Reworking old toons 1: Need Critique, DB/WP Scrapper

Did you measure your attack chain against the Attack Vitals combo? I must admit a short pause can drain an attack chain. Sometimes its better to have something, even Brawl. Slotting for Brawl sucks if used.
What am I not keen on, well if you can't softcap one dam type perhaps its best to be one luck away with four or all dam types.
Not keen on your attacks that look like slot mules. You did Proc them but those procs aren't always worth it compared to a damage, you could change slotting and look at DPA or DPS results.
He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.
My calculated DPA with this attack chain is 209.
Calculated DPA with Blinding Feint + Attack Vitals combo is 184. (I included the AV proc which moved the DPA from 172-174)
The pause is ~0.195s without Ageless Core Epiphany. Adding a low dpa attack in the chain would actually do more harm than good.
For mitigation, Smashing/Lethal is near softcap with strong resistance as well. Fire/Cold is softcapped. Energy and Negative are very close to softcap. Psionic has good Def+Res mitigation. Toxic is my weakpoint, but very rare. Strong Regen (611%) should be sufficient to make it for trials. (Although if you have any suggestions, I could make changes)
One of the nice things about DB/WP is that it requires so few powers and slots for the powers that you are using that it allows you to mule a lot. On the other hand, it requires you to mule a lot if you want to hit those juicy mitigation numbers.
One more thing, you can buy Kinetic Combat from the Paragon Market and they will actually adjust all the way to level 50.
I have an old scrapper laying around, thinking of rebuilding for iTrials, and was looking at increasing mitigation and simplifying my attack chain.
Mainly a solo toon, but would also like to be a productive member of a team,
Proposed attack chain is Blinding Feint>Ablating Strike>Sweeping Strike>Short Pause>Ablating Strike>
Can I improve my attack chain?
Can I improve recharge?
Can I improve Def/Res/Reg?
I am not hooked on any of these powers, and will take all criticisms to improve the build. I also haven't played this toon in over a year, so will have to relearn anyways, but that's where I stand:
