My Rad/Atomic, I need to stop "winging it"

[Generator]

Hey,

 

So I've been playing this Radiation/Atomic Blaster, and he's been phenomenally fun.  Almost as much fun as my Elec/Elec.  :)  But I don't really have a solid plan for what I'm doing with him, so far it's all been improv, which will work great, right up until it doesn't.  What I've got is below, and any feedback anyone would care to give would be great.  (All the IOs are level-appropriate, a few are IO-25s but most are actually 15s, but that will obviously change over time.

 

Key question: I'm close to 26, at which point Neutron Bomb would be available.  I already have Irradiate and Electron Haze.  Do I really need 3 AOEs?  If not, which one should I skip?

 

Later on,

Generator

I'm playing a Rad / Atomic currently and am at level 27, our builds look quite a bit different.  I have every intention of embracing the PBAoE (and carry awaken skittles)  so I've built more towards defense.

Here's an attempt to build mine out to 50.  For simplicity's sake this is just using SO/IOs, not sets (that'll come later).  I decided to take out Electron Haze, figuring Neutron Bomb and Irradiate was enough AOE, and put in the snipe in its place.

 

Any constructive criticism anyone's got, I'm all ears!

 

Thanks for your time.
