not looking at your build, but the generic chain is:
DA-GD-GC-SD-GC
If you have enough recharge, you can skip DA and run:
GD-GC-SD-GC

You want this:
Divine Avalanche -> Gambler's Cut -> Golden Dragonfly -> Gambler's Cut -> Soaring Dragon -> Gambler's CutI just need to make sure you have the recharge... yes, just, which makes me think that Iggy tuned it for that chain.
The extra Gambler's Cut over Elegost's suggestion is both because you don't have the recharge for his chain, and also because you have an Achilles' Heel in Gambler's Cut, so you want to use it as often as possible, at least against hard targets.

Also because that's probably what I meant, I'm just one quarter retarded
/fail
~ Also, you want that proc to fire before GD and SD, so it's pretty much always better to fire GC first

Yeah no wonder the slotting looked familiar 
The build looks out of date though, maybe back before they fixed the +reg unique and the BotZ. Haven't really messed around with mine for i19
If this is really from one of my older build...
Then you gonna want to run....

Gambler's Cut and not Sting of the Wasp? Why is that? I am leveling a Katana/Dark right now and find Gambler's Cut sort of meh.

Hi, my name is Northman, and I am an Altoholic. No wait, I'm Lost Nova, no wait, Arc Havoc, no, Dragon Moon, no, Lord Fury......
Gamblers cut is a very fast attack, having the lowest activation time in all of katana, plus it hits pretty hard.
take for example, comparing it to Golden Dragonfly, or Soaring Dragon, and sting of the wasp:
Sting of the Wasp:79.83 damage, 1.32 activation 60.47DPA
Gamblers cut:57.81 damage, .924 activation time (after arcanatime) for a total of 62.56DPA <--higher DPA then the damage it does, so spamming it more will increase your DPS
Golden Dragonfly:164.04 damage, 1.98 activation time 82.84DPA
Soaring Dragon: 123.87 damage, 1.584 activation time 78.02DPA
Gambler's Cut is also a great way to get a whole lot of Achilles' Heel debuffs into your chain without burning a lot of slots. It is also in some cases a way to get a lot of purple damage procs into your chain, but not in the posted build.

I have this build which I picked up a while back and finally decided to finish but I forgot the chain that is used for it. I know it includes a lot of divine avalanche for the defense buff but I can't remember the other attacks. If anyone could help I would be much appreciative.
