I found a build I like for using this Augment. I end up with 9 shadows for 54% damage reduction within 50 meters, lasting 50-60 seconds.

Shield of Shadows, obviously. Vitality because I think it's silly to run on base health.

Narrow Minded on rank 4-6. That will reduce range by 30-42%, so put in max Stretch to put you just above 100%. (Giving you over 50m, which is fine.) Also Primed Continuity, or regular Continuity if you don't have it.

Transient Fortitude. 1 from the top seems about ideal: +50% for 3 more shadows. I didn't like what Blind Rage does to your energy and I don't think the duration hit is really that bad all things considered.

Max Streamline. That seemed to be fine for me. I wouldn't use Fleeting Expertise - yes, cheaper cast makes up for longer duration, but you also need to get constant kills to fill up your buffer or you spawn under capacity. And I just didn't need it.

And then there's one spot left, which I'd say you can use for preference. Constitution for more duration, Intensify for 2 more shadows, Flow for some padding, Natural Talent if you don't like going into cover on recasts, or even the Despoil augment if you've gotten addicted to it.

It's a nice augment that's worth my second config slot. Not my main "Desecrate spammer" build, but something I actually have more fun using.
