Right now, I'm working on a concept build. It's only level 11, but I have tried the base idea on a few of my mid 20's toons, and spent a fortune with it, but for some reason, i just cant come out with a good concept for a Vampire build. I didn't want to go the whole summoner pet route. i was thinking more of a melee type of vamp, one that uses his strength and speed perhaps. One that is survivable, easy to level with (solo).
I went heavy on martial arts, something like Righteous Fists, Thundering Kick, BCR, LR and form of the tempest. It works, but it feels..lacking to be honest. At this point, any sort of vamp build would be much appreciaed.

Here is a sample Vampire Themed build that is able to Main Tank and solo quite easily. Gear for Dex, Int, Ego, Pre (roughly in that order of priority); you can add some Con if you want a larger health pool.
This build is more on the Tough/Tanky side. You can adjust it for a DPS build instead by swapping out Quarry for Invulnerability and dropping the Challenging Strikes and Crippling Challenge. However, Tanky builds are usually easier to solo with.
You can also switch out the attacks for another powerset if you prefer. I just chose the Bestial for theme purposes. This build order should be easy to level with.
Let me know if you have any questions. Enjoy!

I've tried it out on the level 11 now, and it's working great. The only question i have is which role would you go with. I'm running in Guardian at the moment, and may give brawler a try. Protector made me unkillable, the only problem was killing became almost painfully slow for levelling.

You will notice a HUGE boost to DPS and Energy management once you hit 14 and get FotT. It is the core of the Offensive side of the build much like INV is the core of the Defense.
For leveling, running this in Guardian should be the fastest. After level 17 or so, running in Protector will probably be just as fast (after you get MSA + FotT).
Gear with this Stat Priority when you can: Dex, Int, Ego, Con. You can go for Pre instead of Con if you want to boost your Threat and Heals.
I have reordered some powers in the build for hopefully smoother leveling. Take a heal sooner if you feel the need, though I doubt you will.

Oh it's ran perfect. Currently at 40, and having no issues with tanking, or surviving most things on elite.
