Since writing my post, I have respecced to a build similar to this and I really like it!

Currently I am:
0 0 5 1
6 0 3 3
1

Essentially I took 1 point away from empathy and put it into Pain. Pain IMO is essential for boss fights. With the 3 second stun (regardless of whether or not it actually blows up) that gives the whole team a safe time to unload their damage dealers onto the boss.

I was hesitant at first because at a low skill level, my force field is a big waste of time. But at higher levels it is really effective against all mobs.

That is EXACTLY what I thought too! I am really hoping we will be able to "build" some sort of secondary attack source with our higher level skills. That would be so incredibly fun.
