My bad on making the forum post like 8 miles long....The only issue I can think of right now is the survivability

As to the actual build (from what I can read of it), you're doing a lot of stuff wrong. You're short slotting the recharge on MoG and IH for defense and healing, respectively, when those are the attributes that contribute very little to your actual survival (defense because MoG is already giving you redundant defense without any slotting and IH because only 200% of the baseline 800% +regen is actually enhanceable). You completely shattered the "rule of 5" for the 5% +recharge set bonus with your 10 copies of it (re: the last 5 of those set bonuses don't do anything). You're also stupidly breaking the rule on the 1.12% +hp and 10% +regen set bonuses.
You haven't even got the recharge to run MG>Smite>Siphon>Smite chain. MG, which requires 235% +rech (re: 4.488 second recharge) for that string to run seamless, is nearly a full second off. Unless you plan on actually investing in the expensive purple sets that are actually going to allow you to run that attack string (Hecatomb for MG at the very least), you're not going to have the recharge for it.
As to your build, don't break the rule of 5. Having that many Crushing Impacts, Obliterations, and Doctored Wounds sets is pointless beyond mentioning. The primary benefit of Doctored Wounds and Crushing Impact is the 5% +recharge set bonus and you've rendered most of them entirely pointless by having so many of them. Switch back so that you've only got 5 of those set bonuses.
Stick with the 3 slot slotting for QR and Stamina (it'll open up better slotting options everywhere else and get you more end/sec recovery). If you don't know what it is: Perf Shifter proc, Perf Shifter End Mod, level 50 common End Mod.
Don't use Crushing Impacts in your attacks. Use 6 piece Touch of Death. The +def(melee) is incredible and it'll give you enhancement attributes that are just as good.
Health and Fast Healing shouldn't get loads of slotting. Their actual contribution to your survivable is minimal at best. Don't give them Doctored Wounds at all. Just give them either a heal set proc or a level 50 common heal IO.
Instant Healing needs more slot loving than Integration does. Integration doesn't cost much endurance as is on at all times. It only needs heal enhancing. Instant Healing on the other hand needs recharge more than anything else. Additional +heal slotting just makes it nicer. Switch your slotting of the two powers, switching the Heal/End for the Recharge when you give the Doctored Wounds to Instant Healing.
The 3 piece LotG set bonus is largely redundant unless you plan on doing everything without the 4 passive accolades (which you plan on getting, right?). Because you've got perma-DP, all that +hp is eaten by the hp cap. It's only effective when DP is down and, I assure you, if you're using DP correctly, is barely any time at all.
As to power selection, if you're going budget, don't try for MG>Smite>Siphon>Smite: you can't afford it. Take Shadow Punch and accept that you'll have to use MG>Smite>Shadow>Siphon>Smite>Shadow. It's worse on the damage by a little but it's actually attainable with a budget build.
This build will work much better for you. It's pretty much the same cost for substantially better damage, survivability, and overall playability. It uses the attack string I mentioned, is endurance sustainable with everything running, and has excellent melee defense so that AVs will be dealing substantially less damage.

Ah I see, I was under the impression that the rule of 5 referred to the set, not the actual bonus. Well then, this build certainly sucks if you are correct on that

If you want to check to see whether any specific build breaks the rule of 5, go into Mids and hit "Ctrl + B" (or, for the mouse inclined, Window>Sets and Bonuses). It'll give you a list of your totaled set bonuses and a separate list of each of the sets you've got along with a warning next to any set bonus that breaks the rule of 5.

I wanted to do something a bit different than DM/shield and sword/regen so i decided to combine them and make a DM/regen AV build. I went primarily with maxing recharge so that I could have the smite-siphon life-smite-midnight grasp attack chain. With the current IOs, assuming no breaks in the chain, this chain should have a DPS of about 210 dmg (not including the resistance of the AVs) Also, I am on a bit of a budget so I focused on using mostly cheap IOs. Aside from the LoTGs and steadfast protection, the recipes are all pretty cheap. Would you mind double checking my math and giving me a couple suggestions as to how i can improve the build (remember I want cheap IOs).
