Dark/Dark Build - Requesting Critique

I'dve posted this over in the Build Workshop forum, but... it really seems pretty dead, to me, so I'm thinking the Corruptor one will work out better.

I've had a Dark/Dark Corruptor shelved for about as long as CoV has been around, and I've recently become somewhat taken with her again, so I've been mulling over a build, but I have limited experience with Dark Miasma and absolutely none with Dark Blast.

I think I've got something pretty good going here, but I'd love more experienced eyes to point out problem areas to me.

PROs:

  1. S/L/E Def Soft-capped
  2. Perma-Hasted
  3. Musculature Radial Paragon gives a bit of extra damage as well as extra -tohit that effects basically every power in the combo, and also allows light slotting for Stamina
  4. KB protection capped

CONs:
  1. Pretty much all Negative Energy damage, meaning weak against anything strong to that
  2. Blackstar underslotted (not the biggest fan of crash nukes though, only really took it for a set mule)
  3. Virtually no benefit from APP/PPP except Defense, meaning there's less AoE or utility here than I could have with another pool
  4. ...? (Tell me what I'm missing!)

Any critiquing is much appreciated.
Thanks!

Since it's been several days with no reply, I'm going to bump this in the hopes that someone will respond :X Perhaps I will try cross-posting to the Build Workshop if this doesn't work.
