  EDIT: Finished testing for now..
  
  Your Build a few pointers:
  
  INT PSS - Why have you not invested in Battle of Wits Spec? This will boost your Crowd Control capacity. Why have you not taken Detect Vulnerability? This Penetration will make all your powers hit harder.
  
  Taking Manipulator Form indicates to me that you intend to be a DPS with good CC. Is this your intention?
  
  Ego Sprites - Get rid of Slave Mentality and go for Rank 3. Slave Mentality is not very useful unless fighting a boss, and even then the return value on Slave Mentality can be outdone by the ticks of Mental Leech (provided you operate in melee range of your target.)
  
  Ego Sleep seems to be your main CC power and you have taken powers to complement that. I'd get either rank 3 or Plagued with Nightmares Advantage if you plan to do a more streamlined CC experience of lock and break. (Locking them down then breaking their minds open in quick succession.)
  
  Bountiful Chi Resurgence - I'd only go for Resurgent Reiki and drop rank 2 for Ego Sleep rank increase OR advantage addition.
  
  Is there any reason why you have left out Mental Storm? It is an small AoE Paralyze power (brain-tricity I know :S) which applies an - Ego Resistance Debuff to affected targets, 6% x 4 so a full -24% resistance to Ego Damage + CoS's Penetration Values. Not to mention values from Detect Vulnerability.
  
  Here is a slightly altered version of your build.

  Vindicator: Merciless (3/3)
  Vindicator: Focused Strikes (2/3)
  Vindicator: Mass Destruction (3/3)
  Mastery: Intelligence Mastery (1/1)
  
  You could decide to go more DPS based, in which case I'd suggest Concentration form and swapping out Ego Sleep for Mental Storm.
  
  Even with this build you could easily build in Mental Storm by removing Ego Sprites.

  Thank you very much for the input. I will very likely reach out too you in the near future. I'm thinking of waiting to see what dodge changes are coming. I might have to rethink drastically.
