If memory serves, I think you need about 75% recharge with Hasten and ED-maxed recharge enhancement in Hasten and AM. So, assuming you've got SB all the time, Hasten and AM both well slotted for recharge, you should only need 25-30% global recharge for AM to be perma. I'd personally still aim for the 70ish % recharge while solo as an endgame goal.
Secondly, yes. It uses a lot of endurance for a very weak and unreliable effect. It's better on Controllers who have better mezzes to stack it with and might be in melee anyway (like a Fire/Rad).
For a Corr its largely a waste, outside of a set mule or maaaybe for stacking with Ice/ holds.

You answered your own question, really - you're not going to be in melee range often enough to make it worthwhile.

I suppose I only have myself to blame for not mentioning this, but I hadn't planned on taking Hasten (Though, without Choking Cloud, I'd have a spot and slots for it.) I was just hoping to see how much recharge I'd need with Just ED-maxed AM and SB. Hasten would be an option, but unless I pull off perma-hasten in the process (Which I think is possible...), Hasten would do nothing but drive me crazy.|

As a note, I do have a build that could have both perma AM and Hasten, SB not required, but the thing gets expensive, and I'm not sure how effective the thing would be...Maybe a second build. I don't know.

As I slowly work my level-pacted DP/Rad, I'm starting to get a good look at a powerset I've otherwise ignored, and in planning my build, there's a few things I would like to know for how effective I slot things.
First, since I'd pacted to a DP/Kin, if I'm constantly under Speed Boost (50% recharge) and counting for Accelerate Metabolism (30%), how much more recharge would I need to get perma-AM? Regardless on the answer, I would be planning for more, but I figured it'd be nice to know the bare minimum I'd need.
