Dark/Dark/Soul Stalker Rebuild

I got my Dark/Dark stalker to 50 many months ago, and then promptly shelved him while I played toons that were actually able to contribute to teams. Other than the occasional foray into a TF to work on shard-gathering (and I still haven't gotten enough for a tier 3 alpha), he's been gathering dust. The proposed I22 changes have piqued my interest, though, so I figured it was time for a rebuild.

I aimed primarily for smash/lethal soft-cap, and almost got there (43.7%). I didn't think the last 1.3% was worth the sacrifices necessary to put the IO sets I need into mule powers. With either Agility or Nerve alpha I'd be soft-capped anyway, and I also have Shadow Meld, which when active soft-caps me to everything but psionic. I figure as long as I'm not trying to tank, that should be sufficient, especially with Siphon Life and Dark Regen to refill health when something gets through.

I skipped both Cloak of Fear and Oppressive Gloom. Neither seems all that useful for a low-HP melee toon, unless you're trying to stack them with some other character's control. More defense and more damage seemed more helpful.

Any comments or suggestions? Thanks in advance!

First of all your build is awesome. Probably why no one commented in a while. My playstyle is a little different than yours I think you KB protection was a little over done I slotted just one Steadfast KB protection and 1 Karma KB, used the slot in Oppressive gloom. I love Oppressive gloom I have the power on my Dark/Dark/Dark Def so I had to slot it. Def went down a bit but still at 45%. Also I went Energy Mastery to bring the End consumption down a bit and I 3 slotted Hasten. Like I said I love your build, if I wasn't a perma Hasten lover i'd run with yours.

Thanks, Steel. I've gotten the build in place now, but haven't run anything significant in a while. (Too busy with other games obtained over the holidays!) Still, on a few tip missions he seems to run really well. The real test will come once I22 is out and I have incentive to run some teams with him.
