Trickster defences

Any fellow trickster players played around with different defence setups?

Like, Eldritch battery with MoM and Life/Energy shield hybrid, do you throw acrobatics into the mix?

What do you feel is the best, what do you prefer?

I'm pretty much defaulting to EB+MoM because i like how i can reserve all my mana, but i feel that it falls off defensively in red maps. As a side note, how much energy shield do you like to have for this setup?
