Symphony / Pain feedback

[Carnifax]

So I need a new character and since Symph is new and I've never done Pain thought this might be a useful combo. Still at the pure build theory stage but I've tried a more aggressive-than-usual proccy build. No idea how the pet should be slotted overall so I went with the usual Expedient. 

 

Went with Sorcery because I like it and it seems to fit the theme well. Ice Epic I'm willing to change on. 

 

Tips or tweaks appreciated.

     No idea if you saw my post in the thread looking for advice about Symphony/DarkAff but I wondered if, given the odd way the pet works,  if it wasn't a good place to skip the idea of set bonuses (or at least sacrifice some of them) and use several HO, SHO or DSO for Acc/Mez and or Dam/Mez.  Checked several previous threads about Symphony all seem to use the Recharge Intensive Pet set IOs but didn't get the impression it wasn't essentially a default choice similar to yours.
