Generally, you don't want to rank a form like Concentration, nor rank up Defiance, and UR as the ult won't hit that hard here since you aren't using Enrage. The build could also cut an AoE power or two, and is lacking in Challenge advs. Here's a tweaked version that hopefully should optimize it a bit more:

Specializations
Strength: Swole (3/3)

Mastery: Protector Mastery (1/1)

Hurl, Fissure, and Conviction can help proc MSA. Cave In is the main single-target attack, and Tremor is the main for AoE. The open power slot can be for w/e ya want. Gears mostly for Con, w/ some Int.

CON/Int/Dex could also work for the SS setup here (still a Con and Int focus).
