This build can pass you even on Auric Damnation as I use this myself and pass them with a good/decent team.
This is marked as a support build because it is as such and cannot carry the mission on your own, so play this as a support role, especially if you feel in a lazy mood while gaming.
Final note, builds can only do so much to help you pass, you need to rely on your own skills, playstyle and experience to carry the other portion of the gameplay.
