I would like to do a build based around the idea of a magician who was brought back from the dead. He wields potent magic that enable him to control darkness, which he uses in a variety of ways. He can also drain the life out of his victims. Finally, being undead has given him inhuman strength and made him resistant to pain. I would like to make him a tank. I threw this together on the HeroCreator. Let me know if I need to change anything.

I'm a silver member but I have a freeform slot so I can't recolor any of the powers nor do I have excess to the PTS at the moment so I can't test out the full build. Let me know what you all think. I'm open to change. Thank you all for your help.

I changed Void Horror to March of the Dead because I feel it has a more necromancer feel to it which is what I'm kind of going for. Also I switched out Dark Tether w/ adv for Ebon Rift w/ adv because I kind of like that ability better plus I think I have plenty of healing from Lifedrain and the adv from Summon Shadows and Soul Vortex. I also took off 1 point from Focused Strikes and added it to Mass Destruction since I'm mostly going to be using AOE. Do you think I should keep Defiance or change it to Invulnerability? Only thing is If I change it I don't know what I should take off to get Invulnerability to R3. What do you think? Also it says that March of the Dead is modified by my INT so should I change REC SS to INT SS or keep it the way it is?
Invuln vs. Defiance is just up to you. I may favor Invuln for solo and Alert-level content, but outside of that if you like saving 4 adv points and having extra energy then Defiance is fine. I'd also keep the block at least at R2.

SBlast can stun on charge vs. Feared targets, and put up Devoid on tap or charge. An AO like Imbue can boost ur dps and threat a bit, and/or help you break from holds. Shadows help you dps and heal. 3rd SS can be w/e- maybe get Int for some cd reduction and cost discount, Ego to soft-cap its ranged dmg bonus, or Pres to boost ur self-healing. If you want to use R3 Invuln instead, then you can prob de-rank Imbue and SBlast. The AO could be traded for something like CoPD or an ult, if you want.
Gears mostly for Con and some Dex.
