Revised my build a little to see just how much defense I could push without neutering my attack power. S/L defense is at 38.98%, which, combined with RttC's to-hit debuff, actually comes out to 42.65%, assuming Mid's calculated everything correctly. Not quite soft-capped, but close enough for me not to care. Very high elemental defense too, and still boasts all the other great things about WillPower.
As far as attacks go, I do sacrifice a bit in that I don't have any damage procs in them anymore. I'm not sure if sacrificing the acc/recharge/endredux is worth another damage proc. I also revised how I slot Blinding Feint, as I didn't think the extra To-Hit was really needed on top of what I already had/got from it, and I got more defense/damage out of slotting it this way. I may have some problems against rikti drones, but I don't consider them threatening enough to revise my whole build just to take them down easier. I decided Hasten wasn't worth it as it was only reducing recasts by a second on most of my powers, which wasn't enough to justify getting rid of the defense offered by Maneuvers.
Overall, I'm pretty happy with my build. Any comments/suggestions are still welcome!

This is my DB/WP build as of now. I do not care about how expensive anything is, so feel free to suggest *anything* you think may make it better.
My biggest concern is over recharge. Typically I stack as much on as reasonably possible, but DB/ is fairly quick on it's own, and /WP has no powers that would greatly benefit from it, as far as I can see.
I'm really uncertain about Maneuvers in my build, specifically. While I do want high defense, I'm not exactly soft-capped anywhere, and I still have 2000ish HP, RttC+Other Regen, 49% S/L resists, and DB's knockdown combo's to fall back upon when defense fails me. I also worry it's one toggle too many, even with Quick Recovery and Stamina. I could replace it with Hasten, but, as mentioned previously, more recharge seems superfluous for this build.
