It's possible to stay in Dwarf most of the time, but even if you six-slot everything with top-of-the-line Set IOs/HOs, you're going to suck royally at killing anything since your damage output is so low.
Warshades would fair better than PBs due to Mire, but they'd be squishier and they'd still suck at damage.
Unless you team with a Pocket Kinetic BuffBot 24/7, I'd strongly advise against going "Dwarf-only".
What you could do is build a good Human/Dwarf Hybrid Peacebringer and alternate between Light Form and Dwarf Form for "perma mez protection". Stick a Force Feedback +Rech proc and maybe a Damage Proc or two in Dwarf Flare plus some +rech set bonuses and you'll be looking at about a 50-50 split between LF and Dwarf.

This is sort of what I do (at least if I'm solo).
I think a supadwarf would be possible, as you could use slots in other forms to get IO set bonuses that would be useful in dwarf form.
I guess the problem would be, you are basically stuck with an inferior tanker, without the flexability of a typical keldian build. So you would probably be better playing a full tanker.
I really should do something about this signature.
No Fun.
He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.
I tried working out an IO set bonus based build for a Nova peacebringer. The idea was I used the self-buffs from human form and would be in nova form at all other times. Any slotting in non nova-form powers was either for the self-buffs or just to get useful IO set bonuses/placing uniques etc.
I -really- like the look of nova form, so it was a total concept thing - I'm aware I could just play a blaster.
From memory, it was pretty tough. I six-slotted each of the nova powers, and I think the form itself but then it was still hard to get enough other things with enough slots to actually get to the good set bonuses (which are all for five or six slots).
I suppose if you have influence to burn you could get some purple sets and all the uniques available. That, imho, would make it workable. Just with regular set bonuses, it wasn't looking too great.
Hehe... I never wanted to go perma-dwarf. Was just thinking wether it would be fun and worthwhile to do so. I luv the dwarf form for it's cool-ness (and the self-heal ofc) and will keep it for that 
My PB stays tri-form and the supa dwarf will rest in peace
Here is a build for an almost pure nova for PB, just for fun:

Pretty nice... but could be rather boring in the long run to stay nova

You're underestimating how much I like squid :-D
I was wondering... Is it possible to make dwarf form your primary form for both dmg and res?
I am aware that it would imply only 3 attacks, a somewhat low resist (compared to tanks) and a handy self heal as only powers, but it would be so cool
Let me know your feelings on this matter.
