Gravity/Kinetics Controller - Concept Toon Help?

This is something I quickly put together with the idea of total lockdown in mind.
It has a little recharge, a little defence and powers proc'd to increase holds and immobilises without slotting for any damage. Singie is slotted for accuracy, hold and immob only. And I chose the epic where you can boost your hold durations and defences for a short time (Power Boost) as well as not choosing any attack powers.
Wasn't sure re: your choice of travel power so went with Hover/Fly because of the whole gravity thing.
I did put in Dimensional Shift because it is (in my mind) a perfect power for a pacificist. The foes can't attack you and your allies can't attack them. In game it is, at best, a bit of panic button for an unexpected team wipe or ambush

And yeah, I have Hover/Fly as well as the Primal Forces Mastery epic power pool. I love Power Boost. For just a few seconds...I'm a Dominator. 
I'm not sure I even considered the Leadership pool for her, but now that I see it I think it could definitely work...it goes with her overall vibe of helping the team kick butt, rather than kicking any herself, really well! And it does make sense to use Dimensional Shift as a panic button, though I'm still not entirely sure I'll take it permanently.
Thanks a bunch, I'll try this and let you know how it works out! 
City of Heroes taught me that when the world is burning, you don't just stand by and watch, you grab a fire extinguisher and do whatever you can to stop it-even if it's not much at all. Sign the petition to keep City of Heroes alive HERE.

The purple proc in Crushing Field is gold as well, as Tired has in that build.
It's around 50-60 million to get but well worth it. I earned it on my Plant/Emp by selling the proceeds of one a-merit roll (got a Resist Set IO which was worth 120 million apparently, it was either the Aegis or Reactive Resist IO).
Bearing in mind that someone, somewhere, is going to read this post and tell me I'm a complete idiot for doing this in the first place:
I have a Gravity/Kinetics controller who I roleplay. I am particularly building her to do as little damage as possible.
Yes, you read that right: I don't want her to do much damage AT ALL.
She's a pacifist (and I don't run missions or anything else on her very often, if ever, and I never, ever solo) and her basic mode of fighting (when I do, rarely, run missions on her) is to lock something down as hard as she can and let the rest of the team beat the crap out of it. She doesn't have Lift or Propel because a.) I can't see her slamming anyone into the floor, and b.) I can only envision her throwing fluffy pillows and stuffed animals and other squishy, cuddly things...
I also don't have Dimensional Shift because I'm not actually sure how to use it or in what situation it'd be useful.
Here's my dilemma: I want to work out a build for her following the absolute lockdown, no extra damage limit, and I want to do it as inexpensively as possible. I had a build on her using purples, but it really seems like a waste to spend a ton of money on a build for a toon I don't play very often. I don't want to slot her with SOs or common IOs, because, well, I don't do that on any of my other toons and I would feel bad if I did it to her. I'm soft like that.
So, if anyone wants to work up something like this for fun, and to see if it can be done at all, please, be my guest. I'm really interested to see what you guys can come up with, 'cause I've just about given up on it.
