I guess you are going for Darkest Night and some set bonuses for defense and the stacking with the -tohit in your attacks to generate as much effective defense as possible. I guess that is cool, seems interesting. However, you seem to be doing it at the expense of some of your powers. Also, some of your powers seem slotted a bit weird.

Here are some specific complaints:

* Your blazing aura is totally unslotted. So running it would be foolish which means taking it is foolish unless you commit to using it.

* Your resists for plasma shield could be better.

* The recharge on soul drain is low. I would think you'd want to max the recharge on it since it really helps your damage potential.

* You didnt slot midnight grasp for damage, which I feel is a mistake. It is a fantastic damage power.

* You probably took Firey Embrace WAY too late. It really helps your damage, and damage is the main thrust of the AT. I would take it sooner.

* I'd personally take Hasten much sooner if I were going to take it.

Well, those are the things that jump out at me. I'd personally probably build for recharge more than anything else, so that I could get my Healing Flames, Soul Drain and Burn going as often as possible. I would make defense my secondary concern. I do think Darkest Night and Soul Mastery is a good choice.

Good luck!

I think you would be better off pursuing S/L defense to around 30% or more.

Beyond getting access to Darkest Night, the whole point of taking Soul Mastery for brutes on a DM/FA is get access to Gloom, Dark Obliteration (to supplement DM's lack of AoE) in addition to Soul Tentacle. You took Soul Tentacles but its poorly slotted as an AoE attack.

IMO your defensive approach is probably better suited for a DM/FA scrapper with access to Shadow Meld. With 15% defense to all + the 30% in Shadow Meld you could essentially have softcap on demand on a similar scrapper build.

The only thing I can recommend for your build is to invest in a Steadfast Protection +Def All IO and since you can afford the Hecatomb set I will also recommend the Galdiator's Armor +Def All IO as well.
