QR gets both extra slots before Stamina gets any extra slots, but they're slotted identically otherwise.

Great! Thanks again.

Nothin' on the Frankenslotting question?

I'm not sure why you don't feel like you're doing as much damage as you should. A full set of lvl 50 Crushing Impacts ventures deep into ED territory, so you should be doing the exact same damage (or a tiny bit more) as 3 lvl 50 common dmg IOs slotted. You should probably drop the Dmg/Rch and replace it with an Acc/End/Rch from Mako's or Focused Smite. That'd get you 88/97/88/63 for acc/dmg/end/rch for a Mako's lvl 50, a little less for Focused Smite since it caps at 40. The only loss is 2.5% psi resistance.|

A full set of Mako's doesn't quite reach the ED cap (92%) for dmg, but the set makes up for that with +3% to all damage (regardless of ED). It also gets pretty nice stats of "two SO's-worth" of acc/end/rch plus a proc and a fantastic sixth-slot ranged def bonus. Of course as /WP the typed set bonus isn't as nice as the positional.
Frankenslotting: If exemping isn't a question, then combining triples and quads of the highest possible level will push you to ED limits on most of the stats. The Mako's quad and triple, plus the three Crushing Impact triples, plus the Pulverizing Fisticuffs quad will get you +92% stats across the board (acc/dmg/end/rch).
Make the 30 million work for you. Patiently buy two of all the recipes you want, patiently accumulate the salvage needed to craft, and sell the duplicate IOs. You might also save money by buying and crafting lvl 49s--it's often far cheaper. Also, soloing a bit on Tenacious should bring you plenty of 41-50 common salvage, some of which is selling at stupid-silly costs at the moment (100-500k range for many pieces).

This is what is scratching my head as well. Once you start dealing with ED there isn't much to really add into damage wise since over 95% gets harder and harder to boost. Frankenslotting as I know it really isn't where you start looking to go as a level 50. You go from it early on to as many sets as you hit 50 and after that. One thing to look at is Achilles' Heel: Chance for Resistance Debuff. Since Kat has -def across the board, you can slot that in any of your attacks outside of DA.

Forgive the stupid question - does it matter what order they're slotted in?

It only matter when dishing out the slots. If you've already given it the 3 slots, it doesn't matter which enhancement goes in which slot. The point of that comment is to say that, if you've only got 1 slot, it should get the proc. If you've got 2, proc and Perf Shifter endmod, etc.

I was playing my Kat/regen and I was 'feeling' that. Perhaps too much time spent on my DM/Shield (hard to go back after routinely hitting for 500 damage and doing 600-700 Shadow Mauls), but it did feel that Kat was hitting more like a practice sword than steel.
Yet the set is gorgeous, I just love the smooth fluid animations. Even the PBAoE seems fast, jumping and dropping and then no pause in getting up and back to slashing. Whatever feel I get of not hitting that hard is more than made up by the fluidly chaining attacks and the decently spammed AoEs (plus the eventual -res procs, etc).
Hey guys...I finally hit 50 on my Kat/WP. I've attempted using some of the advice that you guys gave me about IO sets as I can finally afford some! After 6 slotting some of my attacks with Makos and Crushing Impacts, I just don't feel that I'm doing as much damage as I'd like to be doing. I was hoping you guys could give some suggestions on Frankenslotting so I can max out my damage and accuracy. I don't have a ton of inf...sitting around 30 million at the moment. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
