This is what I'm using ... rather successfully. Lack of purples makes the build (relatively) cheap(er) to accomplish, although you'll probably need a huge pile of Merits to buy set IOs for many of the rarer enhancements. Whole thing hangs together surprisingly well though.

It's the end. But the moment has been prepared for ...
I love my human form on my Tri-form Warshade, but it's probably the hardest o the three forms to figure out. I slotted my Nova up for ranged damage, I slotted my Warshade for duking it out in melee, and I made my human form so that it could Support, Stealth, Stun, Survive, and SLAM!
Support - Sunless Mire and Eclipse boost damage and Resistance for all forms, Stygian Circle is a great recovery power, and Dark Extraction gives you pets that help you fight in all forms.
Stealth - Super Speed and Shadow Cloak will let you go almost everywhere, only fearing Drones or other enemies with very high Perception. This will let you go straight through to the important part of a mission, and then teleport your entire team to your location.
Stun - Gravitic Emanation and Inky Aspect let you herd enemies into a corner and stun everything other than a boss. Useful both on teams and solo, since you can immediately hop back into Nova form and gleefully blast them to shreds while stunned.
Survive - Nebulous Form will let you get out of just about ANY jam as long as you have the foresight to predict a team wipe. When I see two mobs run towards my 3 person team that is already engaging another two, and the scrapper drops, I fire off Nebulous Form and Super Speed and escape to safety, teleporting my team mates to where they can rez. Also, using Nebulous Form makes it easy to use Sunless Mire and Eclipse without relying on a tanker.
SLAM! - Using your TP foe power, it's easy to pull an enemy to your location and use Gravity Well just as they appear, leaving the enemy at your mercy. After it's dead, you have a valuable and versatile tool: Its body. Pulling enemies near the body and then using Unchain Essence on it is a great way to open up on a mob. Human form can incapacitate enemies and then deal nice burst damage, provided you choose the right attacking powers.
That's how mine runs, anyway.
Too many alts to list.
So, I wanted to tweak my level 50 Warshade build through a respec but keep running in the same problem. I want to maintain the current dominance of the Squid aka Dark Nova and my Rino (some call it a lobster, personally I think it looks more like a Rino) aka Black Dwarf and whatever powers are left to slot, to go to the human side.
The big bugaboo is having powers on my human side that I never will use but it seems I am somewhat "forced" into picking them as my other builds are maxed/slotted out. I thought about maybe giving my travel powers mainly to my human form as I have been using my squid mostly for flying around and rarely ever use my Rino's TP to get anywhere unless I am using him in battle and need to TP on top a platform or such. I think I currently got her with Super Speed as another travel power but everything else seems such a wash.
I guess I have to look and evaluate how my Warshade will be used. I know stealth is nice but not sure what works best with steath, maybe Super Speed as I would be hard to view while moving? The other thought that crossed my mind was what if I tried to make my Human Side the dominate side? Me thinks not so good as the tanking side would suck and she would lack the sheer damage potential of the Squid. Any additional thoughts on this would be great.
