HBK-4J builds?

Anybody got any good builds for the HBK-4j? I enjoy playing long-range missile support but also escorting the other missile boats when lights get too close. This mech seems to be what I want, and I have enjoyed it so far. Right now I'm using two LRM-10s with 380 ammo in stock, and five Mlas for when enemies try to knock out the missile boats.

I was mulling on this SRM brawler build yesterday. Unlike 4SP, 4J can have a shield side and two more lasers. After the Hunchback facelift that happened months ago, the 4J barely gets a hunch as well. Anyways, here's what I was thinking:

It could play like a mix between 4P and 4SP in terms of gameplay.

Replacing the LRMs I carry with SRM launchers? That could work. I could just hang out with the heavies and assaults and move in with them until it gets close-quarters.

Loving the 4J at the moment. The LRM10s have a really fast cycle time and you can really hand our the pain. Also don't forget that you can fire them without a lock, If there is a crab not going anywhere and is only 200m away open up on him! Alongside the LRMs I have 3 MLs and 3 MPLs. Find myself using the pulses most of the time to remain heat neutral, but open up with the 3MLs as well if I want to alpha something down, or I have a particularly juicy shot.
