  The build is a bit messy, but that's prob cause you're trying to throw too much into it. Con PSS is also not ideal for a dps build, and you prob should use Conc or Chilled Form instead of a melee toggle/form like FotT. You also can't use a defensive passive like Inuvln in a dps role.
  
  Here's one way to go about it instead, assuming you want to keep it a hybrid-dps:
  
  (Unnamed Build) - Freeform (Hybrid)
  v3.44:37
  
  Super Stats
  Level 6: Ego (Primary)
  Level 10: Recovery (Secondary)
  Level 15: Constitution (Secondary)
  
  Talents
  Level 1: The Specialist (Dex: 10, Con: 10, Int: 8, Rec: 10)
  Level 6: Worldly (Ego: 5, Rec: 5)
  Level 9: Amazing Stamina (Rec: 5, End: 5)
  Level 12: Quick Recovery (Con: 5, Rec: 5)
  Level 15: Ascetic (Con: 5, Ego: 5)
  Level 18: Daredevil (Ego: 5, End: 5)
  Level 21: Boundless Reserves (Con: 5, End: 5)
  
  Powers
  Level 1: Ice Shards
  Level 1: Shadow Blast (Psychotic Break, Devoid)
  Level 6: Chilled Form
  Level 8: Invulnerability (Rank 2, Rank 3)
  Level 11: Spirit Reverberation
  Level 14: Dimensional Collapse (Envelope in Darkness, Lingering Darkness)
  Level 17: Electrical Current (Rank 2, Rank 3)
  Level 20: Resurgence (Rank 2)
  Level 23: Ebon Ruin (Rank 2, Nyctophobia)
  Level 26: Lifedrain (Rank 2, Vampiric Sympathy)
  Level 29: Summon Shadows (Rank 2, Devouring Darkness)
  Level 32: Rimefire Burst (Rank 2)
  Level 35: Ebon Void (Rank 2)
  Level 38: Fiery Embrace
  Adv. Points: 34/36
  
  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)
  
  SBlast can put up Devoid (and Fear, and can stun), while ERuin can be the main single-target attack. Elec Current can be the main AoE (you could get its stun adv, though this will lower its dps). DCollpase is useful in both cases, cause it can apply/refresh Fear and refresh Devoid, while helping to proc SReverb in the background. I also added in Rimefire for a bit of burst dmg and to satisfy the ice and fire powers. Gears mostly for Ego, w/ some Con and Rec.
