some quick thoughts:
both weave and maneuvers give the same base defense, but maneuvers uses considerably more end. if you're going to 4 slot only one of these, maneuvers makes more sense for the extra end redux.
you're far enough over the s/l cap that you could drop the kin combats in kick, move 2 slots to maneuvers and one to cj and still be capped, and get another nice global accuracy bonus. or move 2 to web envelope and slot with enfeebled.
were you slotting drain psyche to get you through a nuke crash? i like a bit more healing in there, personally. anyway, i think you could get away without endredux in that power for more recharge.
you're over the hp cap by a bit with your accolades, so you could afford to lose some of those bonuses. i was thinking you could get another 5% global rech in spring attack with oblits, since you're also over the energy def cap. if your goal is s/l and ranged, maybe not.
i don't think 10% regen bonuses are worth pursuing in general, they pale in comparison to drain psyche, which is giving you 130+% per target as you have it slotted. you could drop a slot from scramble thoughts and just put an acc/end from a stun set there. between this slot and the one saved from kick, you could 5 slot your purple ranged set.
personally, i prefer a miracle unique in health (and, for that matter, another slot in stamina -maybe the proc in spring attack?) for those times drain psyche misses against a hard single target.
the ragnarok dam piece is mostly getting eaten by ed. i'd replace it with the d/r, you can use enhancement boosters on the d/r if getting to the ed-cap is top priority.
my 2 inf, ymmv, etc.

Couple things. In theory, the Rag. Proc. should make Psy Tornado move up to 60% control (KUp or KDown) and that should allow for Kin. Proc. to fire off that much more often.
I really like the Kin. Combats. They should help move things like Drain Psyche to perma.
Here's the new build. I think it's much tighter now.

I was looking through my stores of old unfinished characters and came accross my Psy/MM. With a little work from mids, I think I might have come accross a way to make him a decent char again.
The Idea is to use Spring Attack/Drain Psyche/Psy Tornado/Psy Shockwave as my main aoe damage chain. The damage on the combo (IO'd/Incarnated/Concentrated/Focused) is a respectible 934. I think this should allow me to wipe out most of the minions and put a good sized hurt on the rest in a fairly short amount of time while most of the bad guys are flopping around.
Have a look. Any feedback is appreciated.
