Electric/Temp build guidance request

[Zarmarus]

This is my Electric Blast/Temporal Manipulation Blaster build. Any guidance on polishing it is very welcome. I will volunteer that I think my defenses could be better but I am unsure how to approach it. Also is there anything I can do about being mezzed without going into Sorcery or Clarion incarnate power? (I would prefer to avoid Sorcery on this character for thematic purposes.)

 

I've considered dropping voltaic for Lightning Bolt but it seems the DPA of that attack may not be ideal? I could potentially drop Combat TP at level 49 and instead get Hasten, but I'm really not sure it's needed with what I have so far. I'm afraid it might cause endurance issues too, but I'm open to any suggestions.

Probably something like this may tickle your fancy, but may also give you ideas on how to build / soft-cap from there.

Voltaic Sentinel is your highest dps single target attack.  Don't drop it for anything.

I was thinking about dropping Volty (on my Corr) because, while it may be true that it's a great ST damager, it's unreliable since you can't specifically target it. Great if you're fighting an AV or straggling boss maybe, but overall, I was thinking it would free up room in my build.

If you're fighting a bunch of guys, you're so crammed full of AoE on electric blast that you aren't using single target attacks anyway.

[Onlyasandwich]

Volty has great set bonuses, great st damage, takes no animation time, and also saves attacks by last hitting mobs with slivers left. I'd have to have a really amazing benefit to consider dropping it.

[Zarmarus]

Thank you all for the contributions thus far. I have decided I will not be dropping Voltaic after all.

[Zarmarus]

After taking @T3h Ish's build and post suggestions into account, I have come up with this. I have put it into practice and I am really happy with it currently. Any feedback is welcome.
