I'm a little lost. Would Hjarki's build need to change because if the TA buffs? Wouldn't it be fine slotted as in but just "better" now?

No, it needs to change.

 

This should be what I'm playing now (the power order may be off):

Perma-Hasten, Perma-PA, Perma-Indomitable Will, soft-capped Ranged/Psi. EMP Arrow can generate -382% Regen over time, this should rise to -535% over time with the Acid Arrow debuff.

 

Note that this sort of build is far more 'strategic' than most CoH builds. You've got a huge array of weapons to use and you need to pick the right ones rather than just spamming a rotation. The bulk of the damage comes from pets, although Trick Arrow does do significantly more AE damage than most Illusion builds.
