I would suggest creating a build for typed defense, smashing, lethal, energy, etc... That is what benefits will power the most.

Dark/Shield Build Thread
When you post a request for help with a build, please try to post goals for your build or character so we can steer you in the direction you want. Some people want to be soft-capped on their Scrappers. Others just want to do as much damage as possible. Your budget can also have an impact on what you use and what goals are actually attainable.
on a willpower you want to build for typed defenses, and hp, while squeezing some extra regen in there if you can (but don't make it a priority). WP starts with a gaping s/l defense hole that needs a lot of help filling. make sure you get 5 kinetic combat sets in there to close the distance.
Don't worry about getting to soft-cap everything. 32-32.5 f/c/e/n should definitely be enough. If you can get to 45% s/l, however, that's golden.
If you want a clicky to help mitigation, you can pick up shadow meld from soul mastery. This is a *very* useful tool for toons like this. The tradeoff is basically... do you want another AoE (ball lightning)? or do you want more mitigation?
WP doesn't benefit from recharge at all, but there are 2 main methods for playing kin melee. Either the recharge heavier route (taking QS, skipping FB) or the light recharge route (the opposite, skipping QS, taking FB). Your attacks will feel much faster if you do the higher recharge route, but depending on your building style, you could do either one.
On my km/inv (which builds pretty much the same way as a km/wp) I went with the recharge intensive route, just because of how much faster it felt (I really don't care for FB, as well).
The benefit from a high-recharge build, however, is that PS will be up more often, thus meaning more ramping, meaning more damage output. Also, the faster attacks means you'll ramp up a little faster, which helps in teaming where it's more difficult to keep up a fueled PS.
KM attack chains are all pretty close to each other in terms of DPA, and this one can run BB-> SB -> BB -> QS ->SB ->CS
(so your 5th PS ramp fuels that CS. It makes for an amazing *chunk*)
Anyway, here's the build I did.

Should be pretty hard to kill, and should have a good time killing everything else in the process.
