I've got a Dark/dark defender at level 34 myself. I must say it is one of the most rewarding characters I have played.
The only thing I can comment on your build is that IMHO you should pick Petrifying gaze over Dark Pit. A hold is always useful, it recharges pretty fast, and has the chance to hold bosses in one application. Dark pit is a very bad power (bad accuracy and only level 2 stun), or at least most player guides say so. If we han two Darks in the team it could be far more useful (for stacking).
OK.
So it will be on UNION. On Fridays. At 19.00 GMT. We can change time for next sessions if everybody is OK with that.
So far we have the following members:
JayLeonHart as Violet Shift (Kinetic / Energy) who will join us exemplared as he is level 12.
Dipstar as Angel One (Kinetic / Psy) who is level 10 already. Will exemplar too?
Melian as French Kiss (Dark/Dark)
Sinergy_X who is still considering what defender should best suit him.
Inercia. Idem.
Phil_ mentioned that fridays don't work ok with him 
_Spirit and Dead_Bleak still haven't confirmed their assistance.
I think it would be good to have at least one Radiation, one Empath and one Force Field. The only set I won't play is Empathy because I have most of it (all but Absorb Pain) on my controller. Force Field would be particularly a great benefit to the team, because we have a Dark already. Defense + To-hit debuffs sinergize extremely well.
Primaries I would like are FF, Rad and Storm. Secondaries are Electric, Psychic and Rad... If someone had some experience with those and can help me decide it would be much appreciated.
I pick sonic. Mostly for aoe mez resist (hold/imm/stun) and pretty high reist 15% base bubble and 20% bubble, so everyone gets (32+24) 56% resist next to dark (neg)nrg/psi resist we should hit cap on (neg)nrg. And if we can get a melee tank/scrapper can do a -60% also on top of dark.
Emp i have already (28def), rad also (21troller), FF just isnt my think.

thanks for advices about the dark 
i have already a rad/rad corruptor (lvl 46) and a storm/elec (lvl 33) : both are really great but FF would be a very very good plus (dispersion bubble against hold, immobilize and desorientation and as you said +def fields stacking very well with dark debuff)
- Storm is hard to play, it's a really challenge to not annoying the group with Kb and be usefull. But when you can use your powers well it's a really large benefit especially without tank and in emergency cases.
- Radiations is very classical : buff sometimes, launch great debuff on the anchor and then blast.
Both have really great debuff and can be very good, we just need a mezz protection in the group depends of what are choosing others (sonics, FF or empathy) ...
For secondary, electrical blast is lovely : with power mastery a one shot end drain, a pet who gives nice damage output, a ranged nova and a hold.
Radiations is not so good, the big point is a very powerfull ST attack : Cosmic burst, the -def debuff is not so usefull with a leadership group.
Psy : i didn't practice it at high level but it looks very nice with - rech and a lot of status effect
I'd love to join up, but unfortunately I won't have internet in the near future. Once I'm set up at my new flat, I'll look up this thread to see if there's still room. The time and date seems ok to me, it's just that I won't have a connection until I manage to set one up
Good luck!

Thanks to you for your advices on other sets...
I have given more thought to the Petrifying Gaze / Dark Pit thing. Maybe a magnitude 2 stun is not that bad in a team of defenders. Other sets (*/Sonic, */Radiation and */Psychic) also have stuns, so it could stack nicely. Whole mobs of enemies would look like a bunch of drunks...
I'm going to go storm/ something, I think.
I have decided I finally will be Radiation/Electric.
Even if FF buffs will grant everybody lovely +DEF, radiation can do a lot of To-hit debuff to enemies, so in broad terms I think it will stack nicely with Dark. AFAIK, given how the to-hit equation works, I believe +DEF and to-hit debuff works mostly the same, ins't it?
Also, Rad can heal, rez, has the lovely Accelerated Metabolism and is great against AVs.
So far, then, we are 6 offenders:
JayLeonHart as Violet Shift (Kinetic / Energy) who will join us exemplared as he is level 12.
Dipstar as Angel One (Kinetic / Psy) who is level 10 already. Will exemplar too?
Melian as French Kiss (Dark/Dark)
Sinergy_X as ?? 1 (Sonic/Sonic)
Inercia as ?? 2 (Rad/Elec)
_Spirit as ?? 3 (Storm/*)
So it will be on UNION. On Fridays. At 19.00 GMT.
We can change time for next sessions if everybody is OK with that.
We can even meet sooner in the first session if you want.
It would be great if more people joins us and we can get a full team. Dead_Bleak still hasn't confirmed his assistance. Will you come?
One Empath would be good to for because Empathy has some of the nicer buffs availabe (RAs, Fortitude, Adrenaline Boost)
Another */Elec would be great too, to stack the endurance drain on enemies (for absolute pwnage). Could that be you, _Spirit? Storm/Elec seem to fit thematically (ask those Cabal Witches, )
I will post a linkie to this thread in the UNION server section. Hope Kerensky doesn't pwn me or something... we can always debuff him if he tries...
I'm going sonic/archery
So on top of the massive acc/resist debuff, i bring the massive resist buff-bubble(and hold/imm/stun protection) with a empathstyle CM (although its lvl26 iirc)..

personnally i can play every monday since friday and beginning at 18.00 (english hour)not getting bed to late (22.00) because of the work ...
for dark pit i thougt mixed it with opressive gloom at lvl 41 but a nice immo is also a good choice don't know yet but i have time to choose 
kinetic, sonic, storm, rad and dark a lot of - res + dgts - speed - rech poor mobs
Yeah, I'm Storm/Elec. Flat Tyu Lance.
Update on team powersets:
JayLeonHart as Violet Shift (Kinetic / Energy)
Dipstar as Angel One (Kinetic / Psy)
Melian as French Kiss (Dark / Dark)
_Spirit as Flat Tyu Lance (Storm / Elec)
Sinergy_X as Unnamed offender 1 (Sonic / Archery)
Inercia as Unnamed offender 2 (Rad / Elec)
I think we'll rock. 
Aaaaaaaahhh!!
I haven't thought of that!
We need a name!*
The team needs a name. "One that strikes fear in the hearts of my enemies" (quoted form Batman's first issue)
Also, should we create a new SG or should we be included in a pre-existant SG? Or should everyone belong to his own SG?
I was thinking that the nicest thing would be to only play together (so nobody outlevels the others). Also, some building decissions depend on teaming with the others. E.g: rely on the stacked to-hit buffs of tactics and not slot accuracy in any power. Other thing is that we could rely in the +recovery powers of other teammembers and not pick the fitness pool... those things could be fatal when trying to solo.
Together we should be strong as a chain, alone we would be as useless as a single link. (That one is mine)
I believe that could also be cool to have something in common in the way of looks. Not an uniform, but maybe a couple details, like a chest emblem and some colour touches.*
What do you people think?
(Am I posting too much? ) 
My main home is Defiant, we do have our own SG at union but i'm good with anything Lets not be too optimistic yet, many of the 'all AT' things die not much later.

How about... The Offending Octonions
Why?
- We are Offenders
- We have 8 members (or should have)
- We are on Union, Union = Onion
What is an Octonion, you ask?
@Jay Leon Hart
Kerensky: this has nothing to do with underwear
Zwillinger: I put on my robe and wizard hat...
Synapse: I had to resist starting my last post off with "Yo dawg!"
Octonions lack popularity as per your link
personnally i don't have any sg on union, i'm open to join one already created or to go in a new one.
what about "Duty's Fraternity" or "Octopus" ?
i have some computer problems in this moment, i 'll be there but risk to deco often ... i'll format my computer monday to make it clean for the next time.
Angel one is now 12 (and im going to want to play her a bit more than just once a week )
..so i might aswell start from scratch if the names available Angel Two or similar shall be a kin/elec signing up for duty!!
dark / dark defender, i'll create him tonight, play it a bit and be on union tomorrow at time. I'll send you a message when connected Inercia.
