Dual Blades/Willpower Redux

OK, so after the fury changes to Brutes I'm trying to revamp my DB/WP Brute to accommodate for my lessened damage with my existing build. I was running both the Sweep and Attack Vitals Combo. My common attack chain was Blinding Feint -> Attack Vitals -> Power Slice. My fury gauge is plateaued at 70. Being that I'm doing less damage now, my idea is to forgo the Sweep Combo, using Empower -> Attack Vitals.

I have two concerns. 1) Do I have enough recharge to run this attack chain, in order to get Ablating Strike up in time to start the Attack Vitals Combo after Empower, or do I have to bridge the two combos in between with something? 2) Do I have enough defense to make an impact on incoming damage, supporting my resistance and regeneration (65.2 HP/sec). S/L 27%, E/N 32.5%, Psi 26.5%, Fire/Cold 30%. I also want to make something else clear I cannot afford Kinetic Combat IO's. I just can't and I don't want to sacrifice recharge.
