Mind Spike, the most unreliable mark punishment out there.
And I'll optimize the heck out of it. Without relying on any particular items.

Its Mind Spike negates attacks by sliding 5 squares, dazing, and actually happening before the attack occurs. The double usage of it is just icing. Lightning Rush is useful if you need to get into position and Forceful Reversal sets up a great catch-22.
Changes when using items:
Change Overwhelming Impact and Hindering Shield into Swift Spear and Polearm Momentum. It's gives some more control early on but loses the ability to slow and daze (although prone is always nice).
Dropping Epic Fortitude and Epic Will for Superior Initiative and items for NADs such as the Diamond Cinture and the Eye of Awareness.
And I'll optimize the heck out of it. Without relying on any particular items.
