Liking it a LOT and hoping the Zombie Island DLC comes out before December!
Siren-class is just perfect, it has a bit of Rogue in it (with Phase Strike being the Backstab), and the Phasewalk can be used both Defensively and Offensively.
Since the Devs are looking over Phase Strike, i've been putting my Melee-build on hold and instead use Phasewalk as a means of regroup/getting back health as well as Dazing/Slowing opponents.
I use it mostly as a defensive measure when the going gets too tough and i need to heal, but at times (when the enemies are very crowded with many charging melees, i rush in the middle, daze them and then run out and into cover, letting the team more easily handle them. Slowing them makes it easier for the Snipers too to hit em.
SMG is my weapon of choice (but use weapons of several types, if you assign four different SMGs to your four directional buttons, you will plow through SMG-ammo in no time and end up Out of Ammo fast when in a dungeon), but i also use a Repeater Pistol and a Sniper Rifle for VERY special situations.
All of my weaps have some kind of Elemental Damage (which Sirens have a skill that can boost, increasing the chance for the Proc), with either Fire, Electricity (Can stun and is great for removing Shields) etc
Also got a Class Mod that adds Corrosive damage to the Phase Blast (Corrosion is great for heavily armored opponents while Fire is best VS Fleshy ones).
With added Slow on the shots from afar (Talent is called MindGames in the Controller Tree), you can fire and forget in most situations with many enemies, letting the dots do their job.
Fire is also very fun since the enemies scream "Im burning" and you see them burn up lol.
At first i was going Brick, but Lilith the Siren is VERY fun with debuffs and a sweet way of stealthing out of combat when needed.
When Phase-Strike works correctly, i'll prolly respec into a Backstabbing Phase Striker with an added Phoenix + Dramatic Entrance on that.

My Juggernaut-build for Brick (Using Sting like a Bee to close to distance on shooting enemies, might use it at 5 / 5)
