ELM\ELA Brute Build

Hello, this is my first serious attempt at building a IO set build for one of my characters as I'm relatively new to the game.
As the title says I'm trying to come up with a build for my Electric Melee\Electric Armour Brute.

What I'm aiming for is Perma-Haste, as close to or Perma-Energize if possible and as high as possible Smashing and Lethal Defense.
Currently I have Energy Mastery for my Ancillary Pool but I'm not completely set on it though need to be "sold" on another pool.

Below is my current build, I've already got the Perma-Haste and I'm 1.8 seconds off perma-Energize and I think 7.5% off S/L softcap?
I am planning on going with Spiritual Core Paragon in my A-Slot and am happy to deal with the gap until I get it.
The main problems I've been having is at least in my attempts, is having to drop sets into my damage abilities that while giving either S/L defense or Recharge but giving no damage through the enhancement itself to the power. (Perfect Zinger in Thunderstrike for example).

Any comments, suggestions and help would be greatly appreciated, thank you for your time.

Can you post the build longform? Those of us on Macs can't use Mids.

I can be found, outside of paragon city here.
Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.

If you're new to the game, I just want to make sure you're aware that 2 Kinetic Combat sets, a Hecatomb set of 5 and an Armegeddon set of 5 are not cheap.

It looks like you've still got 5 slots to play with, by the way.

I'd put 5 Doctored Wounds in Energize, maxing out recharge.

You seem to have ignored Lightening Field, it's a good source of damage and taunt.

You gave a priority of capping s/l (which is currently 20% from soft-cap of 45%, not the 7.5% you mentioned).

I've made a few various hypothetical builds for my elec/elec brute. Here's one to soft-cap s/l. Yes, I know that it doesn't actually soft-cap it (42%) but it's a Glad Armor away, which I'd probably slot if I were to use this build. I don't, in actuality, use this build on live and I'm not recommending it, it's just for show to getting to soft-cap.

Any ballpark figure on how expensive those sets would be?
I have 600M stored up as I've been pretty indecisive with my characters up to now getting 4 or 5 to high 30s and low 40s. This is also the only 50 I have and probably will have for quite some time.

I had 5 slots left over because I didn't know what to do with them same with lightning field.

After playing around with the build some more and accepting the fact it would me too much to get the last 2 seconds off perma-energize, which when I thought about it isn't that big of a deal to me anyway, I came up with this.

I managed to get my S/L defense to 32.8% while keeping hasten permanent and making some better slot uses I think.

If anyone has any comments or critiques I'd really appreciate it as I have no idea what I'm doing.
Also final concern with this newer build is that I hardly slot my pool powers (1 in FA 2 in Phys. Perf. and none in Superior Conditioning)
I want/wanted that pool because I'm intending on taking Spiritual Alpha instead of Cardiac and with all the toggles I would run I'm using 2.41 end/sec while only recovering 3.29 end/sec which I know isn't as big of a deal as it would be if I didn't have power sink.
If someone wants to sell me on another power pool, I'd be all ears.

Thankyou again for your time and consideration.
