This build is strong in Sunqua Peak CM and Silent Surf CM. In power groups and other bosses this build will perform very poorly compared to Power Soulbeast - the power damage counterpart.
Hybrid Soulbeast is a DPS build with very high sustained damage but not much utility. This build is intended to be used only for 99 and 100 CMs. For most other fractals, especially if your group is playing power builds, you will be better off playing the power variant found here.
This build has a relatively unforgiving rotation and can be awkward to play in pugs due to a lack of CC. However, Hybrid Soulbeast is one of the highest damage builds on 99 and 100CM when played correctly.
Equipment
This build uses the Jade Bot Core: Tier 10 in combination with 9 and 9 . However you can also run 15 and 3 with , giving you the same stats.
If you need to drop a utility skill should be replaced.
If healing isn't an issue, provides a slight dps increase over .

Rotation / Skill usage
