I have edited my first post and removed the raiding builds.
Those were not mine and I don't raid so can't defend them/elaborate on them.

I disagree i've probably tested everything possible in Raids and on Strae men,
1. You don't deal more dmg with hybrid spec in Raids or on Straw Men, not less but not more for sure
2. Even if you did you'd be dead
Don't underestimate fully feated melee dmg in the "general"? tree.
We've probably got some of the best if not the best tanks on mitra and you are able to get aggro even with 21% - hate with some Bosses. You run into Problems with shard Management if you've got a good rota and start using avatar/Lotus Overdose Cod and Crimmson Lotus pollen, which ultimately costs u dps.
With a tribrid build (asuming tanks are tanking) only Neks will surpass your dps.
By the way:
As Shink said having Grave Blossom feated doesn't mean u have to use it.
Yeah i don't use it, that is why i felt it a waste of 5 points to get to Baneful Venom. I will test a build with it and see what it will do for me.
Maybe something like this one? http://goo.gl/IgjtD
Yep but having feated in general tree i have the tools to get rid of it at once, and keep my dmg up without pauses(or minimal). And i don't only mean Bosses with aggro reset. It'S my opinnon and works very well for me , Hybrid doesnt (in Raids), that's all I'm saying.
I'm amazed to see how many people spec into lotus overload for raids. I can only see this feat being usefull for the entity fight.
@whoever wrote tribrid is on par with/better than hybrid:
No. Just. No.
What sort of DPS do you do on Strwa Man from spawn to despawn with a Hybrid spec? (Using Cod and Crimmson Lotus Pollen) ? I'm interested, maybe I'm missing something.

I am using the above build, but I am wondering if it's worth dropping Steeped Lotus Extract & Soul Destruction for Vile Corruption. Below is what I am thinking about...
http://goo.gl/QHB0j
Would the addition of another DOT by GC outweigh the boost to SDS dot & bomb? The drawback is I think GC has a fairly long duration, but another dot could technically be better than additional dmg & crit on sds dot & bomb?
Thoughts?
For pure dmg specs I drop snap kick & stun for damage, but I keep them for all around specs.
I usually run with 4 points in lotus extract and 4 in soul destruction.If i had to favour one i would take extract in most of the cases.
If you aim for a build with both baneful venom and vile corruption i would recommend 4 points in each at least but bear in mind it's not better at all from the other option.Will jsut give you lower agro but also lower burst in cases you might want to do more.
In your builds i find you lack lotus overdose for no good reason despite spending the points to be able to get it(far better dps from kidney shots choice for example). Also some other points i find misplaced but that's what stands out more.And you have not included miasma :soul strike but i guess that's an accidental mistake ?
