Traits. One place to bind them all.

I wonder if everyone who has an opinion would be willing to post their thoughts in a single thread about traits, instead of tracking down all the countless threads on the topic?
Not a thread for debates, or arguments, just a place people, like myself, can return to for advise. I have short term memory issues and always have to come back and scan threads trying to remember what traits I am told others recommend. I take all of them into consideration and that's why now, at level 20, I'm basically going to be starting over with just about all my survivors, except hero's obviously.
So, without further ado, I ask if others would be kind enough to share there ideas.

I'd be open to different possibilities for an assault
Assault:
Trait 1: Iron Skin
Trait 2: Dodge
Trait 3: Marksman
Trait 4: Luck
Trait 5: Defensive Stance
Scout:
Trait 1: Iron Skin
Trait 2: Dodge
Trait 3: Retaliate
Trait 4: Ruthless
Trait 5: Luck or Power Strike
Warrior:
same as scout
Bruiser:
Trait 1: Iron Skin
Trait 2: Defensive Stance
Trait 3: Power Strike or Strong
Trait 4: Retalitate
Trait 5: Punish
Hunter: same as shooter
Shooter:
Trait 1: Marksman
Trait 2: Sure Shot
Trait 3: Ruthless
Trait 4: Luck or Revenge
Trait 5: Dodge
There are also combos like the following that are good for Interrupt weapons, with a sentry/overwatch kind of style:
Scout:
Trait 1: Iron Skin
Trait 2: Dodge or Ruthless
Trait 3: Vigilant
Trait 4: Power Strike
Trait 5: Defensive Stance
EDIT: Would also love to see something like this on gear for each class as well

As for why there might be traits that aren't useful together, this is a freemium game, so it's a random selection and some trait combos will just be more useful than others. If you want the best combinations, you either wait till they show up or you pay to get more chances.
Hunters and shooters
MARKSMAN
RUTHLESS
SURE SHOT
VIGILANT
LUCKY
(Sub VIGILANT for Revenge if you like to torture yourself)
Hunters and shooters don't need defensive traits unless you are a very, VERY sloppy player.
IMO

What do you think?
Here are the areas that I differ due to my playstyle:
Assaults - For me both Lucky and Revenge are essential because my Assaults are usually rolling with Sasha and I want her leader trait to trigger as often as possible. My Assaults are usually relatively mobile so Sure Shot isn't a must have.
Scouts - Love Power Strike in concert with Razor and the fact that I hide behind a Bruiser usually and attack at an angle. My Scouts are almost always built for max damage so Retaliate doesn't interest me much on Scouts. If I need a tanking Scout I'll usually use Gabe.
