edited it so it makes a bit more sense
also i should swap the defence io's in cloak of fear, and hover, for a bit more deffence and endurance. (quick question on mids here, how do i take slotts off powers if i make a mistake?)
Editing helped as it helps to be able to import the build. I have to do a build suggestion for a friend and so would be looking at your ideas. I would suggest doing a search for Maelwys: Nightdagger build to see if you can take from it doing a power by power comparison and taking into account what matters to an experienced player of those sets.
The planned build you have is "very expensive" and would require a lot of influence and a lot of game time to acquire. You can "gimp" a build with IO sets as there are trades for bonuses you maybe making that just aren't worth it.
He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.
Well you may be able to afford the build when you've made your 1st billion or so. Medicine pool is useless, you have dark regen. Miracle needs to be in Health, its no help in dark regen. If you want to pvp, then these probabl;y aren't the sets for you. Dark regen is not a good heal for pvp as you need to hit, and need more enemies for larger heals.
Energy Torrent is by far the best power you can take from any epic pool in this build. With it you can own mobs meant for far larger teams, without it you will die. Lots of other things 'wrong' in the build, asShannon said, see Maelwys build in the guides section, its an exceelnt reference point.
Oh, I got a plug! 
Strengths of Spines/DA are really -
(i) Varied Mitigation (Mainly Dark Regen, Shields and Oppressive Gloom)
(ii) Lots of AoE damage (Death Shroud, Quills, Throw Spines, Ripper, Spine Burst)
Weaknesses-
(i) No Knockback protection.
(ii) Tends to die soloing bosses. Particularly Energy Damage ones.
Things the combo is really, really good at include Tanking Psionic or End Draining mobs (Sappers, Psi Clockwork, Carnies, etc) and mowing down vast numbers of lower rank enemies. Things it's not so good at are enemies that hit really hard and have lots of HP (Bosses, EBs).
You'll want to slot up Dark Regen for a LOT of Endurance reduction, and also probably want to pick up Air Superiority whilst you're levelling (helps LOADS with soloing bosses). Beyond that, it's really up to you. Personally, I build mine as a Psionic AV tanker and AoE damage specialist.

Hey there im a new poster and a relatively new player, been having a look round the forums, which introduced me to mids', which i quite frankly love.
1E9EDGCYHLNUYL'U>EUD/'L.KG*^4]*0\$[
V)X;>SE,=$'0??`?]4
Anyway i have a serious case of altitis and i hope this scrapper might provide some relief.
The General concept is to be a jack of all trades (well at 50 at least) Capable of throwing down a reasonable ranged chain, a reasonable melee chain, some controll, and plenty of aoe. Id like to try it out with pvp too.
Reasons for sets:
Spines - Well its got impale (which i frankly love), Slows, And lots of different options.
DA - It covers up my ugly (spines) toon, it has an amazing heal, its resistance based and it has a damage aura
Hope you like it.
