But yes, your DPS will suffer when you get aggro on the incarnate trials, because you're going to be using Divine Avalanche (and clicking other things instead of attacks).
I find that DP and IH running are usually more than enough to survive most things backed with the other clicks with out using DA. If you can run the top chain, DPS should not be of an issue. So I try to slot up IH as much as possible.... I use it often...

I've paired my Invulnerability builds with the Rebirth Destiny that gives Regeneration - that way my Invulns have capped HP, Regeneration, 45% (and up) S/L/F/C/E/N Defense, and 73.1% S/L Resist (1.9% below the hardcap). Layered damage mitigation for the win!

This is the tentative build I've got for my Claws/Invulnerability Scrapper while I'm leveling her up:
That build is impressive. And painfully expensive.
