Build: Katana/Super Reflexes
What are your goals and budget? Kat/SR can get beastly with a nice investment.
Have you thought about going for the top attack chain? for more damage bonuses? for better procs?
Here's my Kat/SR build that focuses on pumping a ton of DPS and keeping its defenses up, and relies on Rebirth for self healing.

Here's your build with minimal change. Swapped (or used vs generics) some sets but left all power choices and slotting alone. With Stealth active (but suppressed from attacking) should be at or over the soft cap without DA usage. There is a lot I would do different personally, but this should meet your goals.

Thanks for the advice.
Just wondering if there's anything more I can do to buff this Kat/SR. The big weakness is its 34.5% Melee Def if Divine Avalanche misses (as the opener - though, of course, I'd immediately pop a purple in that situation), but I can't see much of a way to correct that for solo play without sacrificing my Ranged & AoE Defs. Don't want to do without Stealth or Hasten or Assault, so dumping those (or the epics, chosen mainly for not really needing many slots) and Kick/Boxing & Tough & Weave isn't really an option.

Any other suggestions? Defs are currently Melee 32.5% (49.5 after DA), Ranged 45.7%, AoE 47.6%. Actually, slightly less 'cos they'll be level 30-32 sets (common IOs will be mostly level 35s) when I can swing it, for exemplaring purposes. Unfortunately, I can't seem to make Mids set the sets to my preferred level and keep the commons displaying properly, so can't get very accurate. :/ And, of course, the listed slot levels on the IOs are meaningless.
Thanks in advance.
