It is just something I threw together to see how the recharge reduction and movement speeds could be stacked.
