Looking for a good DM/SR build

I've decided I want to finally give IOs a shot, but I've had a lot of trouble trying to get my 50 to use any. I think the only way I'll ever get into them is if I start a new main from the ground up with IOs in mind

I've decided I want to roll a DM/SR scrapper (with the idea in mind that the -ToHit from DM and the defense from SR will work with each other making me incredibly tough to hit).

The problem is when I load up Mid's I'm completely overwhelmed by the HUGE choice of sets to pick for my powers, so I was wondering if I could get some help from the more IO-experienced crowd on what to pick.

All I really want out of the build in particular is to not be strapped for endurance because if there's one thing I haaaate is running out of endurance.

Otherwise, cost isn't a matter, (Trust me, I've had nothing to spend my inf on for the past 3 years!) so if you're an idealist, go crazy.

Thanks a lot to anyone who helps me out, I appreciate it.

There are going to be newer and better builds, but here's what I had back in I12/I13 for AV soloing as a possible starting point. If I were upgrading, I'd probably at least stick in the PvP 3% defense and 3% resistance uniques and find room for Shadow Maul and hopefully Physical Perfection. It was SPECIFICALLY for AV soloing, so an AoE was an extravagance, but it's pretty lame doing regular play without an AoE. Endurance is sustainable, that being a requirement of AV fights with no inspirations. Hmmm, I'd also go Hurdle instead of Swift and use Ninja Running as my travel power. You should probably consider three Nucleolus and three Golgi in Siphon Life. Most people will want the extra damage more than the extra recharge and a few hit points.

Here's my build on live. It would be extremely expensive to build now but you did say cost was no issue.

- has perma-ish soul drain,
- attack chain is MG>Smite>SL>Smite>MG
- will not be able to run out of endurance, even without DC AND Focussed Accuracy running
- FA not needed really unless you like pulling the whole map of romans that stack defense on each other. In which case you fire up FA + soul drain and mow them down like they didnt have stacked defense
- Energy torrent not used unless you want to know a few people in front of you on their ***** and laugh at them.

Thanks for the builds everyone.

I think I might try out Kiowi's because I'm a fan of fitness stacked with physical perfection. (My main has those AND is a /regen scrapper. )
