I think you're greatly shortchanging yourself by limiting to Dwarf Form. Human form has a great deal of utility and a lot of damage can be brought out of it. Have you seen my guide for the MFing Warshade? It's geared towards tri-form players and puts an equal emphasis on all forms. Please give that a read.
Where to now?

don'T attempt to read tHis mEssaGe, And believe Me, it is not a codE.
I've read your guide several times and I've gotten a great deal of information from it, my only problem is, I have no idea what powers to pick or how to slot many of them. You say to avoid the blasts and shields, but for several levels they were my only choice. The guide is both hugely helpful and frustrating at the same time.
I'm going to save you 125 million influence. You have 6 LotG 7.5% global recharge IOs. Only 5 of any particular bonus works.
You also need to remember the context of that guide when going to apply it to your own situation. Generally speaking, you skip the blasts in human form because it is far more efficacious to slot the blasts in the Nova form which will outperform the similar human blast powers. You want to pick up the utility powers in human form and, when you have no good choices, you pick up either powers that offer good benefit with minimal slotting (such as Hasten) or powers that can serve as IO set mules with no real anticipation of actual use (although here again, you want to balance this against your need for slots in the powers you do intend to use).
In specific, you do not have many slots in either Stygian Circle or Unchain Essence and you do not have Quasar at all - these are areas you might address. Also, as noted above, you have overslotted your LOTGs. The problem now becomes that, because you have slotted the forms so exhaustively you have relatively little wiggle room for adding slots to any more human-form powers. This is where it becomes more of a playstyle call as you work out how many slots you can spare from here or there and what you consider to be of higher priority. There is certainly nothing wrong with a forms specialist build - this is actually one of the more common variants and it works just fine.
Striking the perfect balance in a tri-form build is a challenge, no doubt about that. My Warshade remains one of my tightest builds out of any character I have, and for me this is part of what makes the character so satisfying - that I truly have to think and work out how to get the most from his build and customize him to the way I want him to play.

THanks for the feedback! I understand the confusion of not embracing the human part fully in this build. ( I was being lazy and just planned on all those to be 1 slot anyway) Just a little history of the character. This WS was at one time, pure human build with just about the same bonuses in IO's. I found it slow/boring to solo as pure human since a lot of his buffs come from teammates. With this tri-form, things die a lot faster....a lot faster. A lot of my other characters are tanks/scrappers and being in dwarf form allows me to continue this play style, especially since I have antagonize six slotted.
Most of the sets I was able to port over and work into a tri-form build. The only exception was Dwarf melee and Antagonize sets (which I cannibalized off of another character that I no longer play). Thanks for catching the extra LoTG! No need to save me money, this too was taken from another character. I'll store it for a rainy day.
I have read your guide Dechs and thankful for the read. I think I will stick with this setup as it has proven to be far superior to human only form,(IMO of course) and I can say this since I was on that side of the fence at one time. 
Tweaked the build to include Quasar in this one.. not sure how I missed that one in previous post :/
Just got Judgement slotted last night. This guy is a farming beast. eclipse Mire, mire, nova detonate, mire, Quasar, stgian circle, mire, mire, judgement.

I have been running this guy in human form only (for the challenge) for a while when I decided to respec back into tri form with IOs. All I can say is, wow, what have I been missing. All of the IO's I had been using for human form only I was able to port over into the tri form. My aim was to max out recharge for perma-eclipse and it has been achieved. I am able to have out 3 fluffies as well. As for the other stats I do not care about as Eclipse/Mires/Return fill in the holes.
I stay in dwarf form about 95% of the time (only to drop out to allow hasten to recharge and use eclipse. I sometimes use sunless mire, but the dwarf mire recharges so stinkin fast that I just sit there, taunt, mire, taunt, mire that most enemies are dead within 2 mires.
Yes it was expensive.
Feedback appreciated. Thanks
