Dual Blades/Invulnerability critique

Hello all, I recently revived this character. I normally play defenders so anything with status protection is easymode by comparison, which is why I'm at a loss of what to do with this build. I'm currently working for the build posted below, but any feedback would be appreciated.

I too recently created this combo and would like to see any feedback on this build.

Evilmeister, what you built has some impressive defense and near as much recharge as you'll squeeze out of a tanky brute builld, but it can definitely be tweaked.

You have a couple of bonuses over the cap, and some wasted slots here and there. You can also make a great build without the Glad. Strikes, and without worrying about building up f/c defense (due to the relative rarity of pure f/c damage in the game, and what there is can be covered with a luck if actually necessary).

My revised build is based on my claw/inv/energy scrapper that i've loved for years. It drops Unstoppable for Hasten (for more Dull Pain uptime and better recharge on attacks), functionally softcapped vs. s/l/e/n with 1 foe, just shy of 3k hp w/ Dull Pain + accolades, purple proc + -res proc in ablating, and otherwise keeps the same power choices. Hope this helps.

Thank you for the suggestions, Telperion - unfortunately I had already finished most of the build I was working on when I noticed your post, so I decided to largely stick with the original one. As you pointed out, I had some set bonus over the cap so I replaced a couple of Gladiator's Strike with Mako's Bite. Moving the proc's to attacks I use regularly was also a minor change compared to the original build. My attack chain is typically Blinding Feint - Thousand Cuts - Power Slice - Typhoon's Edge - Sweeping Strike - repeat. Having a damage proc in every attack used seemed like a decent idea.

Regarding the PvP-IO's, I had them all in storage so it was no major investment in time to get hold of them for me. Also, after running at 50 I noticed that I don't really *need* more recharge, so I switched my Alpha slot for Nerve - partly because I usually don't slot Nerve and partly to cover up the lack of Accuracy since I'm using an exemplaring build with 33's.

Having Dull Pain permanent would be nice, but at the moment I'm just not feeling the hits coming through enough to ever really remember using it at all. Then again, I've never been much of a Hasten-fan and this combo seemed to be working well enough without it. If the primary set would have had shorter animation times, I probably would've felt as if there was a gap in the attack chain without adding more global recharge or Hasten

Having notorious bad luck, I also went with straight End mod for my powers that take it - I don't feel comfortable taking a chance on whether the end I need it ticking in fast enough. I also used Enhancement boosters to increase the end cost reduction on some of the 30's and 33's. If I would've used higher level sets this probably wouldn't have been necessary, but I like the idea of being able to exemplar down to 30 while still maintaining almost all defence and having decent end management.

The "sturdy" build I went with is in the data chunk below, I think I'll use the suggested recharge-focused build for my second build slot.
