Knuckles, guns, and a question of form

So I wanted a street sweeping hero who brings justice with his fists but what I ended up with was this and I don't hate it at all. There are some thematic troubles but I can just adjust to that. A big problem is the form... lets take a look.

Vindicator: Focused Strikes (3/3)
Vindicator: Mass Destruction (2/3)
Mastery: Dexterity Mastery (1/1)
Bullet Ballet by itself is not much more interesting that other combo attacks of the same tier, but it has lots of attacks. So if these attacks go critical they do a boatload of damage. Dragon Kick, Chained Kunai and Dragon uppercut hit pretty hard, not haymaker hard but a decent percentage thereof. I think crits there will look nice as well.
Plus Bullet Ballet gives me a way to come out of block with some bite.
But that form. I was hoping that Bullet Ballet would feed sharpshooter with furious procs but this build has become melee and that's okay but what sort of form should I get with this?
The energy unlock feels a little like a cop-out, but I am not sure what else might offer synergy here. MSA might be the best I can get.
Power is a problem. Not a huge problem, but I can definitely feel it. I am not in love with the energy shield. I wanted something without a huge visible effect like Retaliation or Antagonize but I need the power inflow from the shield and energy sheath especially when anything looks at me.
Yes, I have invulnerability. This is meant to be a sturdy build.
So, what form will help this build out and is there a better power setup that Energy Shield

The build was lacking in wide AoE, so I put LT in there. Gears mostly for Dex, w/ some Con and Rec, and skips severity rating on gear when it gets Dex Mastery.
