Exactly. I actually run semi-Hybrid most of the time; everything party-spec but Elemental Screen (which I can swap in if necessary), and Disorienting Blow for the occasional knockdown. It really works for me; unless I need Screen, I rather like the extra damage and knockdown I occasionally get.
Then, when it's time for boss fights, swap to my Cruc hammer/shield and cast speed gloves, healing boost setup in general, and pop a cast scroll -- I'm set.
PvP I've started to get a bit better at (Disorienting is really nice when it's up, very few expect it when they see my Invinc Mantra up), with cruc body/legs/head/weapon and 40e shoulders/gloves/boots.
