As you may have heard/read, super-statting Dex without Ego (and vice versa) is generally not as good as Dex/Ego (although with a fair bit of gear you can replace the Ego). Not sure how End figures into a DPS build, since most are Dex/Ego or Str/Con.

The other thing you might look into, unless it's a typo, is the ice form at 17. Since you don't have any real ice-damage dealing moves (ice cage looks like the only ice related move sans travel power, and thats just a hold) so it really won't help outside slowing enemies down when they hit you.

Grab the fire form and you shouldn't really need too much more End, which means you might be able to grab Pre (a fire mod, IIRC) or more likely Str (damage, though it doesn't effect fire outside super-statting I believe), Con (survivability is nice, especially after the nerfs to passives), or Ego (to team up with your Dex).

The only thing the previous poster is right about, is the Dex/ Ego thing. It's been said countless times, but I don't know how true it is.

The other thing is.. you're taking ice form because it buffs all elemental damage and scales with endurance instead of presence, which is a good thing.
