Well, since you asked so politely...
Fault is excellent mitigation and can be slotted with sets that give very nice bonuses. I'd drop the Widow and take Fault instead.
Regarding slotting:
Your build is very focused on recharge bonuses which seems like a bit of overkill considering that you have the Spiritual Alpha and all those LotG +Recharges. I think you'd be better off trying to soft-cap E/NE as well as S/L, so my slotting suggestions will be geared toward that goal.
You've almost no resistance enhancement at all except in MoB. I'd drop a couple of resistance commons into HPT and fully slot Tough for resistance--a Reactive Armor set would be perfect.
I don't think you need two Mako's slots in the mallets and Seismic Smash. I'd go with 5 slots--the KC set and the Mako's quad, and use the 6th slots elsewhere. I'd put one slot in Stone Fist and use the others to add resistance slotting.
I know you're using the Doctored Wounds sets for the recharge bonus, but you could get by with 3 or 4 Numina's instead if you need the slots elsewhere--and I think you do.
WP doesn't need KB protection, I'd swap out the BotZ in SJ for a Winter's Gift.
You could get 3.75% more E/NE defense by 6-slotting Gloom with Thunderstrike.
The combination of an RA set in Tough and 4 slotting Fault with Mocking Beratement will allow you to drop both the Oblit set in Tremor and the RR set in Build Up. Instead, slot Tremor with 3 Eradication and 3 Cleaving Blow. With the Thunderstrikes in Gloom you'll be just over 1% away from E/NE softcap.
Here's your build with the changes I recommended:

1) It should be quite sturdy as you've slotted it, but I think that the changes I suggested will help--especially the additional E/NE defense.
2) Yes, as I mentioned above, I consider ST attacks to be fully slotted with just a KC set and a Mako's quad, especially since you are planning to take Spiritual for additional recharge. IME, you an get away with just five slots with most high-level attack sets.
3) Your posted build isn't bad by any means, but personally I like more E/NE defense if I can get it. Energy is the most common damage type after S/L by a wide margin. YMMV of course.

If I came off as impolite, my apologies for that.
And thanks for the build critique, it looked like I insert a lot of unneccesary extras in a lot of my attacks.
I probably did go overboard with the recharge, I just love Seismic Smash that much wanted it up asap haha.
One further question - Is the Widow from Soul Mastery bad? The idea of having another summon alongside Lore Pets interested me, but if it's a mindless null, then I can live without it.

It has lieutenant-level hit points so is a bit squishy depending on your difficulty settings. It has decent defenses and in a group with buffs flying around I've seen them survive quite well. I've also had one charge a group of 4 +1 level Malta (lieut gunslinger, three minions, no sapper) and it killed two minions before the gunslinger and summoned turret dropped it while I was fighting a completely unrelated spawn.|

I think the Leviathan pets are the best performing, but the widow is not useless unless you run very high difficulty solo, or against enemies with huge amounts of AoE.
also, fantastic set bonuses for the recharge intensive pet sets. =)
Edit: I will say that if you solo on high difficulty it will probably die within seconds on your first spawn. Don't think that was clear enough in my post originally.

Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.
