Rad/Thermal Rad/Mace Build Critique

So I decided I wanted to try Thermal Radiation for the first time and have been undecided on my overall build. I finally got something I think may work for me but I would like to get some comments on my build before I spend my influence. I wanted Radiation for my primary because I like the look paired with Thermal when recolored, but I'm open to other primary suggestions.

I also wonder if a similar build would be better as a Defender with Sonic Attacks since I seem to have focused a bit more on the defensive side than on recharge/damage. I wanted to focus a bit more on DPS/recharge with my primary (without going Fire Blast or buying purples) but cannot think of many ways to do so without taking hits to my defenses. Will my DPS with this build be so low anyway that I would be better off going Defender for higher buff/heal numbers or will Scourge make enough of a difference with this power combination that the DPS will be at least reasonably higher than going Defender? Since I have no experience with Corruptors, and not a lot with Defenders that are not Kinetics, I would really appreciate some feedback from more experienced players in this department.

I'd remove a Acc from HE.
you could save another slot by putting the stealth proc in Sprint.

As far as your dps..It'd be nice if you could "proc-out" Bolt.

perma jump is ---> /up 1
