Any recommendations to improve this build (Claws/Rad)?

[Story Archer]

Despite my frustration with the middle ground/no man's land where the Brute seems to reside, this is one of my absolute favorite characters. I've leveled him to 50, gotten his IO's and Incarnates more or less taken care of, and now I'm looking to tinker a bit, to hone him to be the very best he can be. I know that's a relative consideration, but there has never been a time when I have posted on this forum and not come away with new insight and an improved perspective, so here goes:

I like the luxury of having solid defenses, even if the Res and Absorb Shield are my primary means to avoid damage - it stacks nicely with Darkest Night when I have those REALLY tough fights.

 

Figure I'll be soloing 70% of the time, teaming 20%, farming 10% (at the most)... probably eventually try to get through all the Ouro content in addition to all the late-game stuff, but I'm only really worried about maxing out my potential at L50.
