After playing a bit, I've re-rigged my build to be almost entirely teleport-based. Shadowmeld is in there as an "oh scheisse!" button -- I don't think the heal is sufficient to make it worth leveling up.

The most obviously controversial choices are: Blink Strike, which is currently buggy, but not so much that I can't live with it, and I really love it. And no dive-bomb. It's obviously a great power, but it feels less Nightcrawler to me than a more teleport-focused build.

Strategy is dead simple on paper: for groups, blink strike in, infernal brimstone, and then blink strike. For bosses, same business, but with Brimstone Beatdown. The beauty is in the execution -- use your plain old teleport LIBERALLY to move around the battlefield. Always be behind the person you're attacking. Never stand still. And use shadowmeld if you run into trouble -- that's what it's there for.

Another revision: Flash and Grab. I was watching X2, and grabbing someone and teleporting away is too cool to pass up. I think using it as a 1-point wonder is sufficient; the damage doesn't scale so much as to make it worth more.
