Build me a DM/SD

tl;dr version: I want a DM/SD build with Teleport as the main travel power

Long version: I've got my DM/SD Scrapper up and in working conditions, I've already successfully completed Maria's arc and Mender Silos' TF and I'm happy with her performance so far.

But, there is one thing I'm not quite content about: her travel power choice.

Call me a carebear, roleplayer, concept queen, or any insult you can think of, but I just cannot fully enjoy my dark amazon of the Netherrealm (who steals the souls of her victims and summons deadly conducts of negative energy to punish her foes) bunnyhopping around in the streets of Paragon City :-/

Flight also doesn't convince me, since I'm not quite used to hovering and maneuvering around in a tight pack of SD/AAO fueling minions/lieutenants around an AV.

Super Speed? doesn't quite feel right, too colorful and bright for the dark themed character. Maybe when color customization comes out and I can tint the superspeed black or dark purple and call it "Shadow Swiftness" or something, but for now it just doesn't feel right

That would leave Teleport as the only travel power choice I'll be happy with. But that means I'd be losing that precious 1.88% defense to all positions from either Hover or CJ, and I don't think I can live with that either

This is my current build

It has softcapped defenses, 35% res to S/L, 58.75% recharge, 2.1k hp, 310% regen, 3 EPS recovery with 1 EPS drain (making CP and DC a MUST) and around 80% DDR

Now, the favor I want to ask the gods of scrapping in this forum is to make me a viable build with Teleport as a travel power, with the following restrictions:

-At the very least 44.5% defense to all positions
-50% global recharge
-Sustainable recovery for long AV fights
-300% regen
-No purple damage sets (other purples like stun and immob are fine)
-All attacks must be slotted as attacks
-SL has to be slotted as a heal first then as an attack (with similar numbers to the current build, 90% heal, 70% damage)

Could this be done? or am I getting too presumptuous? I'd like to hear advice from the experts to help me build my TP'n DM/SD

Thanks in advance for your helpful advice!

Looking at your build as is, it seems that Ranged Def is only 43.6% currently unless I'm missing something.

I am having a similar issue with my build, I had a, lets call it a cheap build, with Air Superiority and Fly, plus CJ, Fitness, and Fighting. Once I hit the late 30's I found myself wishing my attack chain was a bit tighter. About the only thing I've come up with is dropping Air Sup and Fly for SJ and Hasten. After that the only real differences I see between our power selections is I plan on taking OwtS instead of CP.

One thing you could consider, if concept is really important doing a SD/DM tanker will net higher defense values giving more freedom in reaching the soft cap. That might make it easier to take teleport.

QR,

Just get that Warshade temp teleport power and call it a day. You'll have to refresh it whenever it runs out but at least you'll have teleport.

I think it only lasts 3 hours or something.

actually Teleport is a very good choice, since all four powers in it can be sloted with BotZ's

Cause I'm bored and like a good mid's challenge, my attempt is below. I think it meets all your criteria, but take a look. I worked backwords form my own proposed build, so its a little messy, also, it dosent have hasten, but you could swap it in for Teleprt Foe and find the ranged defense elswhere maybe...

Well, It was a fun exercise anyway, here you go:

Soul drain needs to hit to work. Gaussian's isn't boosting it's accuracy at all, and 9% global accuracy won't cut it.

That wasn't a bad attempt, but that build is still a tad low on defenses

There's a very nice template for a softcapped build in John Printemps' Shields guide that includes Teleport. Start from there and work your way up to a full build.
