Why skip Taser and Bean Bag ? The combination is a nice way to stop bosses in their tracks.
Anyway, Time Bomb in general, is really safe to skip currently.
It has an insanely long cast time, Is a pain to use, insanely long recharge time, and what it can do trip mine can do better.

I find Beanbag to be essential, not only for utility but for the 3.3% ranged defense set bonus provided by Stupefy (my guy is capped for ranged def).
Gun drone isn't a good power, but it is a useful one- the instant cast means you can just drop one whenever you're taking too much heat and it will distract some aggro. And again, it's home for a 3.3% ranged defense bonus from Expedient Reinforcement.
Taser is mildly useful for stacking stuns, but I have it for a ranged def set bonus. If I wasn't after capped range def I wouldn't take it.
I don't have M30 because it didn't fit in my build, but it's not a bad power.
Especially if you could stick one of those KB to KD IOs from the summer event in there.

I built mine so that i need one luck for the ranged softcap, Yeah it kind of relies on insps for invincibility, but smoke bomb can cover it fairly well if i'm low. It's more based on offensive then anything really.
I stuck a ragnarok and an overwhelmer on caltrops and it's quite nice.
