I was disappointed that I wasn't able to reach the softcap for smashing/lethal.  (Maybe this isn't as important for a Mastermind as it is for other archetypes.  I'm not sure.)  The easiest way I can see to accomplish that would be to slot Blistering Cold into Lash.  Is that advisable?  Did I totally miss the mark by trying to proc it out?

Here's my attempt. It's closer to s/l softcap but not really there. It sports more recharge(thanks to splitting up mark of sup and using +FF on lash), slightly less end(but a higher end discount, so it should work out better in the...end), higher KB protection(getting KBed out of your pets' range will make them lose a bunch of auras...), less s/l res. I also reslotted your pets completely, I don't believe blood mandate is useful(providing positionals which you don't have much of). The empty slots you can do whatever with. I like slotting the ember shield because it brings the demon closer to res cap, which is 90. 

Technically, the easy way to achieve softcap would be to take fighting. I personally don't think it's that important as demon/thermal.

I'd say softcap defense is nice, but not vital, unless you plan to tankermind.  Since I don't see provoke in your build I'm assuming you aren't going for that.  Keep in mind that in bodyguard mode you have really good resistances when needed, which helps a lot.
