WS - Human/Dwarf Build
Okay, here's what I see after a quick once-over. Overall this is a moderately expensive high-end Human/Dwarf Warshade build with an eye towards +recharge probably for perma-Eclipse. For the most part I think the power selection and slotting works, but there are a few areas I'd call attention towards.
1) Gravitic Emanation. This is the big one. Every other point in this post is more a matter of playstyle/opinion, but I disagree with slotting this power as an attack. The damage is very minimal - you should think of this as a control power and slot it as a stun, not a cone attack. You can get the same +recharge with Stupefy as with Positron's Blast and I think you'll be happier with this slotted as a stun.
2) Black Dwarf. As it stands now, you have good slotting if your intent is to use Black Dwarf for scrapping or for short-term turtling. If you intend to play backup tank for a team, you may have some difficulty, and without more slotting in Antagonize you may have trouble holding aggro. If holding aggro/playing tank holds little interest for you, then you may disregard this bit.
3) No Quasar. Again this is a playstyle choice and not necessarily a problem. but since with Stygian Circle you can instantly recover your endurance to full with sufficient nearby bodies, this is basically a free nuke. Some people don't like nuke powers on principle and if this is you, then that's all that needs to be said. But it's something I'd at least consider working in. If this were my build, I'd probably drop Super Speed for Quasar (with build shuffling, of course, obviously you can't take Quasar at 14). You could slot a +Stealth IO in Sprint to combine with Shadow Cloak for full invis when Invisibility is unavailable on exemplar (if you intend to exemplar at all). Once again, just a suggestion - it's not clear to me what your reasons were but if you're attached to SS or to the Winter's Gift IO, those are reasonable selections too.
4) Expensive build. This isn't the most expensive I've seen, but it will cost you. Several of your powers are underslotted for accuracy, relying on the bonuses from the IOs (especially the purples in OD) to make up the difference. If you can afford to purchase this build outright, there's no problem, but if you are filling it in as you can afford it then you may have significant issues with missing in the build-in-progress. If you are going to need to save up for this, you might consider an alternative build to play until you're ready to make the respec over to the final, expensive version.
It should also be mentioned, just to make sure you're aware, that passive powers (Health, Stamina) do not work in Black Dwarf.

1. Thx.... will do that.
2. Going to use Dwarf to scapper/turtling as you mentions... good catch.
3. Not a big fan of nukes on non-blasters, and wasn't impressed by a 5 slotted Quasar damage when you included the endurance crash.
4. This is the second build on this toon, the first being more a traditional tri-form I use in certain task forces (use to farm Positron with her). Expense-wise, I can afford this build with more then a few of these sets already in storage (been ticket farming lately).
And yes, aware of the limits of Health/Stamina when not in human form but thanks for reminding me. Need to see about finding a few more slots for the Dwarf's heal if I'm forced into it due to grabbing too much hate.
As for Winter's Gift IO.... I happen to have like ten of those due to c/c farming.

I need someone to double check this build before I spend the cash/merits. Any advise is weclome!
Thanks....
