Warrior/Knight lv 103 alternatives

I don't have a mythic and haven't earned a special spear like Infidel, which I want, or Black Aramanth.

I had originally posted 2 alternatives an then noticed a third, with an option that kind of creates a fourth, I could do with on hand gear.

This is the build that just beat the fire boss. I like the power and walk speed Crack the Skies gives me, but in game the actual mana regen is 32/5s and I do see the ugly message about being unable to cast a spell sometimes. It does have enough main power to keep most mobs in my face from killing me while I wait for regen and has the walk speed to make escape possible before charge is available (which isn't really all that long).

But I never hear/read anything about Crack the Skies being a good spear at this level and they are pretty readily available. And it is hard to say whether it or this improved tanky build (way more ehp than I had before and a good bit more hp) is responsible for finally beating the fire boss.

EDIT - When it occurred to me to add Bedruthan in the post below, it also occurred to me that switching rings to drop power and gain mana regen is also an option for the above build.

Another alterative is Tidebinder. It is in a lot of conversations about spears for this level if you don't have a mythic or a dungeon earned spear. In game, it's actual mana regen is 53/5s and it adds 13 Intelligence points for a slight boost in mana capacity. But the attack numbers are anemic compared to Crack the Skies. So the trade-offs are weaker spells but the ability to cast more in the same amount of time, weaker main but it won't have to keep mobs at bay as long and slower walk speed but charge available sooner if I ran out of mana.

I am looking for feedback, especially if you think I should go with Tidebinder. I feel like I am missing something in my decision making. It may well be the tree needs adjustment to favor a water spear also. I am still learning and don't think I am smarter than all the people who keep recommending Tidebinder as posibly the best alternative if you don't have a mythic or earned spear.

Trying to stick with armor choices, though I do have some other bits, but a little resistant to spending emeralds right now as my war chest is not to large right now and I expect to need to pick up some pieces moving forward, plus I have an archer at lv 96 that needs attention, though I currently have him on looting duty and may find his own (has to some degree already, and found some of these pieces)

But wait, there's more...
I had this in the "sell" inventory, but it is another possibility. Points required a ring change (one I have).

I also have a second Photon, that would add 8/5s. I got 100% of possible mana regen on both of them; I got really good Photons from the quest with no additional rolling. So better mana regen, but a little less power.
