Real quick comments: Gun Drone is good, but you're also going to want Ranged Shot slotted out for Arch/Dev in I24, I think, due to the snipe changes.|

Slots will come at a premium. The only easy places I see for picking up slots are to give up one each from Health and Sprint, and to use Enhancement Boosters on Aim and Hasten (+4 to two Lvl 50 Recharge IOs in each one will get them back up to the ED cap with only two slots instead of three, a very handy trick). That nets you four slots so far.
After that, you're gonna have to plunder. If you use both your stuns frequently to stay alive, you might not want to take slots from them, but the alternatives are your key offensive powers or your defenses. Personally I'd lean toward plundering the slots from Force of Nature first, but I don't know how much you rely on it.
I know nothing useful about Incarnate powers beyond the Alpha slot.

Range cap hover blaster with Cloaking device suppressed. You need to add a few slot enhancers to Target Drone to obtain Perma snipe as your at 21.9 currently.
Judgment - Any range because your hovering. Maybe go for the stun component in Fire or Ion.
Interface - Reactive more dps.
Lore - A pet that can fly would be nice so they can fight from range as well or attack mobs that fly up to get you for some personal protection.
Destiny - Rebirth for the Heal and Regen increase..
Hybrid - Again for DPS go Assault.
This build is pretty much my AR Device build just swapped out for Archery..
I'm soloing 4/8 though those Knives type DA mobs can be a pain and I need to move around with them. Great thing about Archery is you can fire ROA out of line of sight.
ROA is up every 16 seconds
Gun Drone is up every 50 seconds with a 90 second duration. End result you get 2 Gun Drones out for 40 seconds.

So, i24 has made me interested in playing blasters again, but my Arch/Dev needs a lot of help. I'd like to up his survivability (specifically for solo play) so that I can work on getting his incarnate powers unlocked and slotted. He currently has only the T1 alpha spiritual slotted, and working through DA has been slow and painful.
So, here's the current build:
