Well, I'm not sure how you are planning to solo AVs when your highest defense is 27% to Fire/Cold......
I know that there have been many people who have solo'd AVs on their Willpower toons, but you need to keep in mind that most AV soloers (Read: 99%) use defense-based toons, or build enough defense into their toons to survive an AV's attacks. Yes, your Regen will be helpful, but fighting an AV is like taking a constant Alpha Strike, which is not Willpowers forté.
If you want any chance of taking on an AV, build for the softcap, preferably to S/L. I say this because you are going to have a tough time building for Melee, Ranged, and AoE when WP starts with nothing. Although you won't be able to solo all AVs, softcap'd S/L will allow you to at least solo easier ones like Battle Maiden.
Also, to the build that you posted. It's not that bad for an End-Game, general play build, although you seem to just be throwing inf at it (while not optimizing the build.) I do question why you would put Dark Watcher's into RTTC, though. The -toHit is not worth slotting for.

Oh god I'm not good with IOs how did I get here? In all honesty I never took the time to really grasp the invention system fully and hoped that throwing money at it would just work out. I hope this set is a bit more workable

You can get more bang for your buck on bonus hit points using a Heal/Recharge and still make the set bonus you're going for.
Also - instead of putting extra slots in Brawl, maybe use them on some of the defense/resist powers and get some more defensive bang for your buck from both the individual IOs and from the set bonuses.
Whoops that was just clicking the wrong Numina's by mistake, I'm not that dumb.
I've been running this build for a little bit and was wondering if there was any way that I could improve it. The aim is to be able to solo pretty much any AV.
