Claws/SR build advice, Fitness pool when?

Just coming back to the game after a long hiatus, and I have some questions about my build. The Mids plan that I had back when I started the character has been since lost, so I decided to throw something new together. Granted, I didn't go overly in-depth researching older forum posts here (of which, I am sure there are many), but I did look over a guide or two posted under the guides section, and used my residual knowledge (limited as it may be) in choosing which powers to take.

Overall, I'm pretty set on keeping the power rotation that I have posted. However, I'm open to changes on my defensive/pool powers. Particularly, I wasn't sure when the best time to take the Fighting pool was (early or late), and how to slot it.

It's of note that my primary of mode of play is, and always has been, groups. I don't find CoH to be much fun for a solo player, but great as a group (what other game lets you take on twenty or thirty mobs at a time?). Anyway, all knowledgeable input is welcome. If the build sucks, tell me so. Just be sure to tell me why as well, and how to make it better.

Perhaps also of note, this is one of the first scrappers that I've ever played that I actually found a lot of enjoyment with. In the past couple of years I've also fielded a MA/WP, a DB/Regen, and a Kat/Regen. Claws/SR is by far my favorite.

Edit: The slot order listed in the build isn't entirely indicative of what I was going for. In shuffling slots around, some of them ended up with the wrong level per slot. The slots are just to give a general idea of number of slots and what will be slotted.

Well just a quick look and your missing Evasion, which is your toggle for AoE. You need to get that at lvl 35.

So, is that the only issue?

Why hasten? Claws doesn't really benefit much from it. Even the longest recharges aren't that long. The only thing it'd really help with is Elude's recharge. And Elude is recharged more then often enough. It's not needed 90% of the time (assuming you didn't soft cap defense). If you soft cap defense, it's just giving debuff protection anyway. Plus Elude boosts recharge rates to begin with. If you need elude, your already attacking faster.

Then there's quickness. Right there your boosting recharge rates.

Superspeed? Not really needed. Three slotting swift, sprint, and quickness for run speed puts you at about 48 mph. By comparison an unslotted superspeed with unslotted swift and quickness is 74.45 mph. Sure it's faster, but do you really need that much extra speed? Many I know have control issues at that rate of movement.

You just won't need hasten. Quickness will be hasten enough for you.

And I'd be taking the antimez toggle the instant it shows up - 10, right? It's been a while since I played my SR. Not a breath later. Not sure about the 3 slots in it, either - my MA/SR had just two rech slots, and I don't recall any issue with a gap in protection.

With two slots and quickness there is no gap.

Practiced Brawler is a click, not a toggle. I'd put the second slot in it asap though.
