Glad you liked it.
As far as effectiveness goes, the character I was testing with had 78 Con (6167 health @ 40), 187 Int, 493 Pre, 249.2 offense (33% dmg str), and 167 defense (39% resist). AoRP gave 61% resist to self and 107% resist to the team. Redirected Force is another 20% resist in a separate layer from other resist bonuses, which can be maintained indefinitely in combat with the Arcane Circle + Support role. IDF subracts 131 (to a minimum of 1) after resists and dodge are accounted for.
Because real numbers are better than trying to make sense of stats:
Mega-Destroid deals 1124 (3095) Particle Damage to Your Ebon Sigil with Destroyer Blast. <- AoRP + Redirected Force + IDF. Player teammates can expect roughly this amount of damage reduction, if not slightly more since they'll have at least around 18-20% base resistances from gear.
Mega-Destroid deals 1331 (3026) Particle Damage to Your Hatchling with Destroyer Blast. <- AoRP + IDF. Slightly less base damage than above yet it's 200 points more damage taken.
Mega-Destroid deals 12 (269) Particle Damage to Your Hatchling with Giant Eye Lasers. <- All three buffs active again, though it's mainly IDF at work negating smaller hits.
For maximum Redirected Force uptime I would use TK Maelstrom then Dust Devil, repeating that combo only when TK Maelstrom came off cooldown which was about every 6 seconds (if you wanna get really tricky you can swap the order after the first TK Maelstrom for more Dust Devils, yes they do stack). It's important to use both as TK Maelstrom with Sentinel Mastery and the AoE DoT from Dust Devil gives you (and your team so long as they're hitting Sentinel Mastery debuffed targets too) a lot of passive healing so you can focus on maintaining Redirected Force for longer periods of time before needing to heal.
One other note, don't get hung up trying to maintain the Redirected Force damage buff stacks. The stacks will come quickly when fighting groups of enemies and when fighting bosses it's nearly impossible to maintain stacks as bosses generally don't attack fast enough and you'll likely have your hands full buffing/debuffing/healing anyway.
