Well umm... Some things I didnt like about your build:
1) LBE is a lame ranged attack, doesnt really fit my characters background (nor does torrent either, but hey, better than LBE)
2) I had lotus, never used it, would rather have divine avalance instead of it for some melee defence to last longer
3) I dont like hasten because once it is on, another time it is not :/
4) I want resist elements, even íf people say it's bad. I want it to max out my resistances :/

Discussed your build with Tene, and can't see anything really bad with that original build you got there. Maybe some differences in slotting things but nothing really critical. About keeping the attack chain up, only one way to really find out - Copy to test server, respec, test.
About Divine Avalance - Get it, slot it. What most people don't realize is that Invulnerability is a mostly defense-based set with high resistance to smashing/lethal (and to just about everything when you're Unstoppable).
Your main protective power is Invincibility and it's +def, not +res. The problem with it is that it will mess up tankers' karmas when you're running it as you are constantly taunting enemies with it.
I would go for Hasten, even if it's not "your prefrence", since it becomes useful to have Divine Avalance and Dull Pain up a bit more often when things go pear-shaped.
LBE and Energy Torrent are easilly skippable. You have enough mobility in PvE situations to fight stuff up close and personal and your defenses are better the more people are in Melee Range.
Note - I'm not a scrapper specialist.

I can't much comment Inv, as I don't anymore remember my Kat/inv scrapper, because deleted her after lvl 46.
I don't have much to comment. I think You have put to much weight You damage. You have taken so many damage powers and most even with Rechg. Also because You have Focused Accuracy, You ability hit is pretty good.
Taking someting like Hasten, would help You A LOT more than some Gambler's Cut.

There are a few things I want to know about this build:
1) What is the downtime of my divine avalance, if I cant stack it?
[/ QUOTE ]
No downtime even unslotted. You can double stack it with that slotting constantly, and get a very very brief overlap with triple stacking. I wouldn't bother double stacking it in normal attacking, but it's useful to chain DA-GD-DA-SD... when up against tougher mobs like EBs/AVs/GMs.
[ QUOTE ]
2) Can I keep up my attack chain?
[/ QUOTE ]
Yes. You could chain GD-SD-SOTW constantly for maximum DPS if you ran Hasten or had a recharge in GD/SD. As it is you'll need to use Flashing Steel to fill-in, but you'll still basically have a constant chain without DA.
Gamblers' cut is rubbish damage. Hasten or even The Lotus Drops would help more. Energy Torrent without Recharges or an Endred isn't really that useful, I run Hasten and have two recharges in ET and I still wish it was up more often.
[ QUOTE ]
3) Would this work in PvP? Any changes towards more PvP survivability except swapping travel power, SJ is the only travel power I can use, hate every else :P also slotting sprint and/or hurdle wont happen.
[/ QUOTE ]
Hurdle + CJ/SJ is fine in PVP. You'll be fine against one-on-one melee combat... but you'll have issues with stalkers without tactics or a PBAoE. With absolutely no ranged abilities, slows or a -fly move you'll also have problems chasing down runners/fliers. Aid Self is also useful in PVP, Dull Pain is a good heal but with all that energy damage floating about it might not quite cut it alone if you're fighting a group of villains.
Katana's soft control is mostly Knockdown/Knockback which is fine in PVE but in PVP most people will be running Acrobatics so don't expect it to help your survivability much.
First shot with hero builder, and I'm not really sure about if I could keep up with the attack chain. Endurance should be manageable since I have the same number of end reducers on all powers as I have now and I dont have any problems with end.
