Current FOTM Fed Tac high DPS PVE ship and builds?

I've been a loyal Fed Tac Escort captain and love my Fleet Defiant very much but alas time for a change has come. While I am unwilling to cave to the "do-over" philosophy of repeating all my accolades, reputations and whatnot to make a DPS god (aka Romulan), I am willing to give up the death grip I've had on my Defiant all this time and ... change.
EC, Fleet Marks and Fleet gear, Lobi and Rep Marks, ZEN are of no concern so please feel free to make any recommendations as if you could shop till you dropped.
Basically I'm asking ... "if price were no issue, what would you build to create a kick TRIBBLE really high DPS Fed Tac build?"
I'm open to any advise on ships, gear and skill builds ... Yes I know this is might be considered lazy asking you to do the work for me but truly I have difficulty keeping up with the gear changes and subsequent math involved to even approach min/maxxing.
Think of it this way ... if you got stuck with me in an Elite STF run, how would you want to see me built/geared. My flying and combat judgment are pretty good IMHO, but my current Defiant build is only seemingly putting out around 7K DPS. I gotta do better than that for you and for me.
Many thanks to anyone/everyone that provides feedback. Cheers!

So true ... and appreciate you sharing the Kumari build.
I'm not going Rommy so I'm committed to staying Federation.
I use a fleet assault cruiser and hit 15k dps with it.
AP advanced fleet beam arrays and KCB with assimilated module, nukara universal, zero point, plasmonic leech (very important) 2pc Borg deflector/engine with elite shield/warp. Couple resist+hull hp engi consoles and one RCS, one science flow caps/-threat/+hull proc, full AP spire crit consoles. 3 purple techs.
Run at least one BFAW, TT, APB, EPTW/EPTS, Polarize hull, target weapon sub, DEM, RSP, and 2 copies of A2B.
Run human BOFF for space traits and make sure to max flow capacitor for the leech.
Enter combat? Activate EPTW/APB/APA/FOMM/FAW/TT/RSP/DEM then A2B. When EPTS comes off shared CD from EPTW, hit it and your 2nd copy of A2b. Repeat. Use hull heals as needed but before you hit a2b, and use TWS instead of FAW on single hard targets to reduce their damage to you.
Enjoy!
The pick of the bunch that I've seen:
- AP/Rom Plasma BFAW Avenger Battle Crusier (get the Fleet one over the C-Store, or if you have more than 1 Federation character, get the C-Store one for account unlock and then you only need 1 FSM for the fleet version). Some folk run A2B, some don't.
- Kumari (as posted above)
- JHAS (though not sure if any are still available)
- AP/Rom Plasma BFAW Jem'Hadar Dreadnought Carrier, with elite JHAS pets if you can get them.
That's off the top of my head... I don't promise that the builds I linked are optimal, as I don't run them, but that's what I've gleaned so far.

I'm sure there are fed builds out there that can top that, but I have yet to see one; they are few and far between.
Could you please post your Keybinds so that we may see an example of what you are saying. I am very intrigued by what you are saying with the cannon cycle being interrupted.
Thanks in advance
Strange. It's supposed to happen only with deflector abilities and fire on mark.
1 Fleet AP DHC, 1 Fleet AP DBB, 1 Experimental Proton, 1 Grav Torp
2 Fleet AP Turrets 1 Kinetic Cutting Beam
1 Fleet RCS with Res all
2 Neutronium
Borg Module
Mk12 Shield Generator
Particle Stabilizer
3 AP MK12 Consoles
1 Proton console with AP modifier
CMDR - TT - CRF1 - BOL3 - APO3
LTC - BOL1 - CRF1 - APB1
Ens - TS1
Lt - EPtS - A2B
Lt- HE - TSS
Devices
RMC - ENg/AUx batts or Weapon/Aux Batt
Full Dyson rep Set minus WC
Fleet Warpcore with Amp
Bonus Powers
Photon Barrage
Cascading Tertryon
DOFFS
Purple Conn that shortens Attack Pattern CD
Purple Conn that shortens TT CD
Blue Weapon Doff for shield Penetration (all I can afford)
Purple Warp Core doff that scrubs debuffs on use of Emergency powers
the other two I forget but the ship is still under construction.
Reliable for 50-60K crits.
I'm presently planning to try the recommended changes to my Fleet Defiant as well and build an entirely new Fleet Avenger Beam build.
While I love the fighter jocky feel of my Defiant, I do miss the deliberate muscle feel of a capital ship and I think the Avengre will bring that back nicely.
