Its not bad really, a webmaster with pets so more of an orbweaver. If you put mental training last then you can afford more slots in other powers + by not going for the v expensive sets you'd be able to afford more of the less expensive sets for that build and have a similar omega maneuver.
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.
Take Crab Spider Armor at lvl 1 in place of Wolf Spider Armor - they're identical except the Crab Armor has mag4 protection compared to the Wolf Armor's mag2 protection, and Fortification provides mag8 protection, so Wolf Armor has very little to offer.
Take Combat Training
efensive at the newly opened slot at lvl 4 - it provides a passive 7.5% defence to range, which is where you're going to be most of the time as a Crab.
Finally, find more slots for Fortification - it provides a base 15% resistance to smashing and lethal and 25% resistance to everything else except psi, it's well worth slotting that resistance up (to give an idea of how good this is, it's essentially Unyielding from Invulnerability, for Tankers no less, except slightly lower endurance consumption and the resistances from the three Invulnerability passives rolled in for free - all it's missing is the knockback protection)
Ah yes, and speaking of knockback protection, squeezing a Steadfast, Karma or Blessing of the Zephyr knockback protection IO will keep you safe from the vast majority of knockback out there - I have the Steadfast knockback and defence IOs in my Crab Armor.
Most important of all, enjoy yourself - Crabs are jolly good fun
