If you are planning on staying in human form a lot then you really won't need 5 slots in White Dwarf and you should probably put at least a couple more slots in Solar Flare as it's a very useful attack.
Quote:
If you're staying "kindamostly" in human form, then you're going to be "kindamostly" staying face down on the ground, because this build is pretty much gutting the human at the expense of the forms - to the point that I wonder if you didn't mistype and really meant you're "kindamostly" staying in forms, while occasionally switching to cast your nuke and photon seekers.|

I don't have time to load it into mids right now, but here's some items at first glance:
IF you're planning on being in human form a large portion of the time:
Slot stamina. You'll need it.
Take all three shields and SLOT them.
The only two attacks you've slotted in human form are RS and IS. Your dps is going to be sucktastic regardless of how much recharge you build in. Luminous Detonation and Gleaming Blast are actually not completely horrible when slotted. Might I suggest dropping Pulsar and Conserve energy, taking those two powers and putting the purple sets from your nova attacks in them (along with the slots?) Those purple sets have good bonuses, but they also have good enhancement values that are being wasted in two attacks that you don't intend to use that often.
Same with the Hecatomb in White Dwarf Strike. If you're not intending to use White Dwarf Strike very often, then why on earth wouldn't you swap those enhancements out with the five Crushing Impacts in Radiant Strike? (no offense, Crushing Impact, but you're just not as good a set as Hecatomb)
I'd also rather see you move those Armageddons from Dawn Strike to Solar Flare, where you'll get much more use out of them. Dawn Strike is situational, at best.
To find the slots for that, do this:
Pull that entropic chaos from Glinting Eye and toss it! You've got a dull pain clone and two heals with high recharge! Put that slot in Solar Flare.
Pull that third level 50 IO slot from Hasten and put that in Solar Flare as well. Two level 50 recharge IO's will put you at the ed cap, so the third is largely wasted.
Pull that Performance Shifter out of White Dwarf and save yourself some inf - if you're not going to be in that form much then you won't need it. Put that slot in Solar Flare as well.
Pull that extra Hami out of Pulsar and put that slot in Solar Flare as well. Pulsar's long animation time and low mag are of limited usefulness, and I've already recommended you drop the power altogether in favor of a ranged human blast.
There you go: five slots in Solar Flare for that Armageddon set, plus room in Dawn Strike for the set of your choice. And don't limit yourself to PBAoE sets. Four slots from Kinetic Crash will slot well for damage and accuracy, and will give you three more points of kb protection, with a slot left over for a generic IO to compensate for whatever aspect is lacking. Find a sixth slot for it and you've got another 7.5% recharge (If you've got five 7.5% bonuses, then you can drop one of your LoTG mules for something useful, like maybe Luminous Detonation or Gleaming Blast.
..... So that's my quick advice: start with these changes and fill in the gaps from there, but only
*IF*
you're going to stick to your strategy of staying in human form most of the time.
*IF*
on the other hand, you're willing to swap out your strategy and spend most of your time in forms, then I say go on with your bad self as is. Good build at a glance, and I say run with it.
But only IF you're willing to stay out of human form as much as possible.

Thanks for the excellent advice! Here is a redux of my build. I am leaning far heavier into being a dual form... keeping mostly in human with the ability to flip into Dwarf form as needed, then take Nova form only if I feel like picking off a runner or something.

I know I am probably doing a lot of things wrong with this build. I am trying to put together an a**-kicking PB Tri-form that I can bring into the Incarnate trials without any shame.
I plan on "kindamostly" staying within human form, but flipping to Nova or Dwarf when needed within any group I am in.
Here is what I have so far:

Also, this build is a created with a very high cost in mind. I have had so many alts running so many missions for so long that Influence is no object.
So please pick this build apart and let me know what I am doing wrong
