Okay, using your ladder and your comments about being decent at L27.
An SO build that should be sustainable (with an ungodly number of holds for a troller at that level).

Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.
I don't have access to Mids at the moment, but I'll try give a little bit of advice anyway.
I can't say I can really see what you're doing with the build as it is, but what I would suggest; drop Crush, its a low dot which is pretty unnecessary, you'll want to try get Gravity Distortion up as often as possible to maximise on Impact! damage, Lift and Propel are very hard hitters, and Crushing Field should be used to lockdown your other targets. I'd suggest taking Time's Juncture instead of Crush, its a must have power for the -ToHit it gives added to the +Def to from Farsight it'll make you quite hard to hit.
Since you've taken Combat Jumping aswell as SJ, Spring Attack would be a nice option to take for some AoE damage, maybe in your empty slot at 30.
Some closing points, I'd take Hasten, maybe the Fighting pool for Tough and Weave if you want to max out for defense. Power Boost in your Anchillary if you want to max out Farsight and controlling powers.
Here's a few thoughts for you:
Gravity is a single target damage specialist. Time has a nice mix of powers, including the PB AoE ToHit Debuff. In Gravity, I'm not convinced that Dimension Shift is worth taking even with the huge improvements -- in any event, it is a situational power and can be delayed. (Maybe you should try it out, with an idea to respec it out if you don't like it -- the mechanics of it are pretty odd.) Crush is also optional -- it used to be that Crush actually did more damage than Lift, but the recent changes made Lift better. Again, it is not a bad power, but it is skippable. In Time, Temporal Selection is a nice buff for a teammate, but this kind of single target buff can be skipped. Also, Time Stop is a nice single target hold, again nice to have but not essential. Of the four skippable powers, I would try to keep Time Stop, then Crush.
I consider invisibility to be very important to a Gravity controller. Why? Singularity makes a GREAT tank, and if you are invisible, you can lead Singy into battle without being bothered yourself. There are lots of other advantages to invisibility, too. However, I think that the Stealth Pool is a waste. I prefer choosing Super Speed with a Stealth IO. (Use Allignment merits to make a low-level Celerity Stealth.) You get a travel power and a stealth power in one power choice. Plus, Hasten is always a benefit to controllers. Adding Combat Jumping later for Immob protection and a place for a Luck of the Gambler Recharge and/or a Karma -Knockback is also helpful. (By the way, I saw EndRdx slotted into Combat Jumping in some of the previous builds -- that's a wasted slot as CJ only uses .07 endurance. You will do better using that slot somewhere else.)
LOCAL MAN! The most famous hero of all. There are more newspaper stories about me than anyone else. "Local Man wins Medal of Honor." "Local Man opens Animal Shelter." "Local Man Charged with..." (Um, forget about that one.)

Essentially he's leveling right now. So we need to take into account the fact that we can't hand him an L50 "finished" build and expect him to level up with it. I've had people try this with finished builds and it always made the leveling process horrific.

Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.
So, I ported Captain Eeep! over to Beta and built him up on the ladder I posted. I learned a few tweaks and tricks from various builds, but this is still only bare slotting, trying to find the very best balance.
And, as Local Man suggested, Dimension Shift is still a wholly skippable power - the duration is just too Short! Distortion Field works very nicely. Time Stop does no damage, but it's a great way to put another enemy 'on hold' - for all of those times when Gravity Distortion just isn't coming back fast enough.
Between Containment and Impact, Gravity is still awesome at juggling 1, 2, sometimes 3 enemies, but when there's more, you'll want a partner to help clean them up. Wormhole is still strange and quirky, but useful when it works right. When I tried it, the enemy was Thoroughly stunned, but scattered, not clumped in the corner, where I wanted them.
Super Speed was almost too fast, but combined with a +Stealth in Sprint, it was quite effective at keeping me unnoticed. I switched to Power Slide when stealthiness was not needed.
So, I'm looking at switching out Dimension Shift for a bit more protection and debuff, in the form of Time's Juncture. The resulting build would look like this:

One thing. At that level, with as few defenses as you have, I'd put an EndRed into Combat Jumping. You lose less than half a percent of defense and you're mitigating resting end consumption.

I disagree. Combat Jumping only uses 0.07 End per second, which may be the lowest cost toggle in the game (other than no-cost toggles). In low levels and all levels, you can get a much greater benefit from a slot used for something else.|

Resting End Consumption is not a problem . . . use during battle is the problem. If you are having endurance issues, slot a Miracle proc, a Numina Proc and slot your most used powers for EndRdx.

Better control and more damage (on average) from GD. Less Endurance and more than double the damage (on average) from Crushing Field. More Recovery overall. -Knockback from the Karma in CJ.
Putting the Celerity into Super Speed and not using Sprint actually reduces the overall endurance cost. And it makes more sense . . . I assume you will not be using Super Speed during "lead out" missions. Later you can put an EndRdx in Super Speed if you feel you need to, or just turn it off during combat.
You will want to put a 4th Baz Gaze into Time Stop for the nice Recharge. You will want 4 Dark Watcher in Time's Junction.

I like this, particularly the Basilisks. They'll need a smidge of help at higher levels, but I'll have the slots for it, then. However, I don't feel they're the best choice for Gravity Distortion. Yes, that's a Hold, yes, it's already very accurate, and yes, one wants it to recharge quickly.|

It's also a damage-dealing power, which is why I slotted Thunderstrikes. For the 3 slots I could allocate, that seemed to be the best choice. When I have 5 slots, I'll switch to Decimations. At this lower level, it seems to me that the best use of Procs is in AoE powers. Your slotting of Crushing Field, for example - however, I feel that CF needs more accuracy. and, when I get two more slots free, the whole ATIO into GDF, which doesn't have damage otherwise.
Hmm, I really ought to explore the second ATIO and see what it can do for me.
Anyway, the one detail I think you missed is in the travel slotting. I generally run Power Slide as my movement power and I run it continually, even in battle, along with Combat Jumping. For Travel, I add Super Speed and the Quickfoot Run/End caps my speed as well as saving a little End. When I want Stealth, I switch to Sprint and when I want More Stealth, Sprint + Super Speed. I feel that gives me the most flexibility and explains why I had the slotting I did.
Be Well!

Searching the forums, I find a confusing plethora of builds and not much Guidance.
One issue is that the posted builds are almost always level 50 tweaked, incarnated, purple, specialized builds for one person's playstyle. Meanwhile, I'm just trying to figure out what to do with my level 27 Controller. Frankly, an encounter with DFB followed by a rogue power-leveler means that I jumped a dozen levels in a single evening and have no idea what I'm doing! The other thing I notice is that some of the builds on the forums are Gravity Controllers and some of them are Time Controllers... each with completely different ideas about what power is most important.
So... frankly, this is a bunch of powers tossed onto the ladder almost at random. I have some experience with Gravity Control, but none with Time Manipulation and none with the new/changed aspects of Gravity. I'm hoping that your feedback and discussion will help me to find the right balance between Gravity and Time and Pools to make a good middle-level Controller that I can enjoy playing in normal content. A leveling build is what I need.
