Were I playing it I might change a couple of things, but that's more my playstyle than anything. Were I making it for my playstyle....  First, why Shielding? If you're solo defendering then it's fine, but if you're going to be in the backfield Assault offers more options for escape.  Second, you can do it with items but get some resistances because you're going to be in artillery/controller land. I'd skip the White Lotus Hinderance for Versatile Resistance.  Thirdly, why Stormsoul other than the encounter damage boost? Thematically Windsoul would give you good theme support but also give you another way to bypass the front line, leaving Armathor's Step for escape. Side note: A bit of accuracy cheese is Earthsoul + Earthshock Master Feat + Elemental Echo feat. Earthshock becomes a reliable, minor action attack that knocks prone and a d8 etc. damage and if you miss, well Elemental Echo still gives you +1 to hit, +2/4/6 damage on your standard action attack. (this is great when using the Elemental Tempest Paragaon Path, but that's not thematic). Sorry, got off topic there.  Fourth, skip the White Lotus Paragon feats and retrain out of the White Lotus feats late heroic. In LFR especially when you get to late heroic you don't use your at-wills much at all any more. They really become kind of dead weight.  Fifth, don't go character builder until updated for the new stat splits. Then go 16 post-racial Con, dump Dex down and get that Wisdom up to 15 sooner rather than later for Superior Will. You're going to be in status effect land which includes dazes early and stuns later. Your defenses need to be high because you're going to be a major sponge. That means balancing Fort and Will with Reflex. Also, I may go Host of Shields at Second level. again, you're going to be prime target for backfield fire and in a vice between the brutes and the artillery. Don't scrimp on defenses. Improved Defense should be in your feat list by Paragon.  Again, your build looks fine, if (for my tastes) rather heavy on the White Lotus stuff. I would suggest getting rid of that, especially the Paragon stuff.</blockquote>
