Umm, yeah, this build definitely needs some work.
Active Defense is your status protection and needs to be taken *much* earlier. Take it at 10, move Taunt to 22 and Phalanx Fighting to 32. You'll also need another recharge slot to make AD perma.
I'd also suggest finding room for Shatter, if possible, it's part of the reason that WM is such a good AoE set. It's also WM's most damaging power other than Clobber.
You have several expensive specialty IOs slotted that are a waste of influence, IMO. AD has KB protection, so the Steadfast KB protection is uneeded. Likewise, the Aegis and Imperv Skin status resist IOs are unneeded, as is the Imperv Armor Psi resist.
Deflection should be slotted with resistance as well as defense; drop 2 or 3 of the RF (End and End/Rchg) and put in some resistance IOs. To make up for the lost Ranged defense, find another slot for SJ (the Scirocco's sets would be fine with 5) and 2-slot BoTZ.
IMO, True Grit should be slotted 1/2 heal and 1/2 resist; plain IOs would do more for you than the hodgepodge you have in there now. Definitely move the Regen Tissue to either Health or PP, it's doing little for you where it is.
Health is underslotted, very suprising considering it has 5 slots! I think you mistakenly put in the End/Rchg IO rather than the Heal IO.
Instead of the three Steadfast, I'd slot Tough with the SP +def and 2 plain resist IOs or add another slot for a set Resist/End Red IO.
Rather than 6-slot Battle Agility with RF, I think you should strongly consider moving two of those slots to Build Up, find another slot from somewhere, (CP is a good candidate) and 6-slot BU with Gaussian's for a 2.5 % def bonus to all positions.
Hope that helps!
