Question...do you want Sweep Combo because of the knockdown?
I ask, because I find I do okay with just Attack Vitals and Typhoon's Edge (which I really only take because I love the animation) with of course BF.
Dark Regeneration should be 6 slotted, and get the Touch of Nictus +END Proc in it.
I'd ditch 2 of the slots from Cloack of Darkness and Weave and replace them with LotG: Def/End, Def/End/Rch, Def, Def/+7.5% RCH
Then you could slot Kick 3 slots for Kinetic Combat (more S/L Defense) and have a slot left over. Plus have additional RCH.
However, if I was to take your build as a template (leaving out purples because you didn't slot any)...

Thanks BrandX 
looks good, I can tell it has a lot of end usage, I guess there is not much around that. Not sure why I slotted Muti-Strike in dark regen..I guess I wasn't thinking there.
I was wanting Sweep for the knockdown in the event I get overwhelmed, but Like I mentioned before I don't know much about Dual Blades so I am not sure which combos are the best to take and which aren't so I was hoping someone would fill me in.

I'm working on one of this myself. Never really got any kind of DB/ or /DA to high levels and hoping I could take this one to 50 (level 8 so far).
Anyways here's the build I'm messing around with for comparison. I still don't like a lot of things on it. Recharge and endurance could use a little more boost. I still can't run BF->AV like I want.

NP. I'm not to sure I would of went that route on a DB/DA, but I usually just go for BF->Attack Vitals, and try to pick up Typhoon's Edge (I just don't care for 1k Cuts animation).|

You could replace CoF with Oppressive Gloom and six slot the Razzle Dazzle set. The only reason I replaced OG with CoF was because of the bigger S/L Set bonuses and to stack -tohit with the defense.

Hey guys,
I have never played a Dual Blades toon before. I have played Dark Aura in the past but never stuck it out past lvl 40ish with various toons. I wanted to pair these two up as I believe I have a good concept for one.
But then it hit me, that I have no idea which combos are good for DB. I know I want Sweep but thats about it lol.
In any event I tend to build for defense and damage. This build has 35% defense to S/L/E/N and Range as well as 31 to Melee.
I am looking to get the most out of this build so some advice would be great.
Thanks in advance
How is this build?
