A mummy build?

Looking to put together a mummy build. For inspiration "The Mummy"'s Imhotep, obviously. I like pets, and would like it to be a ranged spell casting mastermind that leeches the life from people while absolutely destroying them in a tidal wave of sand and darkness and undeath...and also spit locusts.
If you can help me put this together I promise you many blessings of Anubis, and a cookie.

Locust Swarm is a good power for the Egypt theme, and Epidemic could work too I think.
I'd suggest some Darkness powers that cause Fear on your foes, perhaps shadow form, with the Spirit Reverberation power to gain energy whenever you attack those who fear you (or are in Fear to anybody really).
Here's what I've knocked up quickly, probably need to lose some powers here and there to get more passive buffs and things that are just there continuously without your input, but here's a starting point:

I did some further tweaking, taking out Divine Renewal and adding Ebon Ruin for more firepower.
Here is something I worked up (a little more tanky): I might look to get Epidemic in early, as you'll likely be using that the most (if you take it); I just threw it in at the end so it'd be optional.
Mummies are not just sand, but often pestilent - or so I'm thinking, so the infernal / poison stuff works well, and you have a nice energy unlock with Supernatural Power (making Devour Essence and Epidemic near perma).
I am enjoying the Int super-stated on several toons, the con/rec is a given for a maintain-heavy build, and int only improves this. Great synergy with the three. It does mean you need to focus on DEX or crit chance (severity is decent through specialization picks).
Well, this was just my first thought at this...

However, it will be the same as Quicksand (PBAoE maintain) and is far superior (min/max wise); thematically, quicksand is your only "sand" power... so...?
Anyway, I usually take it right after or right before Supernatural Energy, so I can afford to spam it. Coupled with a recovery secondary ss, it's pretty nice. I think they don't allow Challenging Strikes on it because it is decent damage and a poison DoT. On my Beast Tank build, I went R2 and +25% chance for poison advantage. It still is nasty good damage and I spam it 90% of the time there's more than 1 enemy.
However, like I mentioned above, it may be more thematic to have quick sand - which isn't bad, and a fun power to boot. Just not as damaging. Also, I'm not sure you can move around when maintaining quicksand like you can for epidemic (which might be broken, it's so awesome).

Venomous Breath has a free Locust Breath advantage.
As was previously mentioned, Quicksand and Epidemic are too similar to need both.
With Regen, you will be much more tanky, especially with Devour Essence melee attack / self-heal.
Ebon Sorcery adds the zombie summon, Sigil of Weakness and Circle of Ebon Wrath. I added Summon Shadows as well. Shadows are faster than zombies.
The Dex specializations assist in Dodge so I added Masterful Dodge. Devour Essence is your self-heal but you could add Bountiful Chi Ressurgence since that works really well with Dodge mechanics and Masterful Dodge.
With this build, you will have good survivability and do good damage also. I added the Advantages to your attack powers that will attract Threat, making you the tank.
Why not try REC as a SS with Overdrive as an energy unlock. Then, since DEX is PSS, you could use FOTT instead of aspect of the infernal.
What would you replace with rec? int?
