Modern Thugs/Poison?

It's been some time since I picked up an MM but I wanted to give this old classic a try - mainly for the notorious Noxious Gas/Bruiser combo. I'd like to maximize the strengths of the /poison by making him a pure debuff monster capable of soloing AVs and GMs while sleepwalking.

How useful is the ATO set? Should I just take the global for the +AOE defense? Where to put it?

Price is no object. Looking for a high-end, high-octane 50 incarnate build and all suggestions are welcome. Thanks!

Poison is a tough set to work with and try to obtain some reasonable goals.

This is a build I was working towards. Nutshell the -ToHit Debuff of Weakness power if it hits and works will put me at positional defense cap. I picked up Scorpion Shield as a back up defense. This way I'm at least Smash and Lethal capped.

I figured Noxious Gas would help as well once placed on a melee pet.

EDIT: This build was before Agility came out.
I noticed you can change Cardiac to Agility and get some higher defenses and still be within the 2 point endurance ratio. This would allow you to remove a Defense IO from both Maneuvers and Combat jump. You look 50 hit points and can place it in 2 other areas. Honestly not many choices where you could slot 2 IOs and get any great improvements. As an example slotting up another basilisk gaze for the recharge bonus offers you tenths of a point change in recharge of powers. Personally I wouldn't notice if a power changed from 7.8 to 7.4 recharge wise.

But figured I would let you know either way.
