Everything your using including gear and build is exactly what I use and so far it's doing great. Don't use a DEX bunny (Sorry Shadow) as extra hit% borders uselessness and the trade off of dodge for crit isn't worth it for a bear.
As Trenton said, a quick Beckon Stomp will place your opponent next to you while Beckon (Slight Delay) Stomp will make them fly. And if you are playing a mage, this will make them panic and heal, allowing you to land HS and keep them HSed for at least 4 seconds. You might want to consider trading a point in Beckon for a point in SMS. 6 Beckon is really only useful when you Beckon and are being repulsed at the same time. DON'T take points off of stomp. If Beckon and HS both misses, Stomp is your only chance of stunning them, especially against birds.
Honestly, you can mix and match any points for SMS, Stomp, and Beckon and still get a winning build since at 56, bears dominate and takes virtually no skill.
