I came looking for tips myself so I can't advise you. However I wanted to be clear as to whether you were going for a PvE build or PvP. That may help someone else answer your question.
PvE Build..
I'd never PvP with a build like this one.
Alright, I've tried refining the concept and managed to get to just shy of the softcap in all 3 positions without having to use the insanely expensive PVP IO.
I had to drop one of the AoE powers but looking at caltrops' damage with AAO and Soul Drain running is frankly sick.
It's like having Burn+Quicksand all rolled into one power (that damages twice as many enemies per tick as well).
Not at all optimized for single target damage and the End use concerns me a bit even with DC.
Any advice?

Looking at this build for sheer AoE carnage.
The empty slot in Tough is for the +Def PvP IO (Which I already own) which should shore up his defenses to right at the softcap (except AoE which will be a few tenths of a point short).
How does this look overall though for a strictly AoE concept?
Too much endurance drain or will DC make up for it?
