The build you posted looks a lot more human-centric than triform.

(If you prefer a human build with just a little triform flare, disregard my advice below).
If I was going to keep your build generally the same but make it more triform oriented, here is what I would do:

Level 20: Black Dwarf Step -- EndRdx-I(A)
Level 20: Black Dwarf Antagonize -- Zinger-Dam%(A)

The whole fitness pool is pretty lackluster on a triform, so I replaced it with LotG mules. Dwarf was woefully underslotted, while iffy powers like dark detonation were putting you over the set bonus cap in some cases. Stygian Circle gives most of your health back from just one enemy unslotted, so slotting it with a heal set is not very helpful; however, it does not do the same endurance-wise, so in the interest of saving slots I did the most economical thing with the base slot. Dark Nova Blast needed some love too.
