Attempting an Endgame Infernal Build

I tried this (well I actually had rank 3 Devour Essence instead of Rebirth and only rank 1 Aggressor) on my level 40 test character who has horrible gear that doesn't even match this build and he cleared out hard mobs set to 5. I added Fractal Aegis for its knock up and especially for its defense buff; the damage is just a nice added bonus.
With Invulnerability, Ebon Void, and the occasional Fractal Aegis for defense I seem to be good there. With Infernal Bolts (using Accelerated Metabolism), Aspect of the Infernal at rank 3, and Mephitic for energy management I seem be good there (especially with all the poison going around). With Life Essence and Resurgence both at rank 3 I think I'll be good on healing (never had to use Resurgence during the test). I think Aggressor will work for an Active Offense, but don't quote me on that. Between Defile weakening their resistance to toxic damage (almost the only damage type I do), the poison, and the knocks; I think Debuffs are good.
A couple things I was wondering about. When I went in game I had 40/256 energy, 15.9% critical chance, 107% critical severity. I know the equilibrium is really low, the CC is pretty low, while the CS is just a tad low. First off does anyone think I should change anything? Next below is the gear I will be using; does anyone have any thought about what mods to add (got about 830G right now)?
Primary Offense: Legion's Gloves of Growth
Secondary Offense: Mercenary's Critical Belt
Primary Defense: Mercenary's Breastplate of Greater Health
Secondary Defense: Mercenary's Armored Bracers
Primary Utility: Mercenary's Helmet of Efficiency
Secondary Utility: Legion's Hastened Eyepiece

Also, if ur playing a ranged dps build, then using Hybrid role + a defense passive will lower ur optimal dps a good bit (though ofc you'll be a good bit more sturdy), and Fractal Aegis requires getting close to get the most out of it (you may want a ranged ult, if getting one). If using charged Defile heavily, you may want to consider taking Conc or Chilled Form over AotI (R3 Defile has only a 50% poison chance of full charge now), though either could work if ur alternating between IBlast and Defile instead (latter approach takes less energy and can work w/ Avenger + Preemptive Strike specs, but that means passing up Guardicator specs, and IBlast is lower dps than Defile).
Example of a more typical ranged Infernal build, using the hybrid-dps approach:
(Unnamed Build) - Freeform
Super Stats
Level 6: Ego (Primary)
Level 10: Endurance (Secondary)
Level 15: Constitution (Secondary)
Talents
Level 1: The Scourge (Con: 10, End: 8, Ego: 10, Rec: 10)
Level 6: Ascetic (Con: 5, Ego: 5)
Level 9: Boundless Reserves (Con: 5, End: 5)
Level 12: Daredevil (Ego: 5, End: 5)
Level 15: Quick Recovery (Con: 5, Rec: 5)
Level 18: Wordly (Ego: 5, Rec: 5)
Level 21: Amazing Stamina (Rec: 5, End: 5)
Powers
Level 1: Infernal Bolts
Level 1: Venomous Breath (Rank 2, Paralytic Bile)
Level 6: Mephitic
Level 8: Invulnerability (Rank 2, Rank 3)
Level 11: Concentration
Level 14: Life Essence (Rank 2, Rank 3)
Level 17: Will-o'-the-Wisp
Level 20: Defile (Rank 2, Rank 3)
Level 23: Resurgence (Rank 2)
Level 26: Infernal Blast (Rank 2, Rank 3)
Level 29: Rebirth
Level 32: Ego Surge (Nimble Mind)
Level 35: Ebon Void (Rank 2, Voracious Darkness)
Level 38:
Adv. Points: 32/36
Travel Powers
Level 6: Teleportation (Rank 2)
Level 35: Displacement Acrobatics (Rank 2, Rank 3)
Specializations
Ego: Force of Will (2/2)
Ego: Insight (3/3)
Ego: Follow Through (3/3)
Ego: Sixth Sense (2/3)
Guardian: Fortified Gear (3/3)
Guardian: Ruthless (2/2)
Guardian: Find the Mark (2/3)
Guardian: The Best Defense (3/3)
Vindicator: Aggressive Stance (2/2)
Vindicator: Merciless (3/3)
Vindicator: Focused Strikes (3/3)
Vindicator: Mass Destruction (2/3)
Mastery: Ego Mastery (1/1)
Last power can be w/e. For gear mods, I'd get crit rating and crit severity in primary offense, +maxHP and/or Defense in primary defensive, and a mix of cost discount and cd reduction for utility (unless you can get the newer 'Venomous' mods for +Infernal dmg).
- Be safe and have fun, champs - for science!
