...oh and the damage portion is going from 7~ to 10~.

The portals in the Honoree mission are not a problem. You can bum-rush-kill the first one fairly easily - they don't have a lot of health - and you can ignore the others. Beyond that point, you can pull Holtz and the Honoree (who won't aggro unless attacked or approached) one by one and dealt with separately. You can then leave the mission with the other portals still running, or try to attack the 50+ aliens who've amassed around them. "/target_custom_next portal" helps a lot then.

I would assume you would still get the crash from the first Unstoppable since it is technically a set of effects that trigger when you click the power but have a 180 second delay rather than something actually triggered by the power wearing off. Using Burnout to hit Unstoppable again right before the crash should leave you at 10% health and no endurance but with Unstoppable's resists and recovery boost active. If you slot Unstoppable to cap your resists with no toggles going it should make the crash much more survivable, especially on a tank (10% health + 90% resists is still reasonably sturdy).

It'll make 6 SOs do the work of 7.5..

The thing to keep in mind is that most situations where you want a specific Destiny a T3 destiny will be fine and T3 powers are easy to make. I wouldn't be aiming for having all T4 Destiny's but I can definitely see making a few extra T3s (especially Clarion for UGT and Incandescence for a few special cases).

PSW was as far as I know all that got "nerfed" when the set was rebalanced; and in fact "fixed" would be a better term since PSW was badly bugged. The devs knew it too; it's just that if they'd fixed PSW and left the rest of the set alone it would have been near unplayable. So they left it alone until Castle had the time to rebalance the whole set as part of the general Dominator makeover.

Most of the set was in fact buffed, and is far more playable pre-PSW than it was. I notice that DarkCurrent didn't mention Telekinetic Thrust as a melee attack; that was buffed from being a minimal damage knockback attack into a strong melee attack. It also adds some smashing damage; useful against all those psi-resistant bots you'll run into.
