Sorcery / Darkness build ranged DPS

I thought I'd seen a build like this not too long ago, but I can't find it. Looking to use soul beam for single target, some of darkness' healing powers - kinda like some dark celestial being. I need lots of advice, please.

Here's my beginning framework

    Having both SEmbrace and Shade Storm seems a bit redundant. I may settle on just one of them (Embrace is easier to work around, but lower dps). Spellcaster also only scales w/ Int, iirc, though you won't need it over Concentration or Chilled Form if using Wisp's Guide for an Enchantment.

    May also get Ascension's Judgement if using Wisp w/ Guide, and would prob use Soul Vortex to refresh/apply Fear, esp as Soul Beam and Wisp can't proc Spirit Reverb by themselves (otherwise it may be easier to use Conjuring, though then you want to change to an Int setup). You can keep SBlast for the reliable Fear on charge and for a potential stun, either way.

    Here's an example w/ an Int setup, Conjuring, and Conc:

    Level 18: Quick Recovery (Con: 5, Rec: 5)

    Travel Powers
    Level 6: Arcane Flight (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Level 35:

    Specializations
    Dexterity: Combat Training (2/3)
    Dexterity: Gear Utilization (3/3)
    Dexterity: Deadly Aim (3/3)

    Avenger: Relentless Assault (3/3)
    Avenger: Offensive Expertise (2/2)
    Mastery: Dexterity Mastery (1/1)

    Can also try a INT/Dex/Con SS setup, though either way the gear focus should be on Int. Guardicator could work for the specs, as usual, and you could also try an Avenger Mastery setup w/ SBlast.
