Well, I very much doubt you need Tough and Weave.
Fearsome Stare must not be delayed. Neither should Tar Patch or Darkest Night, and Howling Twilight is pretty good too.
If you can, delay getting your travel powers, and use the temp. travel powers. I do this all the time now, and two extra powers before 20 is a good thing.
Stamina I'm guessing is required for /Dark, although you might try slotting for EndRedux and see how it goes.
Your pets are NOT skippable. They are the "must take" powers for a MM.
Something like:
1. Call Thugs, Twilight Grasp
2. Tar Patch
4. Dual Wield
6. Equip Thugs
8. Darkest Night
10. Empty Clips
12. Enforcer
14. Howling Twilight
16. Swift
18. Fearsome Stare
20. Hurdle
22. Stamina
24. Air Sup/Hover
26. Brusier
28. Fly
30. Gang War <-- would really like to take this much earlier also
32 Upgrade
35.
38 Fluffy
41
44
47
49
Hmmm, that is really tight. My Thugs is Traps, and I don't need Stamina, which is a big help. You really might try to slot as much EndRedux as you can, and see if you can live with out Stamina. Those three power picks are just killing my build here.
You don't really need the pistols, but I took mine because they look cool, so I left them in.
Good luck.

Darkest Night, Howling Twilight, Shadowfall, Fearsome Stare and Petrifying Gaze should all be taken as soon as they're available. They're solid powers that have each saved my butt many times over.
You have the luxury of postponing travel powers a few levels, unless you're an AE baby and have never done a newspaper mission. This buys you a little breathing room that can be very useful. I wouldn't put off Stamina, though.
Masterminds should take Leadership, if they have pets. And a defensive strategy will mesh well with /Dark Miasma's -toHit powers. If I were choosing powers it would probably go like this:
1. Call Thugs/Twilight's Grasp
2. Tar Patch
4. Darkest Night
6. Equip Thugs
8. Swift
10. Howling Twilight
12. Call Enforcers
14. Health
16. Shadowfall
18. Gang War
20. Stamina
22. Fearsome Stare
24. Hover
26. Call Bruiser
28. Petrifying Gaze
30. Fly
32. Upgrade Equipment
35. Maneuvers
38. Dark Servant
41. Scorpion Shield
44. Power Boost
47. Tactics
49. Assault
Thanks for all the opinions and suggestions. I just want to do my second build without pets for Roleplaying purposes. I don't expect it to be hugely effective or anything.
I'll keep in mind postponing the travel powers till after I get stamina, Stamina is like a must for /dark. I could probably put them off till very late since I do have that nifty jump pack. omeone suggested getting all my pets as soon as they become available too.
So I'm pretty new to CoV please be gentle.
