A couple things pop out at me at a quick glance. 4 points of knockback protection seems too low to me, I tended to feel better when I had 12 points, or at least 8 on my dm/da. Perhaps another steadfast in obsidian shield and a botz in fly? I'd also take the third end mod in Stamina and replace it with a Performance Shifter proc. I'm not sure what Stealth really does for you. You have cloak of darkness. Maneuvers might be a more useful final pick.
In general I'm not a huge fan of playing strictly for s/l defenses. But that's a playstyle thing...I suspect there's more, but I'm hungry and dinner beckons.

Your Siphon Life slotting is ok, but I would actually remove the heal from it. Slot Siphon Life as an attack only. I would not use a Nucleolus in Siphon Life or any of your single target attacks. I prefer to grab a level 50 Acc/Dam/Rechg from any attack set (I usually get Crushing Impacts.) While other Secondaries depend more on the heal aspect of Siphon Life, DM/DA is better served by frequent use of Siphon Life in your attack chain. The heal will supplement your survivability while you are waiting for Dark Regeneration to become available. | 1. Is the slotting in Siphon Soul adequate? Should it have more healing? |

Unless this is your most beloved character or you are really rolling in influence, I don't recommend going this route. Even if you chose to attain this, it should only be after you've substantially improve your current defense values.

| Would like to know what you all think,would change,adjust and specificly: |
I would strongly recommend you switch from Oppressive Gloom to Cloak of Fear. Yes, CoF has it's negatives, but with the amount you've invested into this build, they can easily be overcome, making CoF superior to OG at higher levels.
You've invested 6 slots into Weave but ignored the superior Cloak of Darkness. CoD has the same defense values as Weave, but adds +perception and stealth. These two powers should be slotted equally. Neither power has substantial base defense, so slot investments should be kept minimal.
You've invested 4 Purple sets into your build, which I strongly recommend to anyone who can afford to. I disagree with two of the sets you've chosen as they do little for your damage output. You could get the same benefits with more damage if you took Dark blast, and 5 slotted it with Apocalypse and then switched out Gravitational Anchor for Ragnarok. (actually, optimal would be to switch to Blaze Mastery and slot Fire Blast and Fire Ball in the same fashion).
I strongly disagree with your Dark Regeneration slotting. You have no accuracy which be extremely frustrating at higher levels. At low levels, you can take your chances and miss 7 but still fill you up your HP bar by hitting 3 mobs. I've jumped into a spawn hit DR and died shortly after. Review of my combat logs showed "Dark Regeneration Misses" 15 times. Healing is the least of your concerns with DR. You need Acc, rchg, and Endurance. My DM/DA uses 56% Accuracy, 92% Endurance, 78% recharge, and 57% heal.
