Vamp/Supernatural Sanity Check

Hi guys,

My new build is for a vampire character. I'm going for a bestial supernatural offensive thing, roughly inspired by the Bram Stoker's Dracula style of vampire powers. I think this should be fairly effective, but I'd love some help with specifics, and any way I can improve or refine this.

I'm leveling, no PvP (other than messing around with duels for fun), and will be using Heroic gear with r5 mods due to saving the expensive gear for my main character(s).

PowerHouse (Link to this build)

Name:

Archetype: Freeform

Super Stats:
Level 6: Dexterity (Primary)
Level 10: Constitution (Secondary)
Level 15: Recovery (Secondary)

Talents:
Level 1: The Savage
Level 6: Acrobat
Level 9: Impresario
Level 12: Quick Recovery
Level 15: Covert Ops Training
Level 18: Martial Training
Level 21: Paramilitary Training

Powers:
Level 1: Bestial Fury
Level 1: Shred (Rank 2, Penetrating Strikes)
Level 6: Supernatural Power
Level 8: Way of the Warrior (Rank 2, Rank 3)
Level 11: Form of the Tempest
Level 14: Void Shift (Emerging Nightmares)
Level 17: Devour Essence (Rank 2, Phlebotomist)
Level 20: Massacre (Rank 2, Blood Mess)
Level 23: Venomous Breath (Rank 2, Paralytic Bile, Infectious Bile)
Level 26: Bountiful Chi Resurgence (Rank 2, Resurgent Reiki)
Level 29: Parry (Rank 2)
Level 32: Masterful Dodge
Level 35: Intensity (Rank 2)
Level 38: Resurgence (Rank 2, Evanescent Emergence)

Travel Powers:
Level 6: Acrobatics (Rank 2)
Level 35: Bat Flight

Specializations:
Dexterity: Gear Utilization (3/3)
Dexterity: Brush It Off (2/2)
Dexterity: Evasion (2/2)
Dexterity: Deadly Aim (3/3)
Warden: Fortified Gear (3/3)
Warden: Ruthless (2/2)
Warden: Upper Hand (2/3)
Warden: The Best Defense (3/3)
Vindicator: Aggressive Stance (2/2)
Vindicator: Merciless (3/3)
Vindicator: Focused Strikes (3/3)
Vindicator: Modified Gear (2/2)
Mastery: Dexterity Mastery (1/1)

The main things I'm unsure about are:
1. The block. Is The Elusive Monk a no-brainer here?
2. The slotted passive. I love Regeneration, but I want the focus of the character to be dealing damage so I have WotW now. Any recommendations?
3. Juggling advantage points! I don't seem to have enough; any suggestions?

Thanks!

    the only thing missing is bite (from a roleplaying perspective) for a vampire.
    I don't duel anymore since the level 6 hit my level 8 for 15k in one shot instantly

    I just started playing a similar build, and wanted to suggest Aspect of the Bestial in place of Form of the Tempest. I usually stick to Tempest myself, but with the bleeds, Bestial is awesome. Just something to try. ^_^

    Here's my take on it. Stacking Enraged instead of Focus gave me a leaner, more focused build, pulling almost exclusively from the Supernatural sets (seasoned with a touch of Darkness).

    PowerHouse (Link to this build)

    Name:

    Archetype: Freeform

    Super Stats:
    Level 6: Strength (Primary)
    Level 10: Constitution (Secondary)

    Level 6: Coordinated
    Level 9: Investigator
    Level 12: Accurate
    Level 15: Bodybuilder
    Level 18: Body and Mind
    Level 21: Martial Focus

    Powers:
    Level 1: Bestial Fury (Rip and Tear)
    Level 1: Shred (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Level 6: Regeneration (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Level 8: Void Shift (Emerging Nightmares)
    Level 11: Aspect of the Bestial
    Level 14: Frenzy (Rank 2, Fear Sense)
    Level 17: Bite (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Level 20: Devour Essence (Rank 2, Phlebotomist)
    Level 23: Ebon Void (Voracious Darkness)
    Level 26: Aggressor (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Level 29: Masterful Dodge
    Level 32: Summon Shadows (Devouring Darkness)
    Level 35: Rebirth (Grave Consequences)
    Level 38: Supernatural Power

    Travel Powers:
    Level 6: Shadow Wings (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Level 35: Acrobatics (Rank 2)

    Specializations:
    Strength: Swole (3/3)
    Strength: Aggression (2/2)
    Strength: Juggernaut (3/3)
    Strength: Overpower (2/3)
    Vindicator: Aggressive Stance (2/2)
    Vindicator: Merciless (3/3)
    Vindicator: Focused Strikes (2/3)
    Vindicator: Modified Gear (1/2)
    Vindicator: Mass Destruction (2/3)
    Warden: Fortified Gear (3/3)
    Warden: Ruthless (2/2)
    Warden: Upper Hand (2/3)
    Warden: The Best Defense (3/3)
    Mastery: Strength Mastery (1/1)

    Summon Shadows is just there for fun, and cosmetically it synergizes well with Void Shift and Ebon Void.

    Frenzy with +Fear Sense seems to synergize well with Void Shift.

    REC only won out over INT because Supernatural Power scales off of REC, and Supernatural Power won out over MSA because the lunge is the only short-recharge power, but nearly everything in this build potentially triggers Supernatural Power.
