Synergy between Scrapper Savage Melee & Fiery Aura ?

[ChromeFamily]

I've looked at a bunch of threads in this forum but I haven't seen any that discusses the scrapper synergy between Savage Melee and Firey Aura. I have this concept for a character, but I'm not very experienced with Savage Melee, does it synergize well with a secondary like Fiery Aura?

 

I'm looking for advice on what to look for and what's good for slotting the savage melee attacks since I'm not seeing any extreme damage attacks, will critical's from Scrappers make up for that?

Also  why would I want hemorrhage / Rending Flurry or any other power that pop's blood frenzy and causes you to be exhausted?

(I'm not sure I understand why anyone would want to take these powers? I am sure there is a reason behind this I'm not understanding) 

 

Looking forward to you all smartening me up on Savage Melee.

Rending Flurry is worth having, because popping the stack makes the AoE wider and do more damage.  This is your Foot Stomp.  I skipped Hemorrhage myself on my savage melee character (dark/savage tanker).

 

The set works well with old line armor sets like Dark, Fire, or Invuln, largely because stacking the frenzy gives you an endurance discount.

I have a savage/fire scrapper and he was ok, main problem I had was not savage or lack of synergy but how piss poor Burn is on scrappers. Anyway, movving on, I skipped Hemorrhage, it's good for stalkers but really lackluster for scrappers and brutes (no idea about tanks). Regarding rending flurry, what Heraclea said.

You might want to run it on a Brute instead of a Scrapper. Burn is Fire Armor's linchpin and enemies will run away from it if performed by a Scrapper.
