Tweaking a WM/WP build...

So I've been toying with a brute that I'd want to take on as a long-term project for quite some time with only mild success at best, but I've finally rolled one that I think I want to stick with for the long haul. I started up a WM/WP brute and with some help from older forum posts put together an ideal build. This is a long-term character project, so cash concerns aren't a factor.

S/L and E/N defense values are just over the soft-cap with the secondary focus being to raise max HP. I'm thinking of going down the Spiritual Alpha slot tree both for the recharge and boost to HP/regen. My biggest uncertainty is endurance. Any thoughts as to whether my endurance would hold up with this current build? Of course, advise or tweaks of any kind are very much appreciated. I have very little hands-on experience with both WM and WP.

Thanks!

I really wouldn't even bother with hasten on a WP unless you are building for high DPS.
Swapped out a few things for you here. Still softcap to S/L/E/N and up your HP and regen a bit. Maybe it'll give you some ideas.

Very interesting. Thanks Iggy! I'm not sure I want to give up hasten, but I'm also not committed to it just yet. I'll see how the character plays with and without before I decide. The level of hp/regen you squeezed out there is definitely a substantial upgrade. Also, I felt that my accuracy might be hurting on higher level foes so Tactics seems like a good choice. I'll definitely keep these tips in mind!

Any further input would be greatly appreciated.
