The first hurdle is getting a Mech put together, and I was hoping I could ask some of you for some pointers. I picked out the Atlas D-DC, because I want a Mech that can do a fair bit of Tanking, but also has a good Movement speed. I eventually settled on the D-DC because while it has less armor then other mechs in it's weight class, it comes with an ECM and can put on a 360 Engine, making it decently fast. I'm aware that with assaults you want to try and have a weapon for every range, so my initial build is shaping up to look like this:

If you don't want to click the link, it's an Endo-Steel LE 360 with 4 Double sinks slotted in it, ECM, AMS with a ton of ammo, AC/5 with 3 tons, a MRM 40 with 2 tons and 2 Medium Pulse Lasers.
I was thinking about using a Gauss Rifle instead of the 2 AC/5's, but I'm terrible at aiming the Gauss and the AC/5's provide better DPS anyway.
I plan to max out the Survival tree to get all of the armor quirks as well as rushing down the Mobility tree to Speed Tweek my speed to 60+, what I wanna know is if I'm on the right track here, or if there is something I could be doing differently/ better?
Also, if there's any tips you could give me for leading a push and actually surviving long enough for it to do anything, that would be appreciated! Thanks for reading!
