I have been having loads of fun with this build. Usually I find it hard to level after 30, but I breezed right to 40 using this build.

The core of this build actually ends at level 26, so there's lots of room to personalize it. I added some pets and an alpha strike to this one.
You will throw out so much damage, you will most likely gain Threat. I hate being squishy and I like doing damage so I made this build. I found that in most Alerts I steal the Threat unless someone has a real tank build with them. I'm not sure if that reflects more on the state of players who do Alerts (like me) or on this build.
Dexterity is Primary for the Dodge/avoid mechanics which enhances the Invun. You could easily take Protector Spec if you want to be more "tanky" and actually have skills that enhance Threat generation.
Ego can be the "fourth" stat. It is on this build.

Well there ya go, put together a build which works and does a good job and you get no feedback. Whereas if you'd posted a half baked abortion you'd get loads, just doesn't seem fair does it?

Ah the ole Dodge stacked Invuln build once the staple of PVP...

It's interesting, I am humming and hawing about shifting several Dex/Int builds to Dex/Con because of the new level 40 gear. Int is good for levelling it helps with the energy management but with Powercost discount helmets Con seems to be the new must have these days. Do you find this?

Well, I posted it to help those new people who might be having trouble getting the hang of the system.
