    I'd probably take those points and throw them in Entropic Embrance and Soul Devour.
    Like this: Reaver (32) / Warlord (19) / Vindicator (15) ?

    So Kuts, what are your main attack abilities and finishers when you're not detaunting folks or your taunts are on cooldown? I would assume sergeants order is in there somewhere. Do you just plague bring everyone or what?

    Although Kut may have a different take on it ... bang for your buck wise, you seem to get more out of EE and SD in PvP.

Granted, it has a cooldown, but still... 17 points in Champ is too much. IMHO you should either go a normal DPS build if you insist on Lingering Wounds or use Improved Trauma and tank like a boss.
    Trauma is definitely nice to have but it's not as good as LW which I can keep up indefinitely and on multiple targets at a time. I do agree it's frustrating to have to go 17 into champ to get it, but you're not only getting LW. There is good utility in the Champ tree.

    That said, I also have the tank build without any Champ and it's very solid the times I've used it.
