Other notes
Throw shredders often to support your crowd control teammates if you're using them. Out For Blood and Born Leader become particularly useful for toughness regen.
If you're dealing with bosses, keep stacking debuffs like Focus Target (if selected) and brittleness from armourbane (if selected).
