Just made a few changes. Recharge is slightly less but hitpoints, regen, damage resist is higher. With the Force Feedback proc triggering often, the one sec difference in LR/SC's recharge will become askew anyways. Your build is pretty solid regardless of my recommendations.

Checkout the Agility Alpha. It provides end mod, recharge and defense buffs which can help your build as well. If you switch to Agility and/or get a Glad Armor +3% def, your build can easily transition to purple sets while maintaining softcap def.

Was going to go Scrapper but I made the toon and leveled it long ago, claimed 5 xp boosters without noticing it was a brute.

I wouldnt enjoy the low damage output of the brute. Scrapper pwns brute damage.
