  I'd prob use AR (instead of TGM) and maybe Gatling Gun (instead of LT or Bullet Hail) as backup attacks, since they can be long-range. Unfortunately, Gatling is no longer a great way to keep the AP debuff rolling for AR (since it no longer refreshes AP on tap if it's already up), but if using SR at its max range you wouldn't be able to use other attacks like Gatling anyways, and AR is still an okay attack on its own. Regardless, here's a quick edit of it:

  The last few powers can be w/e ya want.
  
  I kept Bullet Hail in for a close-range AoE option and for its dmg shield adv. Otherwise, you can use SR if it's safe to, or fall back to AR for single-target dmg, and Gatling for long-ranged AoE. Gears mostly for Ego, w/ some Con and Dex/Rec.

  Awesome I'll give this one a shot as well. I'm an altaholic and can't seem to stick to one character.

  You could be even more experimental with the next build. The goal would be to have the hisghest possible alpha strike on a single target (concentration x2, Outburst for END PSS, bonus damage from Stealth). Then you wipe your threat with Smoke Grenade (you lose aggro and mobs move away). I've a build which use almost the same trick, but I'm using Sniper Rifle with the AoE advantage, but then, I lose the damage bonus from Stealth (it works only on single target power). That being said, Stealth bonus is not that high in practice (t's not base damage bonus, but damage strenght). It could be an option to clear packs of mob in an easier manner. You'd use Gatling gun as your AoE power when you wanna clear packs of mobs faster or when you're not stealth anymore. Because this build have kind a slow pace as is. Your AoE threat wipe has a long cooldown. You also have a single target threat wipe. It means you can lose aggro twice on a tough target, and hit it three time with sniper rifle if necessary.
