Help w/ Void AT

It's been a little over a year since I've last played and I do like many of the changes that have been made since last year.
I have a tendency to start out new toons as an AT before converting to Freeform later levels just for fun. My plan was to make a Darkness toon and start it out as a Void. I saw that it got revamped power and stats and thought it would be interesting. But there are some issues too:
I have another AoED sorcery toon with EGO/Con/Pre and it plays beautifully, but here it seems clunky. The PRE seems to be there to boost AoED for teammates, but since Void is stuck in Hybrid the team buff is gonna be poor regardless. PRE SS also means no more END SS. Fortunately Spirit reverb scales with CON, but until then energy management is very poor. I can barely capitalize on Ebon Ruin being earlier bc I barely have enough starting equilibrium for a tap let alone a charge. Furthermore it seems they're trying to make the Void a semi-healer like Grimoire (what with its PRE SS and option for AoED) and yet its only heals for allies are advantages on other attacks. An AoED support build is definitely possible, but I feel like it should a separate AT from the Void, which seemed to be an excellent pseudo-tank.
Granted, I could easily re-train and make a freeform Void like it used to be but in the interest of helping out Silvers who only have the option for AT, what's a good way to make new Void viable?

Check out the Void guide on the NPW forums:

As far as Lifedrain vs. Summon Shadows: if ya think ya can do w/o the more on-demand healing from LDrain, then yea the Shadows can squeeze out a bit more dps. Like some other options, it'll just come down to ur own priorities.
- Be safe and have fun, champs - for science!
While I do love the idea of Summon Shadows, I do suppose Lifedrain would be more effective for healing purposes, especially since they nerfed the Ebon block (3 points for half the defense stacks, I am v upset
Besides like I said I'll probably just wind up re-training into Freeform and go for EGO/Con/End, and then I can take Shadows as extra power.
But until then I'll go on Test and see how cris and not1step's builds operate at 30/40.
