  I wasn't sure how sold you were on any of your ability choices, so I just went with something like what I would do as a melee/support toon.
  
  I chose AoPM just because it makes everything around you not suck. Helping people to not suck, to me, is one of the primary functions of 'support.'
  
  DEX/Con/Pre. No energy stat because I don't think it will be needed. You have enough from AoPM to fuel just about anything, even though I still added in MSA, the Int/Rec bonus from AoPM should make it viable still. Con, because HPs are awesome, especially in melee. Pre for added bonus stats to your teammates from AoPM.
  
  Minor heals, Sigils, Conviction + adv...paired with Ascension, it should be noticeable.
  
  I wanted it to be more of a melee/Lifedrain/Vampiric build, but wasn't sure if that wouldn't completely destroy the theme you were aiming for.
  
  Kept Demolish for debuff, and added Mini Drive for more debuffs.
  
  Added Dragon Uppercut for Rush.
  
  You might want to trade BCR + RR for Resurgence depending on the spike damage you plan on receiving.
  
  Again, this might not be anything like what you are looking for, but I figured I would throw this out there just in case it gives you any additional ideas.

  Hm, its mostly just a Might build, but oddly thrown together. You have Arbiter Mastery and Brawler's Setup, but you didn't rank up ur basic combo- both of those are heavily dependent on the combo. You also took Concussion but have no power that stuns to proc it.
  
  Concussion isn't easy to roll on boss-type mobs, due to the shortened duration (~3-4 sec). There aren't that many melee powers to reliably roll it. Brute Strike or Crashing Wave Kick can, but are low dps moves; Bite's adv I think can, but takes a bleed and may be out of theme; Dragon Kick can, but requires full charging and may also be out of theme; Thunderclap can, but you have to have a short cd and use it when its up.
  
  W/o Concussion, I wouldn't bother w/ Arbiter and instead pick up Warden if keeping a combo-heavy rotation. Could also just pick Vindicator.
  
  You chose DE.. I guess for the healing, but to get the most out of the heal you'd want a means of bleeding or poisoning for Phlebotomist.
  
  I also wouldn't take Dex PSS on a Str-toggle using build, esp since Str PSS + Con has great synergy. I would also replace Unstoppable w/ WotW and trade Rec SS for int SS, since you picked MSA up anyways. Then ur defenses will be a bit better if you also add BCR/RR. You also dun have many means of procing Enrage itself.
  
  
  I dun really know what to do about the build since, attack-wise, I am unsure of the theme. If you want to be a Might-based melee that heals teammates passively and still tries to use Arbiter Mastery, I can give you a modified version of a build I have for that (was an Ice Pummeler, but dropping the Ice powers here for some Earth/Brick ones and changing around a few other things), to help spark some ideas:

  Arbiter: Concussion (3/3)
  Mastery: Arbiter Mastery (1/1)
  
  (1 power and 2 adv points left open)
  
  Its a bit of an unconventional build (not one for optimal self-sufficiency, but you wanted some 'Support'), yet the version I had worked pretty well in-play.
  
  TC and the Lunge proc Manipulator, TC also procs Concussion, MSA, and Wither. W/ Int + Manipulator, TC also stuns CC-able enemies for a long time. Beatdown builds up Stagger, Demolish has the BtB debuff, and Fissure was added just as an extra, small healing venue when in melee (consider it optional). Sentinel Aura also adds a small passive group heal in the background.
  
  For this build you prob want to get Str and Pres to 70, but mostly gear for Int and Con. If ya want more healing ya can get +heal% and/or Sentinel mods in offense slot gear. If ya want an easier time vs. Gravi ya can get Earth Form or Stormbringer instead of WotW and change BCR for Conviction.

  So, the 'support' aspect is really just stacking a couple debuffs for you and the team; otherwise focus on Might? Okay.

  Mastery: Arbiter Mastery (1/1)
  
  I kept Arbiter in there for the mastery, but that can be swapped for warden or vindicator. Since AM involves using combos, I built around that. W/ Brawler's Setup you basically use Beatdown as ur starter move: Beatdown -> Demolish, Beatdown -> Haymaker, etc.
  
  Lunge and Conviction gives you MSA for extra energy. Vortex Cyclone paired w/ UR gives you a nice AoE combo. Earth Form protects you against many types of enemy attacks (including Gravi). I kept Palliate/absolve in there from the original build as a threat wipe, but it could be replaced if you want a diff power.
