  If your goal is end-game stuff, then know that bringing weak Hybrid auras is generally frowned upon. I assume you want to focus on dps? If so, then you may just want to make a committed dps build, or at least a hybrid-dps build that uses something like R3 Invuln (if you don't mind the trade-off of having considerably lower base dps).
  
  Anyways.. the build itself, outside of some outdated things like including ES/NM, has a buncha redundant AoE and not much of a single-target focus for boss dps. For ease of use, I may consider having Electricity as the main dps set, and maybe picking from other 'elemental' sets for theme when its not too inconvenient. Example dps build:

  Super Stats
  Level 6: Ego (Primary)
  Level 10: Endurance (Secondary)
  Level 15: Constitution (Secondary)
  
  Talents
  Level 1: The Scourge (Con: 10, Ego: 10, Rec: 10, End: 8)

  Level 12: Daredevil (Ego: 5, End: 5)
  Level 15: Quick Recovery (Con: 5, Rec: 5)
  Level 18: Worldly (Ego: 5, Rec: 5)
  Level 21: Amazing Stamina (Rec: 5, End: 5)
  
  Powers
  Level 1: Electric Bolt
  Level 1: Chain Lightning (Rank 2, Superconductor)
  Level 6: Ionic Reverberation
  Level 8: Stormbringer (Rank 2, Rank 3)
  Level 11: Chilled Form
  Level 14: Ball Lightning (Rank 2, Triplicity, Supercharged)
  Level 17: Conviction (Rank 2, Rank 3)
  Level 20: Lightning Arc (Rank 2, Rank 3)
  Level 23: Gigabolt (Rank 2, Rank 3)
  Level 26: Resurgence (Rank 2)
  Level 29: Ice Shield (Rank 2, Rank 3)
  Level 32: Imbue
  Level 35: Fiery Embrace
  Level 38: Gravity Driver (Rank 2)
  Adv. Points: 33/36
  
  Travel Powers
  Level 6:
  Level 35:
  
  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 (3/3)
  Guardian: The Best Defense (2/3)
  Vindicator: Aggressive Stance (2/2)
  Vindicator: Merciless (3/3)
  Vindicator: Focused Strikes (3/3)
  Vindicator: Mass Destruction (2/3)
  Mastery: Ego Mastery (1/1)
  
  For single-target dps, uses Ball Lit and Chain Lit to put up NI and Superconductor, LArc as the main filler, and Ball Lit on cd to refresh both debuffs. Gigabolt, Ball Lit, and/or Chain Lit can also help w/ AoE. Grav Driver is there just to have a helpful group ult and burst dmg/CC cd. You could consider other things like a 2nd AO, a threat wipe, Nanobot Swarm, R1 Masterful Dodge, etc.. depending on your playstyle or priorities. Gears mostly for Ego, w/ some Con and End/Rec.
