I'm not sure what to do with this. She's primarily melee fighter, but the single blade doesn't lend to taking on multiple mobs very efficiently. I'd like to change out some powers for that purpose, yet still (hopefully) work within the synergy/combo/stats I've listed here. Since Dex is her primary superstat, I thought maybe adding something like storm of arrows and/or torrent of arrows. Builds are below...

This is the original build that I've been working with and would like to tweak:

Brawler: Penetrating Strikes (2/2)
Brawler: Ruthless (2/2)
Brawler: Finishing Blow (3/3)
Brawler: Flanking (2/3)
Mastery: Dexterity Mastery (1/1)

She has several powers I almost never use: Reaper's Caress, Shuriken Throw, and Dragon's Bite. It could be that I'm underestimating those powers, but they just seem useless compared to the rest. Of course, this could also mean that I really don't understand the Single Blade synergy or combinations for Single Blade as well as I should.

Here's a build I came up with as an alternative to the original:
