If you were trying to softcap all your positional defense, you've made the same mistake I did. You need to edit your Mids' database so that Phalanx Fighting shows when there is no one in range. At the top, click Options>Advanced>Database Editor and then click Main Database Editor, find Phalanx Fighting, click edit and set the first Scale Range box to 0.
If you do this, you'll find your actually 3.3% away from melee and 1.7% away from ranged softcap. You could finish your GSFC set to softcap ranged and you'd almost be there with melee too. This is just a suggestion from a bit of a newb, but I hope I've helped.
With Phalanx Fighting set at zero allies, you're a little below the soft cap for Melee and Ranged. I'd recommend another set of Mako's in Jab or KOB, and using two Blessing of the Zephyr (not the -KB one) in Super Speed.
If you want a little more cushion, just one more slot of Gaussian's will give you an additional 2.5% defense to all positions.
EDIT: I also don't see much benefit from six-slotting LotG in Deflection. I think you'd be better off replacing two of those slots with ResDam IOs.
EDIT2: Urrgh, mixed up my sets. What I *meant* to say is that you should put a set of Touch of Death in either Jab or KoB for the Melee defense bonus. With the ToD, BotZ and a full set of Gaussian's you'd have 47.6% Melee, 48.9 Ranged, and 48.6 AoE defense; a little more than you need to soft-cap.
