It's a very mobile build that has got a very nasty catch-22 in how it deals with multiple enemies.
It doesn't stop any monsters from going anywhere, but they certainly don't want to do anything.

Strikebacks (AV)
Start every combat by moving to the middle of the fray via Fey Step (adjacent to an enemy), marking as many people as possible, hitting that target with Intellect Snap and moving to another target via Armanathor's Step and Boots of Eagerness. Enemy tries to hit you, you attack him with Forceful Reversal or your Strikebacks, and he has to bypass your THP. Enemy tries to hit your allies, you and they gain THP and you negate the attack via an Interrupt - Guardian's Counter, Dimensional Vortex, Countering Thunderclap... You can also do that with another enemy, so that can boost your survivability and your allies' significantly since you're handing THP around like nobody's business. It's both a very tough build both in defenses and in survivability since you have an average of 27 THP on you at nearly all times. It's also incredibly mobile, with a very high number of teleports.
This is probably one of my most fine-tuned builds of recently - and seemingly, I can only pull off Battleminds correctly.
It doesn't stop any monsters from going anywhere, but they certainly don't want to do anything.
