Triformer Noob Build Help!

Hi All,
Long time lurker, first time Kheld forum poster (I think, at least). Anyway, I'm leveling up my tri-form PB and to be honest, I'm not sure what I'm going for here. I like to play changing forms often, but I'm not entirely sure what kind of set bonuses or frankenslots would be beneficial for that style of play.

Below is my planned build. I shot for a bit of recharge and global damage, and beyond that, no real logic I guess other than 5-slotting (for the most part) my form attacks. Anyway, I'd like to see if you folks might have any constructive criticism.

Difficulty: No purples, LOTG... for now.

Assume inherent stamina one-slotted.

Wow! You should be a monster in Nova or Dwarf with that build. You would probably be better off putting a Freebird +Stealth into Energy Flight and then a Karma KB protetion into Combat Flight. In any case the plus stealth you get from the Freebird IO pretty much means you don't need to take Stealth or Quantum Flight unless you employ a strategy that demands them a lot. Pulsar would be a great addition if you decide to drop either of those powers or CJ, which taken at level 47 isn't exactly gonna be a game changer for you.

Impervius Skin: Status Resistances in each of your optional shield powers are also nice to have when in Human Form as they can stack to significantly reduce the amount of time you spend mezzed.

Were you planning to PvP? Cause with PVE the most KB protection IOs you need is probably two (-8) and that might actually be overkill most of the time. Procs are also nice to have in your weaker/faster recharging attacks including the ones from the forms (I'd put one in BN Bolt before BN Detonation the way you have). You can even put a proc into your Dwarf taunt to make it an attack that can do some damage.
