Clones, rounding out the squad

Been running a clone team well b4 Echo was released.
Rex (L)
5's
CS
RG
ST Han

I dropped Han to add Echo, an expensive upgrade. Looked good on paper. An aoe dispel, heals on basic for 4 of my 5 members, assists to boost tm. CS would crit more often. I have to be able to remove buffs or my low damage w/ high # of attacks becomes a battery for an opposing ST Han. Thought he was my answer. He's 7* gear IX and a disappointment. He's targetd, RG's taunt is stripped by Teebo or QGJ and he's dead. Mind u, he helped me go from top 20 to top 10, but his low health and being the 1st targeted (by AI no less) are not allowing him to live up to his potential. B4 I go with the next "looks good on paper" addition, I would like feedback. Your thoughts on:

Rex (L)
5's
CS
RG
B2

Appreciate any insights. Thx. If it makes any difference, all toons r lvl 80, 7* and Rex is gear XI, RG and CS r gear X, 5's and Echo r gear IX. Don't have B2...yet. Without any input, I am torn...B2 or Phasma...but if I run Phasma, I'll be dropping RG instead of Echo

    I've got Echo at 7*, 80, Gear 9 and he's actually working out pretty solid. I usually run Ahsoka with them as an extra...it can be a pretty effective arena team.

    I was asking a similar question to you and was going to try RG with the 4 clones. I really like having a burst healer to augment the steady regen they do. Lumi is a safe, versatile option...just a bit to slow. Clone teams work best with high TM characters that can compliment them.

    You mentioned Phasma earlier...her support skills and additional attacks actually work really well. I've had her, Fives, and Echo pretty much turn into a basic attack slinging machine during a couple matches. Add in a Dooku and you could have several tactical options.

    I won't run Plo Koon instead of Echo. Echo gives more tm thru addl. attacks, aoe dispel, more crit to CS, and the heals on basics aren't great but not bad. Clone damage is fairly low already and Plo's meager damage will make it worse. It's down to B2 instead of Echo (yes I know his dmg. is low too, but he attacks so often and can dispel so often I am OK w/ it) or Phasma instead of RG. Want input on which u folks think would b better.

    Echo truly comes into force at gear X with omegas from personal experience. Double heal and some extra power on his primary is needed.

    I run:
    Rex XI
    Echo X, Omega on Primary & Passive
    Fives IX, Omega double tap
    Leia (instead of CS), Omega stealth
    Sun Fac

    Generally #1 on my shard at moment, I find Sun Fac solved the Ben / Han situation, replacing my RG, as if RG is also in the opponents mix it takes too many turns for Echo's grenade to refresh after Han. I'm thinking of switching out Sun Fac for B2, got it 7*. In trials Echo triggers off of B2s multi attacks, so some synergy. So I'd bolster Echo to gear X and look at an RG switch out.

    Btw, your Echo is being AI targeted as the AI seems to use your characters power / health in its order prioritisation. He's your lowest gear power so he'll get picked on. When I took him to gear X the AI started to pick on Fives quite a bit instead, which is nice :)
