A couple of your power choices seem off.  Taking Boggle over Concentration (your build-up) seems odd to me.  I would probably swap them out so you can have your build-up power.  But if you are to use Boggle, you could have stacked it with Blinding Powder.  Mental Strike is another one that you may look into dropping for the far more useful Psi Blade Sweep.  Scrappers tend to get swarmed only briefly when they're solo, and having a couple AoE attacks would be helpful to mitigate some of the minion pests before the mob scatters to the four winds.

 

Looking at the defense, you look to have plenty of defense if you were to drop maneuvers and tactics for your buildup and Blinding powder... You'd still be in the 44%+ range without Kuji-In Retsu, which in my experience is plenty for even farming +4/8 content with a scrapper.  

 

You might want to look at your enhancement slotting too.  Your Superior Critical strikes would probably be better served in a quick attack.  The 50% to crit proc is a "set up" proc and the next attack in line will be the one that gets the Crit, not the one it's slotted into.  The -Resistance debuff from Annihilation could be slotted into Caltrops without losing any real bonus' from your sets, if you were so inclined (heck, go for the gusto and toss in some damage procs... go wild).  I have Annihilation -res on a couple of my Ninjas and it is fairly effective.  Coercive Persuasion might be a better proc to toss into Boggle, the contagious confusion would make it a pseudo AoE for a little additional clearing power.  Energy Manipulator "chance to stun" proc won't do anything in Stamina, since that's self affecting.

 

Tough and Weave are a bit mule heavy to be of much use to you.  You're going to run shy on endurance real quick as a scrapper if you are going to be running them in a fight as slotted.  If you can squeeze in some endurance reduction, you'll be far happier with the way your Scrapper will play.

Boggle being available 4.5 times as often as Concentration might argue for it over Concentration if one were considering single target only (which is what I am guessing is the the focus given Psi Blade Sweep was also not taken) given its 50% damage increase for Greater Psi Sword, but you'd still want to take it well before your last power slot, and its not like one could not have both (and Blinding Powder as you suggested). Taking Concentration would make it a natural choice for six-slotting Gaussian in, which on top of the set proc firing more reliable in than Tactics would also grant 2.5% Defense to all positional defenses.

 

Not sure I'd use Kuji-In Retsu as anything other than a mule, in which case I would not dedicate slots to it. Notably, Gift of the Ancients: Run Speed has been taken 6 times, in violation of the Rule of Five, so one of them is not doing any good anyway and the benefits of three-slotting Luck of the Gambler is minor and likely recovered by spending the slots elsewhere. 

 

As you Recovery is dangerously low, even with Seishinteki Kyoyo and presuming Tactics is only activated when facing hard to hit targets. At a minimum I'd swap out the Panacea in Health in favor of Miracle: +Recovery.

But using Confuse to help kill mobs doesn't strike me as a "Scrappy Scrapper".  Those seem more like "Dirty 'Troller tactics."  Definitely seems that there isn't going to be enough hard punching or cowbell.
