Well, for one thing, it makes absolutely no sense to slot the resistance passives to the ED cut-off and underslot TI, UY, and Tough, which have much higher base resistance values. The very first thing I'd do to improve your build is to pull the RA sets from the resist passives and put them in the toggles. And instead of Imperv Armor, I'd suggest 3-slotting Aegis in the toggles for the F/C defense.
Other changes I'd recommend:
Drop Manuevers for CJ. It has slightly more defense than Manuevers, at a fraction of the endurance cost. And with CJ, you won't have to Hover all the time to get a defense boost.
Drop Chop for Cleave, it's the most damaging attack in the set, and a cone, though a narrow one. It also has a much greater chance for KD, which will be useful damage mitigation on the ITF.
Your low level attacks are underslotted, I'd make sure they all have at least 5 slots. The KC set in particular needs accuracy and damage. And if you need a little more S/L def, slot 4 Smashing Haymker in Beheader.
Hover is overslotted, I'd get rid of the Def/End and move the slot somewhere else. Health is also overslotted, you could easily drop one, if not two of the Heal commons.
How are you planning to slot Build Up? I'd recommend either 6 Gaussian's, or if you need slots elsewhere, 2 Rectified Reticle and one or two Recharge commons.
Pendulum is underslotted, it needs at least 5 slots. I'd recommend slotting Pendulum, Whirling Axe, and Cleave if you take it with 3-4 slots of Eradication and 2 of Scirocco's Dervish--the Dam/End and Acc/Dam End. That will significantly boost your E/NE defense.
Hope that helps!

I think some of these will be understandable in context, but just in case, here are a few translations:
S/L=Smashing/Lethal
E/NE=Energy/Negative Energy
F/C=Fire/Cold
ED=Enhancement Diversification (the reason why there's no point in slotting more than the equivalent of 3 SOs worth of a single attribute in a power. Check Paragon Wiki for more information.)
TI=Temp Invulnerability
UY=Unyielding
RA=Reactive Armor
CJ=Combat Jumping
KD=Knockdown
KC=Kinetic Combat

well I feel REALLY stupid now, some how I made a build using my EM/invul set up, I am totally unsure how I did this..
SO I guess I should change this to the right toon then ask for help, I have to totally redo my axe/invul now.. I feel really stupid..
But I saw in your SIG you have a EM/Invul too, so please help, I just finished building mine and he is not as tough as I thought he should be, can barely take on 54 rikti in the RWZ in a small group of 10.. very unhappy
I will also say not every single IO is correct, but mostly, cause I could not find them on WW

Hmm, nearly all of the advice I gave for your Invul/Axe applies to the Invul/EM too.
In addition to the suggestions in that post, for your /EM I'd strongly suggest that you pick up Energy Transfer, dropping Energy Punch or Bone Smasher if necessary.
Also, instead of the purple set in Whirling Hands, I suggest the Eradication + Scirocco's Dervish combo I mentioned in the earlier post. That will get you closer to the soft-cap for E/NE.
By the way, if I"m reading your post correctly, taking on 10 +4 Rikti solo is not a trivial challenge, especially if the group included some of the Rikti that do Psi damage. Your resistance to Psi is non-existent and your defense is around 20%, so fighting +4 Psi-damaging foes is going to *hurt*, and that's not something you can fix very easily.
