[Brute Spines/Bio Build Critique! (I started CoH last week here on the server)]

Hello all! I have always loved superheroes and never got the chance to play city of heroes when it first came out. I liked the idea of making a kind of toxic poison beast kind of character so spines and Bio fit the bill! I am hoping the build can become a bit of a workhorse to just tackle a whole bunch of things. Tanking with friends, solo farming/bossing, questing etc. It does not need to be great at any of those things it just needs to be able to do em' to some extent! I have downloaded Mid's and did a good deal of reading around the forums. Here is the build I came up with. ( Thematically I like the idea of regenerating health quite fast! and I purposefully didn't include any of the Brute IOs as they are crazy expensive on the AH.) My character is level 4 atm lol but I always like to plan ahead in games like this so please critique away as I have litteraly no idea what I'm doing.
