  Hi!
  
  Nub here, so ill ask questions first.
  
  1-Why two forms (Enrage/AspectoBestial)?
  2-Have you checked Supernatural Power or Wild Thing as an energy unlock?
  3-I used to like Devour Essence with phlebotomist, specialy id the energy unlock is Supernatural Power, have you checked it compared to Bite?
  4-Could Massacre or Eviscerate fit better into the build than Haymaker?

  Just commenting on theme, but I'd put Endorphin Rush on Enraged so you get healed when you attack. And probably some kind of Life Drain power, maybe Devour Essence. Though if you're building for cosmics you might not have room for fluff. But you do have an extra slot at the end.

  1. I just realized that both are forms. (Didn't think that through.)
  2. I have. Not sure which one would be a better fit.
  3. I haven't thought about that. Bite doesn't have the best HoT, so I'll look into that.
  4. Yes, it could. Just figuring out ways to make aggro better.
  
  Thanks for commenting!

  Do you actually want to tank? Cause there's no Challenge advs in that build. If you just want to be a sturdy dps, I may run in Hybrid role w/ Invuln as the passive. If you aren't going to tank mobs urself, then the Tank role is giving you threat you don't need, while lowering ur dmg.
  
  Imo, there's no need to have both Thrash and DE. I may decide on one of them (DE is easier to setup, though Thrash can do more healing w/ 5x bleed). Here's an example hybrid-dps w/ Thrash:

  Builds 5x bleed and Shredded w/ Shred, then channels Thrash while taping Evis between every 1-2 channels (to proc stuff and refresh debuffs). I threw Life Essence in there if you wanted an AoE heal and/or a heal you can use at range. Gears mostly for Str and Con, w/ some End and Rec for energy.
