Which power to take next? SS/ElecA

Righty, stomped through 28 and 30 to get combat jumping and superjump, and had a thought, why not take air superiority over one of my current attacks (jab or punch, yes also have haymaker and KO blow) to get fly as my travel power, thus freeing up one of my 28 or 30 slots for another power?
Don't have a builder so cant paste a funky pretty thing but atm I look like this:
SS: Jab, Punch, Haymaker, KO Blow, Rage
ElA: Charged Armour, Conductive Shield, Static Shield, Grounded, Lightning Reflexes
Also: Stimulant, Aid Self; Swift, Hurdle, Stamina; Combat Jumping, Superjump

Now, I'm told AS is a great attack, only reason I didn't get it before was because I liked the smashy effects and sounds of my SS attacks, call me a girl later :P, but when I respec and grab AS and Fly, which one shoudl I replace, Jab or Punch? Would be more inclined to replace Jab as that's the lower damage of the two, can fill in with brawl but with LR and rec.red in them punch comes up pretty damn quick anyway.
So let's say I do that, which power should I take? Was thinking of taking Lightning Field, but how is it damage wise? With fury and all that does it make noticeable damage? Or is it just an endurance drain for no noticeable effect? Was thinking about Handclap but no idea at all how that is, haven't heard about it much on the forums so can only imagine no-one takes it, thus it isn't too good (or there's a better choice at any time out there).
Of course I could replace both Jab and Punch, for Boxing and AS, leading the way to Fly as well as Tough.. but that seems, I dunno, a bit, well, dunno lol, thoguhts please?
Already have 32, 35, and 38 mapped out for Footstomp, Power Sink, Power Surge.
Tried going withotu a travel power using sprint+swift+LR, but really a bit meh for my liking, used my temp travel powers til I hit 29 when they all ran out, rest of 29 til 30 only running ghetto-superspeed just felt a bit meh, I wants my travel powers!

Anyhow, any particaulr power I should chop and change and not miss out on?

I'd get rid of jab.
You're more likely to keep one of those enemys of yours on their back with a quick air supiriority > punch > haymaker combo.

Jab is kinda beautiful though...a quick WHAM! right in the kidneys...

hehe yea does look nice, kidney punch kidney punch!!!
was also thinking of maybe hasten..
i know ill regret whatever i take tho and wait til 44 for another respec :P
btw is there a limit ont he numebrs of respecs you can achieve? or can you do the task multiple times per lvl range to get them?

You can earn a total of 4 respecs I think, 3 from various respec task force, 1 at 24, 1 at 34 and 1 at 44, plus when you complete your patron arc and recieve your patron accolade you get one then.

This, apart from freespecs handed out at major issues is it.

Not out of the box. I have 3 recharges in there that I used for soft control (Total Focus + Energy Torrent plus all the goodies in /dark render it a bit moot now). 3 is overkill but either hasten or a recharge and you're good to go.

Lightning field will be better, for damage over time and damage / endurance, than any other attack you use.

Rage + Foot stomp + Lightning field = crazy AoE. If you pick your Patron AoE later, it almost feel like a spines scrapper.
