Your build seems to be a mishmosh of set bonuses. I would suggest reading the shields guide. It will teach you the basics of what you need to learn in order to achieve a higher level of survivability.
Once you've done that, look into getting more defensive set bonuses so you can raise your positional defense percentages to 45%. That is the magical number at which your survivability is at its highest.

Dark/Shield Build Thread
Okay so I took your advice and read the BS/SD guide, to better understand the power sets. After this I whipped up a lil different build. I think it is more up the BS/SD alley. However the ranged def is only at 36% with out phalanx fighting... I guess it sitll needs some work, however tell me what you think of this build.
I just noticed the flaw in my bonus caps on regen... I wish mids would show you that. ack... umm back to the drawling board...
okay finnaly lets see this build back from the drawling board.

Mid's will show you if you're capped to a certain set bonus. Just click the 'Viuew Active Sets' button and anything is red is over the cap.
So I am loving this BS/SD. I know that every one who has ever owned this game probally has one, however still need tweaks to a build I whipped up. I tryed going fairly cheap. I am not sure on what direction I am going to take. this build doesn't have build-up, that needs to change, Also 1WtS, not sure if I should pick it up or not. Hearing about it when the set first came out, people say grant cover is the only skippable... I guess this build would try to maximize regen, rocovery, slight defense, and hitpoint max (more hp more regen). Tell me what you think, and if it tickles your fancy create a better build if you can.
