Another build, this time E/Me Mind Blaster

Alright, so I am spamming the forums with random build ideas. This one I think has some potential, but I would like everyone's feedback, both in PvE and PvP. Thanks.

Attributes:

Energy Storage=12
Fire Magic = 12
Earth Magic >=9
Inspiration Magic hopefully around 4 or 5

Skills:
1.) Mantra of Earth
2.) Stone Striker
3.) Kinetic Armor
4.) Mind Blast {E}
5.) Liquid Flame
6.) Rodgort's Invocation
7.) Meteor or Immolate
8.) Res Sig or Glowing Gaze (with Immolate)

Use:
Cast Stone Striker followed by Kinetic Armor before going into the fight, then Mantra of Earth. Basically use Mantra, Stone Striker, Geomancer armor and Kinetic Armor as damage mitigation, and Mantra, Mind Blast, and Glowing Gaze as e-management. Metoer/Immolate, Rodgort's and Liquid Flame deal most of the damage with Mind Blast as Spammable damage for a net energy gain and to maintain Kinetic Armor. Immolate is also somewhat spammable for decent damage and nearly constant burning.

Concerns:
No healing, hex removal,or spells to deal with degen. If you can kill enemies fast enough, that shouldn't be an issue. So it might work pretty well in PvE but would most likely require a monk in PvP.

What do you guys think?

So is this a solo build?

If you're going to waste half your slots on defensive skills, why wouldn't you just run cookie cutter geotank? Mind you, I'm not saying geotanks are good for anything other than soloing, but neither is this.

Mind blast really shines when you use it to not only power your nukes, but to power really expensive utility that other classes can't handle, like aegis, extinguish and convert hexes. My current mind blaster looks like this.

[skill]mind blast[/skill][skill]fireball[/skill][skill]rodgort's invocation[/skill][skill]incendiary bonds[/skill][skill]aegis[/skill][skill]fire attunement[/skill][skill]vengeance[/skill] optional slot

optional slot can be phoenix (for spiking out those damn scarabs in the jungle HM) mark of rodgort, to turbocharge your teammates and turn mind blast into a cheap immolate, convert hexes if hexes are an issue, extinguish if conditions are an issue, flame djinn's haste because it's so damn sexy, or whatever.
