First, don't use kinetic combat with /nin. Kin combat is for s/l defense. Also, you NEVER want to use just the 4 slots for your real attacks. It has waaaaayyyy too low accuracy. Swap out for some Mako and Touch of Death. Use Obliteration in place of Scirocco or Eradication if you can't find the slots.
Don't take concealment. Get maneuvers/leadership instead.
Drop speed for fighting and get tough/weave. Weave is awesome, and tough gives you several options for defense bonuses. Plus it is a huge survivability bonus. You have nothing that really needs haste.
with weave, maneuvers, combat jumping, the steadfast protection and 6-piece Gaussians you're at over 15% def all. Added to your toggles you're in the upper 30s. Only need 2 or 3 good bonuses in each category to reach the cap from there.
For stamina, if you are 3 slotting you want the Perf Proc, Perf end mod, and common end mod. Only use the end/rech and end/acc if you are 4 slotting. but you shouldn't need that. You should be fine with just two slots in stamina (perf proc and perf end mod)
for health, I'd go with just 2 slots and add the miracle and numina's uniques and call it a day. Use those slots on your attacks.
Caltrops: If you only put in one proc, make it the ragnarok chance for knockdown. Trust me on this. Best use of a single slot EVAR!!!!one11!
Is it a major part of your character to use the shuriken? Because there are far better options for powers to pick.
my advice on incarnate:
Alpha: Musculature (or nerve if you are dead set on this low accuracy and using Kinetic combat)
Interface: Reactive primary, diamagnetic if you team alot and everyone has reactive
Destiny: the heal (no +hp version) one whose name I forget. This will be a much bigger help to you than barrier since you're already capped on defense
Judgement: Void. you're in their face anyway so the PBAoE is fine, and the -dam version gives you enormous survivability combined with your defenses.
lore: take your pick. drones or polar lights will be the least obvious ones visually.

Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.
Thanks for the suggestions. I didn't even spot my mistake with Kinetic Combat (obviously). Your thoughts made this much easier and produced a better build.
Some notes:
I dropped the Weapon Mastery pool for Body Mastery. Freed up some slots and gave me some excellent powers to deal with what has been an issue for me through the first 23 levels: endurance. I don't want to use anything flashier from among the ancillary pools because of concept, and I didn't see anything in the patron pools that warranted the 8 day investment that is side-switching both ways.
I went with Combat Jumping over Maneuvers due to the endurance cost.
Let me know what you think:

But the really good options in the patron pools are:
Waterspout in Leviathan
Shadow Meld in Soul
And all of them with the pet 6-slotted with blood mandate for ~8% defense or 4 slotted with expedient reinforcements for recharge bonus.
There're a few others. Like PvP the sharks are awesome.
anyway my first comment would be to put numina into health before miracle. The end difference is tiny and the heal you will notice with the level of defense that you have. If at all possible scrounge one ore slot so you can have both in health and put a perf shifter into physical perfection.
I don't know if you have anything that really needs the level of recharge you're packing so pulling all the slots out of kick (which is a set mule really) and using those elsewhere should help a lot. If you do, I recommend putting the kismet accuracy into hide.
