Dark/Mental critique?

I was wondering if I could get a once over on this build...I haven't played a blaster in ages and I would like some feedback.

-edit- BTW, I intend to take Ageless and Barrier destiny (both to change out as needed) and haven't 100% decided on judgement I was think of taking void though.

I was hoping for some suggestions about how to get closer to the softcap for Def, but it appears that is not going to happen...

OK to get closer to the soft cap the easiest thing to do would be switch villain and pick up scorpion shield.

There all I did was change your epic and bam you at 50% s/l defence

This is a... strange build. I'm not gonna tear it apart bit by bit as quite a lot seems 'wrong', to me- but it could well be that my priorities are just different.

Slot your attacks as attacks.
Tenebrous tentacles deals as much dmg as your other 2 cones, Abyssal Gaze and Life Drain both deal decent dmg properly slotted, Gloom is your best ST attack, Psy Shockwave is severly underslotted (and a great attack)...

I wouldn't sweat the recovery bonuses so much (especially considering you severely underslotted stamina), as Drain Psyche provides quite a bit of recovery even on a single target (and also a nice -regen buff vs. AVs).
