Critique and Advice for SJ/DA..a bad idea?

Well, I have this themed toon I've always wanted to build, and held onto the name for a few years now anticipating that SJ or something like it would eventually come out. IT FINALLY DID!

However, as I haven't worked with DA in a long, long time, since building my SS/DA brute like a thousand years ago, I had forgotten what an inexcusably huge endurance hog it is. Not even sure if this build is viable, but I'd very much appreciate it if one of you forumites would take a look at it and see if you can plug the holes.

Here's the rough draft.

I think the only problem you'll have is definitely the endurance issue you pointed out.

There's a couple of ways of dealing with that though.

You'll definitely have to go cardiac. That alone helps a ton. Going body mastery to pick up conserve power and physical perfection can be really useful too. Conserve power is great for those drawn out fights.

Ageless is another ability you can take from the incarnates to help out with your endurance consumption.

Finally, an issue with street justice is that the attacks are just so fast that you can easily burn through your endurance bar if you don't throttle yourself sometimes. This will probably be even more the case when paired with dark armor.

It'll come down to how many endurance reducing/recovering powers you go with and whether or not you can adapt the blue bar mini game to your play style.

I have a level 50 stj/dark brute that i have i'od out. I'm not completly satisfied with the build but it's sufficient. Until you get some Io's in it...its a very very tough ride endurance wise. Now that i'm level 50 i really no longer have END issues. My recovery rate is 3.89 seconds and my End useage is like 1.54. This is allowed me to go the spiritual tree on the alpha. Also i just got my tier 4 ageless which means i have no END issues at all anymore.
I am not soft capped on s/l...its at around 35%...1 small purple is all i need to soft cap.
On the op's build i see 2 things that i would change. 1st i would be frankenslotting dark regeneration with 6 slots and the awesome THEFT OF ESSENCE + END proc. Dark regen really needs a good amount of acc/end/rech/and to a lesser extent heal. It is a huge END Hog and the way its currently slotted his blue bar will go down to nothing very quickly.
The other thing i woud change is swapping manuevers for combat jumping. Maneuvers defenses are not much higher than combat jumping but its END cost is much much higher.
Here is the build i am currently using....i will most likely be respecing to get the soul mastery powers now that i have tier 4 ageless. I just havnt figured out a build i like yet.

I'm sorry it took so long for me to get back to you guys, mostly to thank you for posting. I just went on leave and it took me a few internetless days to get back to civilization. Your build advice has been helpful, I'll post what I come up with after a second pass as soon as I find time to do it.
