Very nice build idea, Hovvever one change I vvould make it vvith Ego Storm, It has just too many problems to be for much use, At least in my tests using Echo I found so, VVith the adv it counts as a pet and thus does not trigger Sentinel Mastery (The key reason I vvould ever use it really) Outside of that you are forced to maintain it and any enemies that breaks the hold vvill cause the povver to end.
Telekinetic Maelstrom on the other hand vvill trigger Sentinel Mastery and it very easy to tap (Hovvever it does have problems on the lag front for a number of players thus using it can prove tricky)
Shadovv of Doubt (CC) is abit of a tricky one alone to hold threat vvith, At least I found it so. (The CC is only applied on Cast instead of on Tick). Have you tried looking into using a faster CC attack (Such as Telekinetic Assault or And this one I am not 100% on as I have not tried it yet but Ego Blast+Adv although broken I have heard it can act abit like Ice Blast through tapping But I have not looked into that idea myself so I am not quite sure myself)

Less important but one that could vvork for you, is changing Defiance for AoRP, VVith so many short cooldovvns MSA+Compassion should give enough Energy I think, and AoRP just alvvays seemed like the best Healing/Tank idea to me, But then again if you vvant to run in the tanking Role Defiance is most likely still your best choice.
But if you are in hybrid role (using Protector Specs) you can take Adv of the Healing bonus + that vvould give more damage in itself.

Also I vvould take those points out of Mental Leech and put them into Mental Storm, Mental Leech does tiny damage compared to Mental Storm, I really mean tiny. (about 15-17% of Mental Storm)
Shadovv of Doubt does about 5% more than Leech (vvhen looking at Single Target DPS).

Anyvvay I do hope this helps even alittle, Good luck

Alexandra.

P.s. I just had a quick look over again there and..are you aimming for PvP or PvE vvith this build?
If you are Aimming at PvP Then I am sorry I never noticed :P
