Straight off the bat, I think you need more endurance reduction in summon demons and demon prince. Summon demons has one demon with AoE heal that he likes to spam, and the gargoyle with a resistance debuff aura. Demon prince sucks down the endurance with his two auras. You did a good job of getting the pet bonuses in there. I like your focus on recharge on hell on earth; they don't really do enough damage to enhance.

You went for a lot of global recharge bonus which always helps on dark miasma. Do you have enough to get tar patch and howling twilight recharged for maximum debuffing?

Petrifying gaze isn't the best hold, but it does stack with your dark servant's holds. This leads to my next comment. I like the demon personal attacks for the mastermind, but I would have a very hard time skipping an AoE immobilize and a single target hold at that level. The single target hold stacks with your petrifying gaze and dark servant hold. Some hard targets such as AVs and EBs can be held with enough magnitude of hold applied. Also numerous AVs are susceptible to immobilize even if other controls are heavily resisted. The black scorpion AoE immobilize will also stack with the dark servant's tenebrous tentacles.

Of the three personal attacks available to the mastermind, I like crack the whip the most.

One other observation: I see you four slotted stamina to get the set bonus from performance shifter, but an Acc/Rec in a power that uses neither is a bit of a negative to me when all your other powers are so nicely slotted except the holds

HelinCarnate:OMG it is so terrible. I have the option to take 3 more powers but no additional slots. Boo F'ing hoo.
