DM/INV build, lvl 34: help needed!

Allright,
what I'm going to show is the current build of my DM/Inv scrapper, as I found her after years of absence.
As you'll notice, it's prior issue 19 (I was playing in 2006), so Fitness is *not* inherent for her.

After the advice I got here, I'm planning to take all the powers in the INV set.
From DM, I think I'll skip Confront only.
This said, what's the best way to proceed? In the specific:

1. Once I have decided the powers, when it's better to respec? Now or later? (I have a free respec + the untouched second build)
2. Are there problems with the slots? (I'm a little worried about those 6 slots in Unyielding.. too many? What about the 4 slots on Hasten? Any other problems I'm not seeing?)
3. Darkness Mastery would work well with this character concept.. are those powers decent and would they fit this build? And: would I be ok without conserve power?

On top of this I'm still learning about the IO's @.@
Anyway, here it is:

Use a respec or use your second build. It doesn't matter which.

First thing is you definitely don't want to four-slot Hasten. Three slots at the most, and two if you have a very high Recharge build. As for the rest of the slots placed so far, won't really know how much they'll help you out until you place some goodies in em'.

You'll be fine without Conserve Power or Physical Perfection. The main thing you'll need to do is just be aware of your Endurance bar and use a blue Inspiration as needed. Slot with Endurance Reduction in mind and that will get you far. At level 50 you can then get the Cardiac Alpha boost to give you more breathing room, as it were. The blasts in Darkness Mastery aren't that good, but you can place some great IO sets within the APP's various powers.

More about Conserve Power and Physical Perfection: Dark Consumption will likely make them unnecessary. It really is that good.

A bit of info on what you want to do would help us suggest things for the build. Basically, how do you like to play? You want to face tough bosses/elite bosses mano a mano? Jump into large spawns and just see seas of enemies? Chase high level mobs or are you happy sticking to mobs your level? All that, just a feel of how you like to play.

I'm here taking notes ^_^

Bass, thanks for that!

Jumping in the middle of large spawns and chasing high level mobs?

(would help to have enhancements) Not sure why you didn't show what enhancements you have, plan to have.

As far as a leveling build advice: I would say make sure you slot for endurance reduction. I would drop shadow punch. I find that in low levels having Siphon Life, Smite and Shadow Maul give me enough attacks to use to not need/want shadow punch.

Here is a leveling build I threw together using my experience with my DM/invuln leveling. I tried to put the slots in when I thought I would do it in game. The actual IO levels really do not matter, but the IO sets are rather cheap and I avoided rare IOs so that the crafting would be cheap as well. This is pretty much what my toon looked like when it was leveling.
