I just got back in game and I am loving the TK Ranged powerset. I want to have a build that is useful/survivable in Alerts as I level. Solo is no problem, but I am not sure what is best for alerts. Focus on Ranged DPS stance and just go all out damage to beat the Alert timers? Go in a hybrid stance for a DPS cost but more defence? Support (with Seraphim) to make sure I live through the Alert?
I'd appreciate any advice - want to maximize my contribution to the team and have fun doing it

Whether you die is irrelevant, unless you are running Gravitar or something where you get locked out. You can always buy more stars. But, dying really makes your DPS crap out. You have to rez, rebuff, and run back. That's precious seconds when you are not dealing damage. So, staying up is important.
Get 1 major attack and back it up with buff powers, both offensive and defensive. Heal liberally. And don't run around like a dodo bird (I've seen a lot of people do that in Alerts, I've never figured out why.)
