Against single targets, like bosses, the main rotation would include Hurl to apply Demolish/proc Pulverizer and Cave In for your main single target damage, with Fissure or Earthquake thrown in.
In either build, I'd probably drop the Reconstruct advantage from Fissure. You've got other, better healing options. I'd also drop Molten Core from Earthquake. Earth Form doesn't enhance fire damage and I don't know that the advantage would be worth it without fire related buffs/debuffs. I'd rank up Stone Shroud to Rank 3. In the Destructive build, I'd probably pull the advantage points from Resurgence.
I'd also recommend considering replacing Imbue with a Threat Wipe. You could take Imbue as your last power choice. Should you decide to swap it out, it should cost a lot less than a full respec.
This is what I slapped together after talking to both you and Flow. The main difference is the lack of Hurl with the DPS advantage because I was out of advantage points and wanted the extra minor healing from Fissure to deal with my survival issues right now. I suppose I could drop Fiery embrace along with R2 from Stone Shot and R3 from my block like you did but that's something I might revisit for a retcon at 40.

Devices
(Also, it's okay to use a different build for leveling than for max level. If you're finding your build to be too squishy, for instance, you could level w/ Regen or Invuln in the Hybrid role and change that out later on, if you don't mind the hit to base dmg. You could also take more self-heals from other sources, like BCR or ERush, and not need or have them in the final build)
