Okay. Well, here's my build. It has 39.7% S/L defense, 36.6% melee, so not quite softcapped to anything, but can get a lot out of small purple inspitations. Also 46.3% global recharge bonuses on top of Hasten and Lightning Reflexes, so not quite perma-Energize but almost. Better than 33% uptime on Build Up and able to spam those AoE attacks very quickly.|

Thanks for the reply Chaos. Nice to see you managed this without any purples in your build. I noticed you had only one recharge reduction in powersink. How often do you find you even need to use this? I imagine energize+Phys perfection really helps out quite a bit especially since you said you weren't too far from having energize perma. Also I didn't realize that Rectified Reticle gave an extra 1.88% to smashing/lethal which is nice considering how cheap they are. Anyway I appreciate the info...thanks again.

Actually it's funny about Energize and Power Sink. If I'm really struggling to survive and I need to use Energize as often as it recharges, then I barely ever touch Power Sink at all. But if I'm fighting stuff like Battle Maiden warriors, and hardly ever need Energize, then I find myself reaching for Power Sink more often. If I go long enough without touching Energize, then I'll sometimes start using it just for endredux, but more often I like to save the heal/regen for when it may be needed. Just having a base slot in Power Sink lets me hold Energize in reserve as a healing power.|

Though in retrospect I think I should've slotted it with an Endmod/Rech IO, rather than a straight recharge. I don't need it remotely as often as it comes up, but once in a while I find myself wanting to use it and there's only a couple guys left around me. I think Endmod/Rech would be a better slotting for the power and I've made a note to change it next time I play the toon.
At various times in the past I've built characters to use sapping as mitigation; I always found it very fiddly and unreliable, so I didn't choose to upslot Power Sink for this purpose, but instead went the route of S/L/melee defense and near-perma Energize. That covers my survivability admirably (I generally run missions at +2x8) and all I need Power Sink to do is top off my endurance every so often--less often if I need Energize a lot and more often if I need Energize less.
