Trying to craft something that uses a mix of bleeds and poison. Wondering if this would work OK.

Not wed to Curse. If there's another useful power that could fit this kind of build I would be happy to entertain it. I couldn't find anything that applies both a bleed and poison. Does such exist? Re: Curse, wont't Pestilence boost its toxic damage?
1) Instead of SMG you could use Throwing Blades from Gadgeteering with the Aggression advantage to apply Bleeds from Range (and easy taps in melee to apply bleeds with it too). This counts as slashing damage, which dovetails with Pestilence better than SMG.
2) If you are using claw attacks with Massacre, you could replace Reaper's Caress combo with Frenzy in Supernatural - it has an advantage that let's you apply Poison as well as bleeds (though it works better at stacking said conditions with Enrage as a form) and stack up both afflictions, which Pestilence obviously boosts. There's also the added bonus that with poison applied, Curse can stun secondary targets too.
1) Use Throwing Blades from Gadgeteering in place of SMG. With the Aggression advantage, it allows easy application of bleed from range (and in melee with just taps too) while offering Slashing damage that dovetails with Pestilence.
2) If you like the idea of the claw attack from Massacre, you could replace the Reaper's Caress combo with the Frenzy combo from Supernatural. It has an advantage that let's you apply both a bleed and a poison (though it stacks more efficiently with Enrage and unfortunately doesn't offer Shredded debuff). Pestilence really boosts poison damage. Conversely, if you feel like Throwing Blades is stacking bleed well in melee with taps, you could use Viper's Fangs from MA framework, which innately applies Shredded and can apply Poison with the Spitting Cobra advantage.
3) Once you have poison status on mobs, Curse will start stunning secondary targets as well. You can add Corrosion to Curse to refresh poison status on mobs or Needles to get bleeds on mobs right away if it's your initial attack - wasn't sure how important the restoration advantage was for you.
Curse could use the bleed adv, though its still not applying poison by itself. I guess it depends on what extra utility you want in the build, and what type of attack rotation you're looking for (which I'm not quite clear on yet- I guess via Setup you wanted to do an alternating rotation w/ the combo and Massacre?).

I'd forgotten the advantage on Throwing Blades. I'll have to play around and see which I like best.
For this build I am thinking of poison as just at bit more damage via DoT. Maybe Will o the Wisp instead of curse? Stunning mobs is nice, but they most of them aren't really much of a threat that a stun is necessary.
Also, you prob took the wrong special adv for Massacre. Open Wound is good for rupture builds to help build bleeds faster, but if you're alternating between RC and Massacre w/ Setup then you don't need Massacre to also build bleeds that you aren't rupturing anyways.
