So I read Lobster's Crab guide the other day and now that my Crab is nearing 50 I'm spending a lot of time tinkering with builds. I came up with a build that I *think* achieves a lot of great stuff, however I may be wrong as its all theory at this point. It highlights HP, regen, and capped range def but maintains good recharge, damage, pet availability and adds a bit of resistance. The 2 force feedback rchg procs *should* help keep Hasten permanent as well considering it is 4 secs off perma in this build, and the Disruptors and the Coralax pet are only down for 30 seconds before FF procs are factored. Downside is, it isn't cheap. Still, is it worth working towards or is my emphasis on HP and regen not worth the effort? Thanks.

I wouldn't recommend spirit shark, the animation time is horrible. On the other hand, I have yet to actually respec and switch it out for school of sharks, so I dunno.
