Lack of an IAS is the first thing I notice and Chilling isn't that good.

I run D/W?

Irresistible Sweep
Radiant Scythe
Dust Cloak/Staggering Force
Heart of Fury
Avatar of Balthazar
Mystic Regeneration
Eternal Aura
Save Yourselves!

but you can swap out some like mystic regen for aura of holy might if you have good healers. But its a good selfproviding build like this.

Though i would say go dwayna with a mm and heal the frontline every few seconds. Good flesh shield

Drop self heals, especially cast time self heals, they are useless, healers heal much more efficiently, use your scythe and swing it.

Get your IAS in gear it ups your damage by more then any other skill available (and it boosts adrenaline gain so you can spam moar).

You can get away without bringing a res sig / hard rez, thats what heroes are for.

Drop Mystic Twister, your only ever going to be able to cast one or two off every 20 seconds when you factor in adrenaline build up and recharge time. Bring another attack skill or flash enchantment (since you have adrenaline increases you are going to be able to use TMS more often which means more damage, so you want more feeder enchants to power it).

Where is "For Great Justice!" ?

If you're using AoB, I assume you plan on making use of adrenaline skills. And if that's so, FGJ is practically a requirement.

Of course, this locks you into /W. Which then gives you access to "Save Yourselves!", which you should be bringing anyway, since you are an adrenaline-heavy melee character.

Ava form
twin moon sweep --> drop
chilling victory --> drop, cold damage isn't armor ignoring
vital boon --> drop for something useful... Armor of sanctity?
mystic twister --> drop, cold damage isn't armor ignoring
heart of holy flame --> drop for Balthazar's Rage or Zealous Renewal

...

10+1 Mystic
12+1+1 Scythe
