The build looks decent overall for the AT, though I prob wouldn't put R2 of Holdout Shot as a high priority. I also assume that you'll want to get the LtR adv on Gatling Gun, since that allows taps of Gatling to easily refresh Furious stacks for AR from long-range (taps of Gatling can also refresh the AP debuff if you're too far out for the grenade).

I'd also get 3/3 Merciless (instead of Modified Gear and a point in Mass Destruction) in Vind spec, and get Round 'em Up in Avenger spec (instead of the energy builder thing). You'll prob also want 3/3 In Follow Through for EGO PSS, since Ego will be your main dps stat here (you'd only want 3/3 in Sixth Sense if a 2ndary SS like Dex was your focus instead). You could also consider getting Insight in EGO PSS, depending on whether you need help w/ energy.
