Post a data block and use the short export.

This has kind of random slotting; I'm not sure what your goals are. Are you going for softcapped defenses? High recharge? You don't have softcapped SL, nor do you have the proper attacks for a high-end attack chain, so I don't know what you were going for.

Don't neglect enhancement values when you're going for set bonuses. Smite isn't slotted for damage and Siphon Life isn't slotted for healing (or much accuracy); while Mocking Beratement and Kinetic Combat have nice set bonuses, set bonuses won't make up for poorly slotted attacks.

Are you married to Pyre Mastery? Mu or Soul Mastery would give you a good ranged attack and a good AOE for only two power picks.

Here's a start on something a bit more practical. Softcapped S/L defense, properly slotted attacks, and (I believe) enough recharge to run MG > Smite > Gloom > SL > Smite as an attack chain while Hasten's up. It's a bit pricier, since it uses five Kinetic Combat sets, but I removed an Oblit and a Basilisk's set, so that should help somewhat. Dark Consumption could be replaced with Taunt if you wanted, too.
