This is my latest 50. After reading mixed reviews of Beast Mastery from some testers, I am pleasantly surprised at how effective this combo is. The ride from 1-50 was as smooth as I've had for any toon, across any AT.
As for the atypical attributes you can enhance in pets (defense, resists, slows, stuns, etc), most of those come from sporadic buffs that I personally wouldn't bother enhancing, rather just consider them bonus pet buffs when they happen. Not that enhancing those is a wrong choice, it's just that it would be the last thing I'd enhance.
The first thing I noticed, you were in Mace Mastery but did not take Power Boost. PB just before Farsight is a heaping helping of awesomesauce. With just 1 recharge IO you can be certain PB will be recharged by the time Farsight is ready to be used. I haven't verified, but I'm betting using it boosts Fortify Pack as well.
Times Juncture should be taken waaay earlier, no later than 12 if you want to wait for DOs. This is a great, not good, great power for a Beast MM. Pets are melee, you're in melee. Slows keep mobs from running too far (and beasts will doggedly chase after runners).
In that SO build you provided, I'd want to eek out a little more damage from pets either with a 3rd dmg so or, preferably, a dmg/end pet io.
Similarly, a little more recharge will help a lot for Chrono Shift. Make one of the other IOs Heal/Rch or EndMod/Rch, whichever you prefer. I like boosting up the end mod, personally.
If you took Stealth to be invis, I always prefer a stealth IO in sprint (or equivalent) + SS. Same effect but now you have a free power choice, like Power Boost.
You took two travel powers, which is fine if that's something important to you. I do believe that flight can be achieved just fine with various temps in game. I always use SS for regular movement and a flight pack for verticality. If you omit Fly, you can take something else that will improve your combat performance, something like Combat Jumping. Getting immobilized when you need to heal or buff your pets while they're fighting
can be frustrating. Well, not just frustrating, it can get pets killed.
Just for reference I've attached my build, which I haven't completed yet.

Awesome, thanks for the advice Deacon. Will swap stuff out and re-slot it, then consider it rollalbe

When it comes to slotting something simple like Bots/Traps, I know where I am.
But I have no idea what the powers of the Beast pets are, what slotting does for them, and how really Time works in synergy with that.
So, I've knocked up a quick build, with the power selection and level picks where I am happy with them. I could just use some help knowing what to put in the Beast pets, attacks and some advice on the Time powers ideal slotting.
Any takers?
