New Arms RA advice

Hey all. Looking for some advice on RA progression for my new lvl 50 armsman. Went back through a dozen pages or so but looking to get some more current advice. I'm a slash spec :
50 pole
42 shield
39 slash
rest parry

And so far I have invested in:
LW
Tireless
Purge 2
Det 6

I plan to pick up Det 7 next and then I was thinking about grabbing IP as it is only 1 more point than Det 8 before finishing up and getting Det 9. My question is whether I should stop to grab IP first or just truck on and finish Determination first? IP is definitely something I would like to have, perhaps even IP 3/4 (though not until higher RR). My next question is where do I go after Det 9 and IP? I was looking at MoA for magic damage reduction but how many points to I invest; lvl 3 is 5% at a low investment, which seems like a good choice, but do I go farther? What about Toughness; lvl 3/4 is not a bad return for investment. Is it worth it though? And how about Moblock/parry; is it worth investing a couple points each? I don't think I would want to go too far in to those lines.

Thanks for looking

It really depends on your playstyle... I can think of 4 that require different RA setups: solo, zerg, 8-man peeler, 8-man dps

RR5 Solo
Tireless
LW
Purge 3
IP 2
MOB 5
start saving up for IP 3 or jump straight into MOP, then aug str (your main source of damage will be with pole during slam, get those heavy crits in!)

RR5 zerg
Tireless
LW
Purge 2
Det 8
MOP 5
start saving for Det 9, but use the points now to increase crit chance with MOP since you'll be primarily using polearm in zerg. Once you have Det 9, pump future points into MOP and Aug Str to increase damage. Also might drop purge altogether if you want to stick with Det 9 and use the extra points for MOP/Aug Str early on to maximize damage

8-man Peeler
Tireless
LW
Purge 2
Det 9
Dashing Defense 1
Start saving for Dashing Defense 2 or start building up MOB

8-man DPS
Pretty similar to zerg except you want Det 9 ASAP, might even invest in Soldier's Barricade down the road, as well as MOP/Aug Str



That's my input, others might have other advice
