A while ago I ran something with all Spiders and one player said they never seen one so when I was on Beta, I built one. To me it's solid even though I know there's a lot I could move around.

Crab Spider builds are pretty forgiving, but if there were a hard and fast rule, I'd say it was: Soft-Cap All Positional Defenses.
Being even slightly below soft-cap makes you considerably easier to hit, and more likely to suffer a cascading failure from defense debuffs. So, I would try to shuffle things a bit to soft-cap AoE. Superior Frozen Blast can give you a fairly mind-boggling 7.5% AoE Defense with all six slots.

 

Omega Maneuver - If you're soloing and you have plenty of time to stand around watching Omega Maneuver work, it's fun. On a team of modern characters that steamroll through a whole room full of foes in seconds flat, you may find it's... difficult to use to full effect. If you decide it's not working out, I highly recommend Frag Grenade.

Yeah that's what I realized Omega is cool and all yet Frag would just be better for most content. I only got def failure versus Longbow. Malta, Arachnos and Carnies weren't a problem at all. It was more so a concept. Since I have a melee Nata and Huntsman. So if I get bored when new runs go live I might reroll my huntsman for a week or so to play around with it.

I really enjoy the Crab's combination of ranged and melee combat, though I do it with Frag Grenade and Venom Grenade as part of my melee attack chain and no Frenzy. Frenzy is difficult to use on a team since without a taunt you don't have a reliable way to gather aggro, while grenades are great no matter who's gathering the crowd.

Sometimes I wish it had a bit more +Recharge, but this is how I like my Crab.
