It's pretty tough to soft-cap without tough for the steadfast +def IO. 
If you don't mind the lower recharge bonus, below is your build re-slotted to soft-cap the defenses.

I think you can softcap all cheaper by doing the following:
Remove 2 slots from PB, with your added recharge, PB is comfortably perma on 1 IO.
Remove one slot from your melee or ranged defence toggle, and slot 5 serendipities instead of the red fortunes (leave out the end/rech). Put 2 more slots into stamina and complete the Pshifter set, and one into stone mallet, and slot that with mako's bite instead of kinetic combat.
It's true. This game is NOT rocket surgery. - BillZBubba
Hello, Brute Forums! I was hoping to get some help on a build that I'm working on, and thought I'd come to you guys for help. I'm trying to get this build to soft-cap as many of the positional defense types as I can, probably with a little bit of overage so that I have some leeway in the levels of enhancements I use so that I can exemplar down a bit and still have enough Defense to cover my behind.
I would like to keep all of the powers that I have here, if possible. I'm also aware that I took Fault probably waaaaaaayyy too late in this build.
