Is this very cheap bots/dark build viable for AV(GM) killing?

First glance, fluffy doesn't have enough slots. I six slot the dark servant. I don't usually slot for anything other than tohit debuff sets. While the dark servant holds and heals sometimes, everything he throws out there has a tohitdebuff component.
If you are pushing stamina to 24, you might as well pick up fearsome stare at 20, health at 22.
Other than those nitpicky things the build looks very solid.

HelinCarnate:OMG it is so terrible. I have the option to take 3 more powers but no additional slots. Boo F'ing hoo.
Thx for the reply. I actually respecced this evening. Got too bored with my old build.
I actually did some testing: Two Pylon runs, times were 4:35 and 4:08. I'm fine with that, tho I'm gonna try again after I manage to get two more nucleoluses.
Ice Mistral was really easy 5:15. Scirocco was much meaner with his tornados and endu drains. I forgot to turn the clock on, but I estimate the figth was around 10 mins. The sucker kept killing my bots with those tornados all the time. 1st run he was <10% when he got lucky combination of two hits in a row the same times tornados killed most of my bots. I already grave for some more defence 
That would prolly have been a lot easier fight if I'd used some inps (purples/blues).
So yes, this build is enough for some av's but I have some doubts regarding GM's. Perhaps after solving some l2p issues I'll give a try.
Okay I realize now how noobish my question was regarding to AV killing with even decent MM build. I haven't (yet) killed more than four AV's and I had to try twice for one of them. But I managed to get my first ever (solo) GM kill just some minutes ago: Eochai. I don't know whether he can be counted as "real" GM but nevertheless I'm happy that I was able to nail GM with myt 1st attempt ever. Edit: checked time from screenshots; the fight was abt 15 mins.
To be honest it was not 100% pure solo kill. When Eochai was ~50% lvl 29 arachnos soldier joined the fight, but I belive I can still count this kill as solo one
My build still lacks the Miracle +recovery (and three additional Hamidons from prot bot that I'm gonna put there) so I belive build's current worth is still below 200m.
This AT really is a beast! 
Edit: Killed him again. 8mins 20secs this time with better positioning. I guess I have to try some other GM to see whether Eochai really qualifies as such.
Edit2: Ghost of Scrapyard down now. 1st try again. But the fight was a long one, 35mins. I failed to find a decent spot. Had to kill a HUGE bunch of miners the same time that I was fighting with th Ghost.
As the title says, this is very cheap lvl 50 build, propably less than 200m without Numina +recovery IO. I left basic Health slot empty for the mentioned IO. This is my first villain so I'm still very low with cash.
I've build it with speed pool instead of flight (or leaping) for three reasons. a) faster grinding; I dont have to wait 45secs for Tar Patch and next group b) to get HT up as fast as possible for AV (and possible GM) fights. c) This is much much cheaper than the build I'd like to use without speed pool.
Obvious weaknesses are at least a) Lowish effective endurance gain (could it be enough without blues now or after slotting Numina +recovery??) b) Though rng and aoe are going to be softcapped with bubble and debuffs s/l/melee isn't quite softcapped.
My current build is quite close to this but defensively speaking slotting is much more horrible. Still pylon was peace of cake without temps/insps. So I started to wonder whether I could already build at least semi-good AV/GM soloer with very limited founds.
So here you go. Please comment!
