Wow...your attacks are really underslotted, your end use doesn't look good at all. You have no real need for Hasten in a DB/WP build.
But I'm mostly worried about the enhancement slotting. It's like you went purely for defense at a major decrease in your damage capabilities.
I exempt often on my DB/WP as well, I only use Nimble Slash for when I exempt, as I don't have 1k Cuts like you do in your build. You sau you like the combo, but they're really not all that great, and you could get by with Weaken/Empower and just grab Power Slice for the Sweep combo, and grab SoW (I find it handy to have myself).
Now here's my build (though I think the ingame combat window shows my E/N to be a bit higher than Mids is)...

This is more hit points, more regen, and better end recovery than the posted build, while only really losing a bit of E/N Defense. Done some pretty awesome things with this build, and there's of course room for changes to make it cheaper or what have you, as part of my build is built to exemp down to level 30 and maintain all set bonuses.
I'd work in a bit more +RCH to achieve the Blinding Feint -> Attack Vitals -> Repeat for hard single targets, and just avoid using Hasten with the build.
I took confront specifically for the animation and to hold Recluse's attention on the STF, since you don't want that power, grab Assault for more damage
No Hover, grab 1k Cuts.
If you plan to use max level enhancements, I bet you can get by with 1 LotG +RCH and 1 Enzyme HO, in the defense powers.
Something like this (still expensive and something to work towards, but again no idea if you're willing to hero tip/get lots of influence/what have you for your build) may be what you're looking for.

From a while back, here are three other DB/WP threads with quite a few builds -- of varying costs -- including some softcapped builds with better damage:

For that, you'd need to define "necessary." There are plenty of perfectly viable builds that can do some amazing things WITHOUT purple sets. Purple sets are nice for some things, but not for others. Purples are great if you want a lot of damage, a lot of recharge, a lot of recovery and/or are planning on exemping a lot. Purples are generally awful at providing defensive set bonuses, on the other hand.

I made some changes on build that hindenburg posted while trying to keep what BrandX pointed in mind. I don't like to slot brawl just to get a set (neither i like to slot boxing or kick for same matter) if i need to slot a set in anyway I prefer getting nimble slash and putting set in it. At least when I am hit down by slowing effects I will still have a useful attack and somewhat slotted instead of a useless one being slotted. I didn't mention but I have good amount of inf still I am vary of pvp sets and hami-o's. PvP IO's cost too much especially just getting them for one slot. For hami-o's i prefer to get a set bonus from a slot rather than flat out bonus from power. Although for some powers putting a hami-o's maybe better it means adding another variable to equation i need to be aware of and I can hardly keep IO sets in check (most of the time not even able to)

Here is my build...it takes a different route than BrandX's build...but still VERY survivable. I decided to go with high amounts of regeneration and hitpoints while not sacrificing too much in the way of defense. I exempt down all the time and this character can run any task force without too much trouble. I am happy to answer any questions you may have, but I think you will find a slotted, lvl 50 DB/WP scrapper can hang with the best of the scrapper builds.

Blue Manchew Fire/Fire/EM Tank Level 50 (997 badges and counting) Protector
Brandvlieg DB/WP/BM Scrapper Level 50 (Protector)
Captain Constitution WP/EM/EM Tank Level 50 (Protector)
Blue Thingy Fire/Rad Controller Level 50 (Champion)
Onderdrukker BS/SD/BM Scrapper Level 50 (Champion)
After a long time I finally manage to level my DB/WP scrapper to level 47 and possible get her to 50 in a few days. One thing that bothers me though I find her a little too squishy after my SR. That is ofcourse because of poor sloting but also I don't have a clue to how to slot her. After searching forums for a while I find a build that is mostly to my liking and tweaked on it in mids for a while to get softcap S/L and E/N defenses. But I am stuck after that point so I ask help. here is the build.
1) If possible I want to keep soft cap of S/L/E/N and maybe increase them for another %1 or %2 since defense debuff on this toon is low.
2) I want to know this builds general survivalibility. Its my first time trying to IO anything other than my SR and my WS so I am not sure about resistance or regen values. If resistance and/or regen is not at there yet advices how I get them to desired values.
3) This is a concept build so although I would like to have better numbers on certain things, I don't want to;
a) Sacrife any of primary powers. I may do low level TF's with this toon occasionally and i kinda like power up combo.
b) Any Epic pool other than body is a no. I want to keep her as natural as possible except incarnate stuff and I don't plan to get PPP for her since I don't intend to get to villian side. For weapons I just don't like them.
4) If possible I want to put hasten and superspeed into build but this is not mandatory. Super Jump is a no. I have ninja run if all else fails.
5) I want to know if its possible to have purple sets in any power or are they not necessary?
6) There is alot slot left probably I will put them in attack powers to increase their efficiency just not sure which sets should I aim.
7) What is best attack chain on DB? I am currently using sweep combo->blinding feint->attack vitals while surrounded and power up combo->attack vitals while only one enemy around.
Thanks in advance for all helping hands.
