I see you're omitting Thunderstrike, do you not like the animation?
I would take Build Up much sooner.

I don't hate Thunder Strike, but I basically had room for two from the grouping (Jake, Chain, T-Strike). Having the longest animation and recharge of the three, Thunder Strike got the ax.
Owing to a day at work where I didn't feel like working, I did some tweaking, and I might have upgraded from "train wreck" to "train wreck with possible survivors."

I had a great time playing with you!
Thunderstrike is an important part of your AoE; it is the attack you do right after BU+LR because it gets an auto-crit and provides a great deal of damage as part of your initial attack. With just those two attacks you can level most minions and put a sizable dent in LTs. Finishing up with a placate and AS will clear most spawns.
I noticed it wasn't in your build, but I highly recommend saving up your merits and using them to buy the +3% def steadfast IO from the merit merchant. It's a great value and is an IO that you will use for the life of the toon.
Here's a build I'd go with for leveling:

Hi,
I have decided to stop avoiding this AT, and decided I will try my hand at an Electric Melee/Ninjitsu. The only problem is, my build could get eight times better and still charitably be called a train wreck. Care to give a little constructive criticism? I'm specifically looking for "pick this power earlier/later/not at all," and the same basic sort of info for slots.
I don't really have the time/money to throw Set Pieces around, so to start he'll stick with SOs and IOs. The one notable exception is the Karma -KB piece.
Thanks in advance.
Later on,
Gatecrasher
