UPDATED!^^ (Works with OP 0-8)
Here is the new Level 72 build:
Teamplay: http://bl2skills.com/siren.html#055051055150053100004555010501
Single Player:

This is a FAST-PACED build that lets you casually tear through most groups of enemies
in just 1 or 2 shots with the SWORDSPLOSION!!! shotgun (1 or 2 shots = 5 to 10 kills).
No Bee required, constant health regen when you want,
and no pressure in record time.
Must-have Equipment:
-CASUAL SWORDSPLOSION!!! (More swords = More damage)
-Grog (This is your main source of healing)
-Rough Rider shield (To activate Fleet)
Any of the following coms will do:
-Breakneck Banshee (For maximum speed)
-Legendary Cat (For maximum damage)
-Legendary Binder com (For maximum combos, just make sure to move Mind’s Eye points to Sweet Release if you want more healing)
-Any other equipment is optional.
Some notes:
-I have removed Blight Pheonix completely because I hate getting killed by barrels, and in my opinion the amount of health I get back (Using the Grog) from the damage done to enemies is too low, on top of needing to be in close proximity for it to activate. I moved those points to Flicker instead of Chain Reaction because Swordsplosion doesn’t shoot bullets, and that’s the only weapon you really need for the build aside from the Grog.
-The general strategy has not changed much from my original build so feel free to read the rest of the ‘outdated’ portion below.
THIS PART OF THE BUILD IS OUTDATED, SO PROCEED WITH CAUTION!!! BUT I WILL LEAVE IT AS IS FOR POSTERITY. READ ON FOR STRATEGIES AND HOW TO USE IT IN A GENERAL SENSE.

The build: http://bl2skills.com/siren.html#055051255100000000000555010551
Required Equipment:
-SWORDSPLOSION!!! shotgun (Casual preferred)
-Grog Nozzle
(Or Ruby, but doesn’t matter because you won’t actually be firing it)
-Rough Rider shield (For Fleet activation)
-Chrono Binder COM with at least +20% cooldown rate, +6 Suspension, +5 Reaper
-Proficiency Relic (Mine has +38% cooldown rate)
How to use:
-
Pick the weakest target and Phaselock it to converge and slag a group of enemies
so that they are bunched up and fighting each other. -
Kill the phaselocked target as fast as possible with direct fire from swordsplosion.
10 or 11/5 Reaper gives you massive damage for that first shot which can usually kill normal mobs.
(Accelerate gives the projectiles another damage boost.)
-In the process, the resulting swords should have killed everyone else
who got converged if they were regular mobs.
-If there are any survivors, the subsquence orb will catch them and start
the process over, but now the enemies will have less health and the next
few kills will come quicker.
(+11/5 Suspension and Thoughtlock give you plenty of time to clear the
first wave.)
- Swap to the grog while phaselock is active to recover health almost immediately. (No need to shoot the weapon)
(Thanks to 5/5 Helios, Cloudkill, 5/5 Blight Pheonix, and Ruin, you will be dealing damage over time for quick
and constant health regen. This is especially useful if you need to break contact briefly and reposition yourself.)
-You can time it so that as soon as you fire swordsplosion and then swap to the grog, you will regain most, if not
all your health immediately from the resulting swords that shoot out from the original explosion.
-Having a Binder COM with a high action skill cooldown rate and a proficiency relic, along with 5/5 Quicken gives
you rapid access to Phaselock so that you can quickly converge, slag, and thoughtlock again.
- If you get careless, Immolate lets you do even more damage with swordsplosion.
-Inertia is good for keeping your streak going.
-Fleet is maxed in conjunction with the Rough Rider because any slower might be unacceptable.
You want to keep up with Subsequence and be able to get to the next area quickly if necessary. Strafing and even
avoiding your own fire becomes easier. Remember, slow and steady wins the race eventually, but fast and steady
wins the race in time for supper.
Key points: Remember to keep Phaselock up as long as possible while killing quickly with Swordsplosion
so that you can continuously re-activate Sub-sequence, Converge, and Ruin. There is very little waiting time during
cooldown and during that time you have Fleet, Inertia, and Immolate to keep you from dying, while Cloud Kill and
Blight Pheonix with the Grog give you great health regen.
