My GWF build (watcha think?)

So, as a Beta tester i would like to post what i consider "my best build" for PVE for GWF.
so lets start with a half-orc with max str and balanced dex/con
scores at lvl 60:
Str:26 / Con:17 / Dex:19
i would prefer crits, but a little bit more HP would help a lot, and can't live without it (and armor pen)

Powers:
Class features:
-Steel blitz
-Steel defense (thinking about changing it to weapon master)

Encounters:
-Indomitable battle strike
-Restoring strike
-Takedown

At wills:
-Weapon master's strike (main)
-Wicked strike (rarely use it)

Dailies
-Slam (main)
-Crescendo (rarely use it)

Feats:
Heroic:
3/3 - Diciple of strength
3/3 - Endless assault
3/3 - Constitution focus
3/3 - Devastation critical
3/3 - Toughness
3/3 - Armor especialization
2/5 - Steely defense

Paragon:
5/5 - Great weapon focus
5/5 - Staying power
5/5 - Rentless battle fury
5/5 - Battle awareness
5/5 - Student of the sword
5/5 - Unstoppable recovery
1/1 - Destroyer's purpose


Equips:
Basicaly you want to focus Power, critical and defense, nothing special.


What do i do?
-I normally start battles with more than 5 enemies with Slam+Unstoppable and hit them to death with master's strike, and so, i recover my action points with indomitable, so i can combo that again.
- my indomitable crits for around 10K~14K dmg (at 6.8K GS).
- what i consider my best combo is activating unstoppable with slam, reason is: i get 25% power + att speed also invunerable to damage for 3 secs, aaand also recovering 5% of my max health (that's around 1.2K hp) and dealing damage in area.

hmmm, that's it, sorry by my bad english, it's not my native language, hope it's usefull to you, and hope to get some tips to make this build better.
TY for reading.

    Sorry for double, but no answer? :(
    i would like to know if the build is good. One "it's nice" or "you suck" would be enough!

    I'm still new with GWF, so I don't know if it's good or not. It seems in line to the other guides out there though, so it's probably ok.

    Build looks decent. Id do have a suggestion though:

    If you're intending to make heavy use of Slam, consider finding some points to put into Unstoppable Action (increased AP gain while unstoppable is active) and use any encounters not on cooldown while Unstoppable is active. This results in very rapid AP gain.

    you dont want those spells in pve

    roar
    come and get it
    daring shout or IDBS

    slam and spinning strike no reason to use crescendo when a full spinning strike will do comparable if not more damage but potentially to a much larger number of enemies

    class feature steal blitz and destroyer you dont need steel defenses in pve

    you want to use wms on only 2 mobs or so and wicked strike on more. wms only to debuff

    but i do not use roar, come and get it, nor daring shout.
    IDBS is usefull to regain AP, only for that.

    as i said, im not using crescendo, since slam do more damage (more power while in it + unstoppable = more damage, even if it's against only one target).

    yeah, im thinking about changing steel defenses, i use it to save my soul, it saved me LOTS of times.

    i think WMS hits faster then WS, that's why im using it.

    WS can be very effective for crowd clearing when properly feated; this does require a feat that is deep into the Instigator tree (group assault) though,which makes it not very viable for your build.

    Yes, but my main objective was dealing damage, so i gone deep into the destroyer tree.
    in fact i could have had used more points in attack/damage, but i prefered to invest in a little defense, i'm a melee after all.
