I would go reactive, rebirth, void, and cimmy.
Shield charge and void is a brutal combo.

Partial Radial Reactive
Partial Radial Rebirth
Total Radial Void (I think this is the one with the debuff)
and either Total Core Cimerorans for the hawt boss or Partial Radial Cimes for the 50% uptime (vs 33% uptime).

Interesting build.
For me, I didn't want to have to choose Cardiac, so I got rid of the Oblits as they were crippling my End use.
Instead, I went Musculature for more damage.
Just spent 20 minutes comparing your build to mine, and it's depressing how similar they are in terms of end results... I think I get maybe 20% more damage (bonus) across my attacks at the cost of 1 End on most of the attacks and slower recharge. I also have different power choices (didn't really choose an epic as I wanted more melee attacks, as well as Parry for iTrials) - so it's like comparing apples and oranges but ending up with a very similar flavour.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I am going with the Cims, Void, Rebirth (SO nice to have a heal), and Reactive.
I really did not want Cardiac, yet I wanted soft-cap, and the ability to pull an energizer bunny and keep going, and going, and going...
Once this build is 100% (Yes I'm stopping at tier 3s for now), I'm going to experiment with Alphas. If I get Musculature, and Ageless destiny it might make up for endurance.
With my recharge, I can go BU > Hack > DisemB > HS > and start at BU. For trials, it's so much fun Shield Charge > Void > Fireball > WS and most mobs are dead. With this build, I feel very strong in melee, and a monster in AoE.
I would suggest playing around with it Laughing. If you don't mind, I would like to see your build if your more melee centered.

Tier 4 Reactive on a Broadsword is impressive. You'll be amazed how much more damage you are doing...it really does add up, far more noticeable when you are whittling on a boss. There are some minions you used to have to smack twice and now you can just hit them once and they die from the DOT a few secs later.
I'm keeping T3 on em all just until they're all even. (currently at t3 alpha, lore, and rebirth). I'm having a heck of a time getting anything above Uncommon in trials. \
I think the RNG just hate's me but once I get things built up, I'm going to work on my T4's.

Not saying this is the be-all and end-all of builds, but it plays very well. Only difference between this and live is the fact that I'm now removing Conserve Power (+2 slots) because I don't need it. I've replaced it with Caltrops (though that may change again for Grant Cover for the Def Debuff Resistance). Going to have a play on test with both options before I make a decision. Also have a couple of slots to spare (stored in Brawl at the moment)

Here is my current build for my BS/SD. I have tier 1 cardiac and just curious if anyone has any better tips for the build, and what do you think would be the best incarnates?
I'm a single target and AOE machine...
