There's four threads on DB/WP scrappers to get you started!
Since you're not offering your build for advice/critique, here's a few commonalities that run through the above threads:
1) Most secondaries in the game benefit the most from ADDING TO whatever sort of defense they start with. Willpower starts off with a small amount of TYPED defense: smashing/lethal, negative/energy, and so on. Find IO sets that build to your strengths (typed) and forget about the positionals like melee, ranged, and AoE. (More explanations of HOW defense works are in those threads above.)
1) a) Five sets of Kinetic Combat are a great way to get smashing/lethal defense for your willpower scrapper. Unfortunately, as a level 35 IO, the basic four KCs only give mediocre accuracy, damage, etc. to your attacks. Consider "frankenslotting" a fifth and/or sixth enhancement in those attacks for more accuracy, damage and whatnot. Crushing Impact has an Acc/Dam/Recharge, an Acc/End/Recharge, and a Dam/End/Recharge, Mako's Strike has an Acc/Dam/End/Recharge, and so on.
2) For Willpower (and Regen) scrappers, Physical Perfection is THE CRAPPIEST heal/end mod power available. You probably shouldn't put ANY slots in it. (There's a recent thread talking about how IF you've got extra slots lying around, and IF you've got Fast Healing, Quick Recovery, Healing and Stamina all five and six slotted, it's not bad -- but in MY experience there's no such thing as "extra slots laying around" with DB/WP, only "gah! If only I had ONE [or two or three] MORE slots!")
Hopefully all that will get you off to a good start!

Here's my prospective brute version....basically the same as a scrapper but I like WP on brutes due to the higher HPs and regen
