Where Should I Put My Dominion Of Arachnos Set?
I would put the new AT set in Shatter. You have exceeded the Rule of Five with 5% Recharge bonuses, so Crushing Impact is not doing much good anyway.
Other observations:
Your endurance slotting is FAR less efficient than if could be. You've overslotted Stamina with useless accuracy and recharge bonuses in order to gain a trivial 0.04 End/sec from a set bonus. Meanwhile, you've done nothing to offset the massive 0.39 End/sec cost of Maneuvers (Pool) or the 0.33 End/sec of Weave.
Impervious skin is a really poor set in general, and horrible for Wolf Spider Armor. Even if you genuinely needed the 5% Recharge (you don't), Impervious Armor mostly enhances Endurance Cost and Recharge, both of which are utterly useless in an auto power like Wolf Spider Armor. What little it does do for damage resistance is weakened by the fact that it's a level 30 set. I think two slots of Impervium Armor is plenty of slotting for this power.
Bane Spider Armor Upgrade is good enough to enhance, but I think you've pushed it too far into the red for too little benefit. You've enhanced it even more than Tough, and Tough has much better base values. The 2.25% max End set bonus is not as good as simply fixing your worst endurance hog powers. All of your melee attacks have an extra slot available to either finish out the set or do some frankenslotting for greater accuracy, endurance discount, or whatever.
Two purples in boxing just to get 0.07 End/sec? It's a waste of infamy and an enhancement slot that could be used to improve a power that you actually use in every fight. You could even reduce the endurance cost of a big one like Shatter Armor and come out ahead on endurance.
(However, I will defy conventional wisdom and not tell you that you must take Venom Grenade.)

Well, I tried to fix my build above and I'm still having trouble with it. My goals? Perma hasten, all defenses to at 45% or better, and good resistance, as well as fairly balanced recovery and regen. I'm happy with the power selections, and would like advice on the best alpha slot for this build. I plan to run this build doing mostly level 50 content. Please help. MAIN GOAL: FIX THE SLOTTING FOR BETTER ENDURANCE MANAGEMENT.

I do not know why you are slotted so weird in stam. You have 4 slots and no proc where 3 slots would give 95% endmod and a proc.
edit: stam has 0 use for rech or acc. Why are you slotting for it? The +recov from 4 slotting (2.5%) is completely negligble in comparision to a flat 95% and a proc (which is missing).

Without knowing what your new and improved build looks like, I can't be too specific. But if it's anything like your old build, you need to seriously reduce the cost of the most endurance-hungry toggles. They were beeding you dry.
Ok, with the help of BigFeeler's post, here is what I've come up with. I still don't know if we fixed the endurance usage problem or not, or made it worse than my original build. Anyways, here is:

Ok, I'm pretty much happy with this bane build, it's got great defense all around, and is perma hasten. This is my secondary/dual build, that I intend to play kind of tank/scrapper/stalker style. My primary build, is perma hasten/all perma pets crabspider. This bane build, is pretty much all melee really with no pets. What I'd like to know is where to put the Dominion of Arachnos set in it. Alpha slot is to help with the accuracy (which is horrible without Nerve slotted) and to help boost defense. I know the resistance could maybe be boosted as well. Here's the build, comments are welcome:
