tw/da m/r softcap power question

Ok, so my tw/da is at melee softcap with 1 application of def sweep (go hamio +lotg!), and my ranged is just flat out at soft cap. I only have 20% aoe def.

I have 2 power picks left. 47/49. I have _no clue_ what to take, since I can in no way afford slots to contribute to them. I have tough/weave/punch, cj/sj. I have _all_ powers from tw except confront. I have neither OG nor CoF. I cant really stand OG by itself, since it makes the mobs wander out of all my cones, and I don't think I can support CoF on just 1 slot of end redux. What is a good pick for those two powers that can work with just the one slot?

I am taking Resilience core at 50, and definitely not cardiac.

Okay, so I have to ask. No Cardiac? At all? I get Resilient Core will give you 33% versus Cardiacs' 20%, but that's it. Cardiac still comes packing with a very beneficial Endurance Reduction across the board. A 4% difference in resistance totals really just doesn't seem a valid argument for the amount of blue-bar you'd save off of Cardiac. I could see the reasoning if the secondary had access to Consume or Power Sink, but it's TW/DA, Endurance Monger and viral consumer of all things Blue.

Additionally: Body Mastery - Conserve Power and Physical Perfection

I already have Conserve and PP, so I am pretty set for end usage without cardiac. The extra res does help though.

I'll look at a build when I get home today.

It should be pretty similar to building a Broadsword or Katana for positional softcap, which I've done (he's awesome)
