The only thing that jumps out at me is that you could replace the triple in GD with an Acc/Dam or Dam/Mez Hami-O. I'd go with the Acc/Dam. Also, if you find another slot to add more damage to GD, it might help.
Most times, I would suggest skipping the Invisibility pool and use Super speed with a stealth IO in place of Fly and add CJ for your LotG. You can use a Raptor Pack if you need to fly. However, I can see why you have Grant Invis, and the Fly pool opens up Afterburner.
LOCAL MAN! The most famous hero of all. There are more newspaper stories about me than anyone else. "Local Man wins Medal of Honor." "Local Man opens Animal Shelter." "Local Man Charged with..." (Um, forget about that one.)

Greetings fellow controllers,
A friend and I play a duo of Grav/Time controllers (Alpha and Scorpii Antares). The duo was largely thematic, and Grav best fit the bill despite its weaknesses. We've really enjoyed this duo, and expect it to get even better once the (much needed) grav improvements hit. We're closing in on the 40s and are putting together our final, IO'ed out build. I've put the following together in Mids; any thoughts are much appreciated.
A few notes:
1. Once these two hit 50, I expect that we'll do Incarnate content to get our incarnate slots up and then use the duo for random TFs and tip runs.
2. As of now, I've tentatively chosen Cardiac for the Alpha, even though we have conserve power. We want Power Boost for the nice synergy with some of the buffs (especially Farsight) and to obviate the need to get Barrier as a Destiny buff. I know this largely cancels out the need for Conserve Power, but we need to pick something in addition to Temp Invul to get Power Boost. We'd pick up Power Blast or Energy Torrent, but the colors can't be tinted and it would ruin our look. We're picky about the look/concept. All that said, if someone thinks that picking up a different epic than Primal would work better, please let me know.
3. We didn't pick up hasten for the same reason. Glowing orange fists doesn't work at all with this look, and with all of our recharge, we really don't need it.
4. I chose Clarion for Destiny because we have very little status protection. We'll probably both get the same Destiny buff given our twin thing, but this is the one power I'd consider doing different, but synergistic, buffs for. Clarion still seems to be the best choice, though; we can get the 90 second version to boost our range and secondaries even more and just alternate it. We're pretty good at alternating on time.
5. If it matters, our strategy on small teams is to use Wormhole to port large groups to corners and then immobo/distortion bubble them. On large teams, we spend most of our time keeping everyone Farsighted/Chronoshifted, keeping tons of Distortion Bubbles going, and immobolizing/wormholing where needed.
6. We always temporal select each other, to boost the synergistic twin concept.
7. I used Gaussian and the Decimation chance for build-up to try to keep some good build ups going to boost our damage. Damage seems to be the one thing we hurt for, but I expect that to get better once the grav changes hit. I'm also curious if it's worth trying to find room for Propel given the grav changes coming. I'm leaning no for three reasons: first, propel doesn't work perfectly with our concept; second, lift seems to be marginally better, especially with the changes coming; and third, with our very high recharge, lift is up as much as we need it.
Again, all thoughts are welcome. Build is below:
