Do you actually think you're gonna fork over the money/merits for those purple and PVP sets? If not, leave them out of the build and plan for less expensive sets.
You seem to be going for a mix of resistance and defense set bonuses. Conventional wisdom around here is that resistance bonuses are never worth it. Defense bonuses generally are. but for a build like this, I think recharge and max HP should be your focus.
Recharge because both your primary and secondary sets are dependant on it: Burn and healing flames from Fiery Aura, and the entire KM set is based around pumping out attacks as fast as possible.
I don't mind spending the money or merits for purples. Do you have a build I can look at of focusing on hp and recharge?
Here's an attempt by me. I don't have any direct experience with resistance-based sets, so it'd be great if some /FA brute would come in and show me up on this.
I also didn't go for purples. You could probably push this thing closer to perma-hasten with more recharge from expensive sets.

I'll like to know your thoughts on the build.
