Question is, how are your.power settings set? U would suggest an elite without question. W-?A for stronger heals and dps if you chose the offensive t4 Nukara ability
Lose the eng team, it will mess with your 2x tac team cycle.
If you want a hull heal go for Aux2SIF, it only has a 15 sec cooldown and again won't mess with you 2x tac team cycle.
+1. Solid advice. Aux2SIF has a 15s cooldown, which is pretty mad. Seriously under-rated ability.
As for the core, there is no "one core to rule them all" it entirely depends on your build and power levels, but if you don't get one with "AMP" then you're doing it wrong.
If you want to tinker with your ship's power settings with different cores (including Fleet versions), engines, deflectors, shields, consoles, skills, etc., then download my Ship Power Calculator (linked in my signature). The Calc will show you what your power levels will be before you make any purchases.

Pick up 3x purple damage control doffs so you can cycle your EPtS for about 100% up time.
As for warp core I went for the elite hyper-charged (+engine and +aux) Eff, W->A, AMP, ECap and Tran
+engines because I'm cycling 2x EPtS1 so I have high shield power.
Eff adds a little bit more power.
With the T4 Nukara rep you want as much as much aux as you can and as I'm an escort I'm running max weapons power so W->A is the best choice.
AMP is awesome and with Leech 75 in all system is no problem.

It would be nice to know if this is worth the effort before I bother.

Stupidly powerful modifier is stupidly powerful.

FWIW I fly a fleet defiant aswell with a fairly similar loadout:
Fore weapons: mkxii adv fleet quantum torp / quad phaser cannons / elite fleet phaser DHCS x2
Aft weapons: elite fleet phaser turret mkxii x3
My choice of WC was this one:
Elite Fleet Reinforced Warp Core Mk XII [SEP]
[S->W] [WCap] [EWS] [SSS]
Hope this helps.
