BUILD: Angorodon Spike, Because Eddie wants a spike build--please comment

The current meta is very balanced, with 2 meleers, 2 monks, a flagger, and the other characters mitigating damage/interrupting/etc. In other words, it's a strong defense meta in order to counter the very strong melee combinations possible.

Eddie, though, wants a spike. We frankly do not do at all well with spikes, so we need the practice. The only real spike I've seen has been from Xen of Ownslaught (now part of DF Alliance, not XoO).

I put the build up on gwshack here.

The monk bars are not 100% known. I think they change, depending on monk preferences.Eddie would like to see a hard res or two and Cry of Frustration. I think we need another copy of Enfeebling Blood.

Please comment.

Edit: Reworked attributes as per LurkerWyrm. Added in Sig of Rejuvenation. Added Heal Area to #8 after watching Xen of Ownslaught.

Note: Supposedly a dual ele build can bring this down easily due to the fact that this build requires players to be close together. Two SF eles can do enough AoE to severely tax the healing capabilities of this build. XoO's defense against the dual ele build was to go after one of the eles right away, then take out a mesmer before going after the monks.

Edit #2: Swapped out Enfeebling Touch for Enfeebling Blood. The idea here is for there to be an Off-target enfeebled character in case the first character has the condition removed. http://www.theamazonbasin.com/gw/forums/index.php?showtopic=8908
