Mace/Shield high damage build

[BazookaTwo]

So I leveled a Mace/Shield to 50. I wanted to love it, but it ended up feeling lackluster. I've since field stripped it to feed alts, but I'd love some help building something that is as impressive as possible in the DPS department, and at least doesn't get pummelled too badly at +4/8 content. 

 

This is a long term project, and I'm willing to invest in it before I start working on Incarnates. I'm open to whatever epics and power pools help the most with DPS/recharge. I'm willing to listen about optimal ST and AOE chains, and skip attacks not needed. 

 

Anyone have some advice or a great build to share?

Would this work? I have no idea, not a big fan of shield brutes on live and HC hasn't changed my mind. Having never played the combo all i can do is toss on some randomised build.

I don't have mids, so an embed in the forums would be appreciated. Thanks for an attempt at least! I'm hoping someone with a killer mace build can speak up. I kinda know shield fairly well.
