If you want an extra power, drop the leaping pool entirely and get super speed as your travel power. With you double-stacking leadership youll make everyone pretty awesome in the group.
Also, drop all your single-target attacks and pick up only AoEs. If youre in a team, chances are youve got a brute or tanker.
Vengeance is so-so. Someone's gotta be dead before you use it.
Been giving it alot of thought... since i have alot of free time on my hands... things being a little slow here at work, and i've adjusted my build a bit.
I decided double stacking all the leadership toggles was over kill... and veng was unnessessry. Figured passing up pets was a shame cause, not every at can get them... I've kind of altered my build to try and balance AoE damage, with personal defence and pets. I'll still be giving the team decent buffage, with 20% defence and 15% To hit. No damage buffage kind of bumbs me out, but at the same time, i can't seem to them in. I'd have to drop the pets... which i don't want, or maybe my fighting pool... which i may, but i kind of like the idea off having solid defence since i'll be mainly AoEing and prolly having to deal with alot of return fire... hmm..
Anyways, here's my NEW idea. More pricy... going to have to start putting bids in for the high doller stuff. Already got the Numina and Mir IO's... i'm thinking the posy sets and pet sets are going to cost meh... hmm. I make OK money craftin and sellin IO's on the market... and he isn't even built yet, so i'd have time before i'd need them to save and bid...

Lose Fighting. Weave is nice, but on a team I'd much rather have the two Assaults.

Yeah, was about to say, if you can fit run double Assault, go for it. Very much worth it. You could probably drop Omega Maneuver (yes, it's flashy, but it's often not worth it on teams due to the delay in its damage) and pick up a patron AoE (my Crab has Venom Grenade, Suppression, Electric Fences, and Ball Lightning, which is enough to take down spawns of Romans with little trouble).

My dom is almost finished. (41.5) Once she's done, i'll have a lvl 50 for each common villian AT. At which point, I'll be focusing on a Veat. I've decided i want a crab spider, and it'll be team orinted. (once i hit 50, all i ever do with my 50's is team, so it only makes since.)
I'm a bit lost when it comes to making a Crab... this is a rough draft of what i was thinking..

I figure, this build brings 20% D and 30% to hit and dmg buffs to a team with must me standing there... which is pretty good i think. I have 2 fast rechargeing attacks for single target dmg, 3 good aoe, and a nuke. Veng for an "oh crap" button... and travel.
Seems like a decent teamer. Thoughts? Advice? I'm not married to this idea, i'm very open for suggestions. My only real requirment is it's gots to be a crab.
Thanks in advance!
