One thing to be careful of, on a traps especially, if you are relying on FFG -- there is lag on fast moving teams to keep that mezz protection and bubble over for all the time that you might receive an overwhelming 5% damage spike on the defense rolls. That said, seeker drones are your friend

HelinCarnate:OMG it is so terrible. I have the option to take 3 more powers but no additional slots. Boo F'ing hoo.
It's gotten kinda bad when people see bots, stop, and assume it's paired with traps.
The thing you need to be careful of, on a time especially, 
is you have power boost on with your toggles on mids.
Before farsight, your 42.5% S/L defense, 40.8% E defense, and the rest is 26% or higher. With a vannila farsight, you add 14.87%. With a PBed Farsight, add 21%. PBed farsight puts you to iSoftcap on S/L/E and standard softcap to everything else.
EDIT: And I almost forgot, I don't know if mids adds the Probot bubbles. If it doesn't you could add those on top of what I just said.

BTW, quick check on your build. You dont need Time Crawl 6-slotted. It can go with 1 acc, you can afford to lose a bit of defensa. Add 2 slots to battle drones and put the pets uniques
At the same time, Im not sure you need the pvp 3% def, you may want to check it out and save yourself 2 bills
Drop acrobatics. Put one steadfast knocback in place of the pvp 3%. Get provoke, put there the 3 remanining slots and put 4 perfect zingers (including the proc). There tankermind, and a endfree power that can do some damage :P
If you take prot bubble into account, you dont even need a def shield nor powerboost, so you can take a different epic, but thats something to really think since it will change a lot of things

Time is ridiculously strong with farsight and chronoshift.

I've posted my Bots/Time/Mace build several times now, but yes, it is very easy, and not all that expensive to achieve:
-Softcapped DEF to EVERYTHING BUT PSI for PVE content
-Softcapped to S/L/E/NE for iTrial content
-Psi DEF is at 42% so pretty near softcap for PVE
My Bots are 55%+ DEF to everything but Psi (38% there)
The above accomplished via several permas and IO bonuses:
-PermaHasten
-Perma ChronoShift
-Perma Powerboosted Farsight (that's +26.15% DEF to EVERYTHING right there thanks to Enzyme slotting in PB...even with the nerf to Enzymes, pull them out and put in recharge and vanilla PB still throws you way up there and TJ covers anything it can't softcap).
-Several bonuses from IO's
-The shield from Bots

You don't need Provoke to Tankermind on a Bots/Time/Mace build as I've posted above. I do recommend either SS or Teleport Self so you can jump right into the spawn and get the 'Bots to open up from range. But with softcapped defense and TJ running, nothing is hitting you anyways and your debuffs simply slow anything down from running away. Provoke is totally optional to the build to accomplish this.
| Drop acrobatics. Put one steadfast knocback in place of the pvp 3%. Get provoke, put there the 3 remanining slots and put 4 perfect zingers (including the proc). There tankermind, and a endfree power that can do some damage :P |

We are brothers under the spandex it would seem. I love the combat tp approach to eating the alpha. It's the fastest way to apply time juncture with the conjoined tactic of ranged reply from the bots. I usually try to click temporal mending right before the tp so they have some regen while I am grabbing attention. Slow, to-hit, and damage debuff will grab the aggro. Don't worry about provoke.

Ok, i just have to say that while this boy doesnt kill nearly as fast as some of my brutes his survivability is RIDICULOUS! Looking at my numbers, once I hit 41 (9 bubbles to go) I will be softcapped to everything but psy on the incarnate trials. . . Could this possibly be accurate?
And if so, can I just say the ride to 40 has been fast, furious, and fabulous!
