Kat/EnA/Body Build Advice

[lightpunch]

Hi folks,

 

I'm currently working on a katana/energy aura scrapper and was hoping someone would offer thoughts on my build. I'm not the best with theorycrafting and even then, I'm better at it with trollers and defenders, so hopefully someone could point out what I'm doing wrong or could be doing better.

 

My aims for the build, some caveats, and some questions:

1. I'm going for speed (in "feel" more than actual mob-burning rate) and efficiency (in terms of endurance). I know there are better sets for speed in a number of senses (savage, claws, StJ), but Katana is fast enough for me, has a +def power, and works with the concept. And my understanding is kat/en is a pretty good pick for an endurance-efficient character.
2. I'm also hoping to be able to take on some AVs solo. I don't aim for her to be a "AV Killer," but I want her to be able to duke it out and win with some of the more reasonable ones. If the only reasonable way to make that happen is once Alpha is already slotted, so be it, but it'd be cool if I could manage it before then.
3. There is a concept behind the build (tl;dr tech ninja), so as not optimal as they may be, I am hoping to keep things like the Experimentation set and Laser Beam Eyes in the build.
4. I understand the core mechanics of procs vis-a-vis base and enhanced recharge rates, but I'm still basically a novice with them. Which powers should I proc out and which should I not? What defensive/support procs are worth having, and where should I put them (health, stamina, energize, energy drain, etc.)?
5. Should I be aiming for perma hasten and capped defense without entropic, avalanche, or energy drain, or is it reasonable to factor them in at a low mob quantity?
6. Is my order of set bonus priorities (typed def + rech > psi resist > procs > regen) the right approach for this build?

 

Thanks in advance!
