Seeking critique/thoughts on my Traps/DP Mid's build
I suggest this. If it were me though, I'd drop one of the travel powers and trip mine in order to get one of the armors from an ancillary pool.

The big difference I noticed in your suggested modifications is an extra +20% reccharge, defense stayed about the same, a little more, and damage bonus only took a soso hit. There was one thing I was wondering about though. Why remove the procs from caltrops? Do you suppose you'd get higher dps out of it by just slotting rech/dam? I especially liked the knockdown proc for a little extra control.
I would also note that I am synergizing this build with a friend that I play with regularly. So we figured between our two FFG's, were not gonna need resistance.

Also, I think I forgot to put knockback protection in the build I posted. You should try to put a karma knockback protection in force field generator.

Softcap doesn't mean the Random Number Generator can't hate you.
BrandX Future Staff Fighter
The BrandX Collection
^ Exactly. If you're playing 2 Traps Defs together (assuming identical builds), I'd say you have too much Defense in the build. Once you softcap, you're softcapped, adding more doesn't do much good (though having a little extra to deal with defense debuffs isn't a bad idea). I'm doing something similar with a Traps/DP and a Traps/AR, we're going with FFG, Maneuvers, both slotted up well and left it at that. Set bonuses are focused on Recharge, Recovery and Damage.
Even softcapped, you're going to get hit about 5% of the time, so some resistance will go a long way toward giving you some breathing room to hit an inspiration if that Nemesis spawn hits Vengeance or the random number generator suddenly decides it hates you right when you've gotten the attention of that boss.
Question: Does putting Karma KB into FFG give full protection since you're only firing it every 4 min? I thought it was only 2 min from when the power fired last. I was planning to drop it in Maneuvers, just to be sure.

You are getting them confused with Proc120s (like numina's and the kismet special IO) which require you to use the power every 2minutes in order to get the benefit (but conversely don't care about the level of the IO itself.
Excellent. I'm used to putting them in Shadowfall, which I never turn off.
I admit I had to think about it for a minute. "This'll work in FFG right? ....Yeah. Yeah it will."
