Your build seems to be more focused on damage than tanking on teams in Granite form. While in Granite form, your F/C/E/N defenses are horrible compared to what they should be. Even without Granite, you aren't set up very well.. You hit the S/L soft cap but fall short on E/N with only 28.6%. I strongly reccomend making two builds. One can be for doing DPS and staying out of Granite. The other can be for tanking on teams. Look at my other post on a Stone Armor build recently if you want to see some example builds for Granite tanking.

I don't feel like putting that much effort into it, I was more looking for something where I could reuse a number of existing IOs and have granite be an optional power. My existing build only has granite and it's all but untouchable as-is, except for when I need to be more mobile.
I put the build together in Mids this morning to hopefully get more feedback than "it sucks, brah". I'll probably wind up mothballing it again or strip and delete at some point.
Unfortunately, making granite optional still requires you to wear your rock boots for the mez protection, which has an even greater movement penalty than just granite. Also, in terms of survivability, Stone Armor is actually pretty sad without granite.
I haven't really touched my Stone/Stone tank much since Physical Perfection was added, so I'm looking to redo it for inherent fitness. I'm taking the Cardiac path to help with the blue bar. I'm looking to have granite as an optional power, so here's my idea in Mids form:
