So here's the final build I've been working on for weeks. Laser Sword has been very challenging to build around and I've been using Gravitar as a live testing ground.
The biggest issue is Laser Sword's hungry energy usage. This build seemed to have more than enough for a Rank 3 so I went with Rank 2 & Particle Acceleration. At 23 to 25 energy cost per slash per 0.5 seconds, it's a huge drain. So by going super high CON provided energy, higher HP, higher healing through Sentinel Mastery and Resurgence. Defiance was almost a complete refill of the energy bar which is why I add on extra END from talents to absorb it all.
Compassion seems like an odd choice but there wasn't much available for Forms with the SS chosen. At 8 stacks, it's only about 25% extra additive damage. But it did boost up Resurgence's heal to over 10K and that's at Rank 2. With Sentinel Aura, the stacks are pretty much automatic.
Force Shield was the last piece. Great for energy when you are being swarmed, not so good with just Gravitar but necessary nonetheless for extra energy.
I probably will run out of energy at times so I took Revitalize and Exhausting Strikes to make the most of the times I will use Energy Builder (I took this idea from Paragon/Wesley's build, thanks!) So far against Gravitar, I've not had energy run out often (probably because you wind up blocking/knocked/held so many times) but if it gets bad you can swap Particle Acceleration for Rank 3).
Crashing Wave Kick is the main stun power that activates Sentinel Mastery heals for you and your team (Mighty Leap is the other). Added Ebb and Flow because with fast hitting Laser Sword or Skarn's Bane I can get Dodge/Avoidance to 40%/50% sometimes. That's why I skipped Dodge/Avoidance in gear and just put in more HP (plus with Masterful Dodge, I have perma dodge for almost 15 sec out of every 36 sec).
So I figure do two combos of Laser Sword to 1 CWK and I should be good for heals and dodge/avoid. And I hit Skarn's whenever I need to debuff their energy forms.
This was actually my leveling build (after a cheap retcon at level 14).
Combat Experience
Qwyjibo -- no worries at all
Vikorin (elite) -- should be easy, beat him with lesser builds
Gravitar -- only time she got him was lag ignoring his block in a yellow bubble. During her first 2 bars, I never even block unless I need energy. Just eat the 5K hits and heal it back up in 6 seconds.
Should be good for other celestials types, got Skarn for debuffing and I can keep my team healed too.

CON's fuel my fire is 6% of 139 Max Energy so maybe 8-9 energy every 3 seconds??? Kinda weak for energy plus INT's specs are pretty good for raising HP +20% and the energy return.
