Spines/Fire playstyle and mids

Cannot find anything recent, except just now about 2 threads below mine but that is a farming request. I like my guy right now in the 20s, but am expecting him to get squishier in the 30s (and die lots in the 40s).
I would like to make a viable playing build.

Attaching mids, my thinking on the build is softcap E/N def, reasonable S/L def. Reasonable resists. Cry when I play the Dark Astoria arcs and encounter cold damage. I took a slot from each resist to put into Burn for E/N def and more utitility from it.

Positional defence seems impossible on Spines/Fire so I went typed.
This is not my current build, but a planned respec as using mids seems to show that swopping the Overwhelming set to Spines and slotting Blazing Aura as it is is better for end with Spines using way more than BA. I presumed it would be the auras draining me more.

Little global recharge, but with auras I hope to be reasonably constant damage. For end management I could drop a slot from Weave and put it in health for the numina proc. Or maybe into Healing Aura as the end cost seems high.

I'm sad about the lack of epic pool usage, had thought Fiery Embrace and Fire pool would be fun. I'm playing a Fire/Fire brute so will try that as F/F/F

Any tips appreciated. Throw spines might be a bit strange slotting.
Tell me that power X is the best and needs better slotting etc.
