I would keep Body Mastery. Conserve Power and Physical Perfection are great for /SR.

Body Mastery is probably best if you want to solo AVs and what not.
Weapon Mastery is pretty nice for MA/SR, though, as it gives you Caltrops which is a very strong mitigation tool against anything short of an AV; and it gives you Exploding Shuriken, which is a welcome boost to AoE damage output.
Plus it's got a kind of Bat-caltrops and exploding Bat-shuriken kind of vibe, if you're into that. Or you could go the whole ninja route.
I used to have Weapon Mastery back in the day, but somewhen along the line I updated and respecced into Body to better solo AVs.
To me, there is only two ways to go- Body or Weapons. The first is more useful overall, but the second has some great thematic possiblities.

Pretty much this, though you could always explain away some of the more extreme affects of the other APPs. Blaze and Dark mastery could both be explained by saying that your character learned a little bit of magic from all of his exposure to the CoT. One of the nice things about the APPs is that, because they appear so late in your character's life, they don't necessarily have to be explained by your primary origin.|

If you're looking for straight up optimization, Body Mastery is pretty much the way to go though. CP, FA, and PP are all incredible powers and the Scrapper APP ranged attacks all pretty much suck.
I took Petrifying Gaze and 4-slotted it. It was the only epic power I wanted. Between Petrifying Gaze, Cobra Strike and softcapped defenses ... Malta and Carnies are essentially breakfast cereals.
It's the end. But the moment has been prepared for ...
My MA/SR took Torrent from Dark Mastery. It's her ki-ai or spirit shout, able to throw a crowd into a wall. Ancient masters were rumored to be able to knock birds out of trees with their shouts.
In practical terms, it's not a widely useful power, but there are times when it's really nice to neutralize a bunch of guys for a short period -- I've especially employed it against ugly custom foes with Build-Up in Architect missions.

I'd probably go for Blaze Mastery just to get Fire Ball. From my experience with MA, its AoE is a bit lacking.
