Hey there.
So, I've been looking at ways to improve my build for a while, while also staying conceptual. I was wondering if people could take a loot at this iteration and tell me what they think. Due to the new AT Enhancements coming in i24, this build is due for change, but right now, this is the best I can do.

------------
The build, like more Fiery Aura builds, is designed for high damage output, but this was a challenge to see if I could obtain increased survivability. The build contains 2 Build up Procs, Assault Hybrid and Diamagnetic Interface to try and do as much damage as possible. if all go off at the same time, the build hits the damage cap with little to no issue.
Purples are there for the sole-purpose of accuracy, as said stat has been lacking in the past.
Burn isn't in the build since it's a flying build. Kind of silly to have a it, so, Combat Jumping, which provides equal Immobilisation protection, has been used instead.
Repulsing Torrent has been picked instead of Tactics. Since Power Siphon goes off enough as it is, with increased crit chance allowing Concentrated Strike to bring it back enough, To-hit isn't too difficult to come by. That, and Repulsing Torrent acts as a second ranged attack.
The previous iteration of the build was strong enough to Solo a large portion of Arch Villains in the game (though, the Level Shift from incarnate powers helped there) as well as having decent farming capability. This build has much more defence, resistance and health than the previous one, as well as a good amount of recovery.
I wanted to know if there was anything that could be done to improve upon it, just in case there's something I missed. Any help would be fantastic.
Edit:
Forgot to mention, the Judgement used with this build would be Vorpal. It's not included because the Defence Bonus it provides can't be turned off, but with the power having high damage, as well as a short and very valuable boost to defence, I thought it might be key to the Survivability gain of this build. Additionally, Ageless has been picked to eliminate Endurance issues, and allow Damaging powers and the already quick self-heal to come back faster.
