Things of note for the build below: 

 

1) Yes, it is using boosters in a few powers to help push some numbers like defense/accuracy.  However, the end result lets you hit enemies that are +4 to your level without the need for the endurance drain in Tactics. 

2) Your current build can run Power Bolt - Power Blast - Power Push on repeat.  That takes 4.356 seconds to fully cycle.  The build below uses Power Burst - Power Push - Focused Power Bolt.  That takes 6.464 seconds to cycle.  It also does about twice the damage.  Power Bolt gets taken purely to trigger to Offensive Opportunity once your meter is full.  There is NO reason to use that attack at all.  Power Burst - Push - FP Bolt can be run indefinitely at the recharge in the build (180%). 

3) Hasten isn't using any boosters, but some boosters will make it perma (+3 in both drops it to 120.9 second recharge). 

4) Note, Energize is now effectively permanent. 

5) Aim with the Gaussian's set will give you better occasional burst damage when the Build-Up proc triggers.  This has a 25 second cooldown, just like Nova.  That's a big improvement over the default 38 seconds on your current Aim and 31s Nova.  
6) If you're bothering to take Flight, do take Afterburner -- or don't bother.  You can cap flight speed with just Hover and vendor based jetpacks.  The build below takes Afterburner for fun.

7) You don't need Chain Fences if you slot KB/KD IOs. 

8 ) You don't really need any of the Sentinel ATOs, but Opportunity Strikes is in FP Bolt because it can be a decent spot for it.  If you don't give an F about the knockback in Energy, then you could go nuts with full sets.  You could also go for more damage procs.  

9) The original build pushes a lot of elemental defense at the expensive of a lot of endurance drain.  You should be able to live with just "high" Negative defense unless you are purposely facing a lot of Dark Blast using enemies.  Generally Smashing, Lethal, and Energy are the more common types at end game.  Psychic, Cold, and Negative aren't really worth considering though Cold is married to Fire in set bonuses.  
10) Your Incarnate Alpha option will be more favorable towards Musculature Core which is a pretty big damage boost vs Agility which will not be much of a damage boost at all. 

 

One could shift around some sets and what not for preference.  I just made this pretty quickly to illustrate that the build could be improved by thinking about it in a very different manner.  

 

Good luck!
