Spines/Dark Scrapper Build?

[MJB]

I'm looking for a decent Spines/Dark build. I need it fairly quick so any help would be appreciated.

I've looked over the builds on SuckerPunch's site and to put it mildly most of them are crap.

Please help. :(

I know Spud has a fairly high level Spines/Dark. It's pretty murderouous with the PBAOEs, but it also drains Endurance like... well... it's in a class all it's own.

Sadly I can't log him in to check my build... but basically, you want:

1) Every AoE (two toggles + Burst)
2) Every shield (Dark toggles + Tough + Weave + Combat Jumping + Acro)
3) Every endurance power (Stamina + Dark Consumption + both Recov globals)
4) Mitigators (Cloak of Fear, Cloak of Stunning Dudes, your heal)

Unfortunately, taking all of this leaves you very little room for direct attacks. I think my guy has two single-target Spines powers plus Kick from fighting.

Oh, and you'll want three End in all your toggles, and two to three in every click. Yes, it's that bad.

*shudder*

It's a very one-dimensional build (gather herd, mow herd down, rinse, repeat), but it's unparalleled within that dimension. Nothing mows down a herd as fast as Spines/Dark.
