What about Mace Mastery blasts?

Here's my dilemma: I have a currently 44 Battle Axe/Willpower Brute who, out of having nothing else to take in the 40s, has been planned to have Swift, Hurdle, Health and I think Hasten. Thing is, none of those actually require many slots, so I've been sprinkling slots all over the place, even where I don't need them. At the same time, because I run a build without any recharge slotting, I'm kind of short on attacks from time to time.

Now, one solution to this would obviously be to just slot things for recharge, but I don't want to do that at this point. Not all of my powers have the slots free on them. This isn't a question of not having enough slots to go around, but rather a question of them already being 6-slotted with other things. I could take Hasten, but this is temporary, at best. Or I could take more attacks.

Now, I've been eyeing up Mace Blast for some time, but it seems that a some point we got the ability to recolour our maces which wasn't there last time I tried it, and now that I can use a white mace to go with my white axe, I'm seriously considering doing this. It'll take a respec to get out of Scirocco's pool, but the point remains.

The question, though, is what do I take out of it? I don't want utility powers, so all that really leaves from the set is Mace Blast and Disruptor Blast. But do I grab both of them, just one of them (and which one?) or do I just screw 'em and go with what I had planned already? I'm asking, because reshuffling the slots around won't be a very pleasant experience, but it would be easily doable. Suffice it to say I won't miss Hurdle.

Right now, Brute single-target attack endurance efficiency is around 8-ish, with Mace Blast being around 6-ish, and AoE efficiency is around 3, with Disruptor Blast's efficiency being around 1. Basically, I lose two points of efficiency on each power, but that shouldn't be a problem, since I have Quick Recovery for that. However, this doesn't give me a better contender.

In terms of DPS, Mace Blast scores around 5 with Disruptor Blast scoring around 5, so that's not promising. DPA-wise, though, Mace Blast is at 27 while Disruptor Blast is at 20, so even two targets hit makes Disruptor Blast better. On the other hand, the power has a 34 second recharge which, even with slotting, does not impress me.

So, basically, I don't know. Should I bother with these? Which one should I get for my efforts?

If you took both mace blasts, that would mean more time between redraws, which would help. Disruptor blast has a nice cone and does pretty good damage, you might not like the knockback though, same for blast, but no cone. My EnM/WP brute had mace for a while, but I always had the grass-is-greener feeling about the Mu pool, and wound up taking that. white axe/white mace sounds badass though.

whoops! I was thinking of the MM mace. my bad....

I dunno, health is good, but hasten.....it's hasten! Oh man I see your dilema!

Maybe try a dual build to test it out? Picturing it myself, the KB and redraw would drive me batty. Just KB would be tolerable, and just redraw would be tolerable, but both....ugh.

Is health getting combined with Fast healing? Maybe skip resurgence if it hasn't been skipped already? There has to be some move in the build that you can get away with skipping, but it sounds like a tight build so far.
