Have you given though to how you will be playing the toon. There are two main Dual Blades build styles. The first would be actually doing Combos. In this build you'll probably want 7/8 of the attacks, skipping Nimble Slash. This still gives you all the attacks to use "Attack Vitals" and "Sweep" with a Blinding Feint tossed in between each combo for damage buffing. This is a moderately effective strategy.
The second is not doing what the Devs say, and ignoring the combo system. You focus on tons of recharge so you can use Ablating Strike (6sec recharge) every other attack. Blinding Feint -> Ablating Strike -> Sweeping Strike -> Ablating Strike. This strategy DOES A LOT MORE SINGLE TARGET DPS, but involves a lot more recharge, and thus key build differences. If we know how you're gonna play we can advise.

How to suck at CoX
Literally the Best Build Ever: Years in the Making
Is going to go with using combos b/c I think that is a more feasible goal than getting insane rech.
I dont expect to be tanking the biggest and baddest AVs or farming like the pros but I want to be able to tank most PVE content with needing much help outside popping the odd insp.

I dont expect someone to make a build for me but I would like some advice on goals. Ive never really played either set past its 20s and that was all before elec's revamp. Im going to be investing heavily into this toon so virtually no expense will be spared. PVP IOs are out of the question but Im willing to go for purple sets once he's 50.
He's a concept that uses the elements(fire elemental and ice sword) and protects himself with lightning.
Some things I was thinking of going for..
-at least 30% S/L/F/C defense...I know elec has great resistances but I learned the value of layered defenses playing the hell outta my stone/wp brute
-as much rech as possible, minimum 60% global rech
-Incarnates
Alpha-Spiritual or Resilient
Judgement-Ion or Pyro
Interface-Reactive
Destiny-Barrier or Rebirth..leaming at Rebirth as Oh Sh*t heal
