Did you finish this build before posting it? There's a few odd, empty slots.
A couple of quick basics: Are you solo or team-focused? Are you settled on Flight?
(Having tried all of the travel powers on my dark/dark corr, I've find the SS/CJ combo works best for me.)
I wouldn't pick Dark Pit, Moonbeam or Life Drain, esp. on a team build.
Moonbeam falls into the typical arguments surrounding all snipes. If you enjoy it, great, but it's not an effective means of DPS.
Twilight Grasp outshines LD by healing everyone and the Regen debuff is probably about as good as the damage from LD.
I don't know why you need Stamina, Power Sink and Conserve Power. You shouldn't be using that much End. My dark/dark is okay with just Stamina (4-slot it with Perf Shifters and that should be okay).
I'd slot FS for the to-hit debuff and use that as an opener, reserving DN for AVs and bosses. This will save you a ton of Endurance and, in my experience, be slightly more effective.
While I adore Petrifying Gaze, I probably wouldn't get that hold alone. I'd grab an additional one from a patron power pool, and then I can hold most AVs.
I'm not sure if the DWD Proc in Dark Servant will transfer to him, affect him, or be ignored. I think it'll be ignored.
Mace Mastery offers Scorpion Shield, which is a huge amount of S/L/NRG Def. Shadow Fall, Scorp Shield and Weave offer a base 20.8% Def to S/L. With IOs and a couple of set bonuses, you can hit softcap.
Mace Mastery also has Focused Accuracy, so you'll pretty much always hit. I find Scorp Shield and FA very hard to ignore on my corrs, but your mileage may vary. The redraw on Web Envelope and Web Cocoon might turn you off.
I'd always 3-slot Hasten with Recharge Reduction.
I'd suggest a full build, but I'm hazy on redside market prices right now. Aren't Decimations kind of expensive? I don't know.
I completely understand where you are coming from and yeah this build is very very rough with lots of messy mistakes and so forth (like leaving the ST hold in there...)
My logic behind most of it is to max out recharge at all costs...without spending alot of infs in the process. Im not going for a build that is all around pretty good but I want to really push the recharge and general damage potential of the set to its peak...again without spending a tremendous amount on IO's and such.
So the goals are:
*Have Damage be +90~% enhanced on damaging powers.
*Have a high recharge%+Recharge bonus
*Decent accuracy bonus
*near perma-hasten if possible
*Ment to be played solo-given darks nature a solo-build should make a decent Team build at the very least.

However, I think you might be wise to consider survivability vs DPS. You're not a Fire/Fire Blaster. Your best mitigation isn't DPS.
I'm assuming you follow the standard opening of Tar Patch, Fearsome Stare, TT and NF? After that, you should have a mob nice and debuffed and feared/slowed/immobbed, but your damage output is never going to be what's keeping you alive. Your soft controls and debuffs are.
The following suggestion is almost soft-capped to S/L. FS should make up the difference. I left two powers open, and mostly used regular IOs. You should be able to squeeze a few enhancement slots out of using sets there, depending on your budget.

at the moment my only big weakness in this build is in fact endo, with what I got now I can recharge all my debuffs so quickly that lacking Defenses is a non-issue as long as I can clear the alpha strike, which is fairly easy. The chain im running into is FS->Tar->Dark pit->TT->NF->spam Darkblast/gloom on bosses->FS->Tar->... Its rather effective but the end costs are horrendous.

I'm trying to put together a build aimed at dealing damage, fast recharge and just causing baddies to bleed in general. Heres what I got so far, anyone got idea on how I can improve it..Without spending multi-billion on Purples and such.
