You don't need more than 45% defense. In Incarnate content, you can rely on small inspirations to get very close to 59% defense, but you won't need it most of the time. There is usually someone with a defense aura running.
Kinetic Combat is an expensive and bad choice for positional defense. Use Touch of Death if you need Melee Defense from a set bonus.
Dodge, Lucky, and Evasion are over-slotted. The powers only give a small amount of defense, so don't waste more than 1-2 additional slots on them. I recommend slotting those with 2 generic defense IOs.
Tough should be slotted better. Things will hit you through your defense and Tough will help reduce the most common damage types.
Hover can be used as a defense toggle. It wasn't on when I imported your build, but Maneuvers was.
Quickness is a must-have for Super Reflexes. It counts as two purple sets' worth of global recharge and doesn't need any slots.
Look for other Kinetic Melee threads to find out what the best attack chain is. You may need more recharge bonus to perform it.
Here is a build template that should help you get to the soft cap more efficiently. The levels you take the powers isn't as important as the set bonuses and toggles. In your case, take Hover instead of Combat Jumping. They both give about the same defense.

The new build looks much better. There are a few things I would change, but they won't affect the build much if you choose not to.
It looks like you chose to use Hover in combat. Slot Swift and Quickness with flight speed enhancements.
You don't need the psionic defense bonus from 6 Scirocco's. You could use the slot elsewhere, put another proc in Burst, or enhance Burst better with something from another set.
The 5% resistance to toxic from 6 Hecatomb's isn't very useful. Again, you could do something else with the 6th slot.
AoE knockbacks tend to move critters out of AoE patches your teammates have already placed. They also tend to scatter enemies so that nobody else can effectively use AoEs. I don't know if I would even take Repulsing Torrent. It can be useful if your team is having a hard time with a spawn, or it can be spammed if a spawn is up against a wall or corner. If you want to keep it as a set mule, consider removing the proc. Alternatively, you could take Energy Torrent from Energy Mastery. That one is a knockdown instead of a knockback and does almost as much damage as Repulsing Torrent.
i 6-slotted both those powers to add in the procs, and i didnt really have any where else to put them, and i have taken repulsing torrent for concept reasons.
You could take out another enhancement and have a second proc in the powers mentioned previously. I would take out the damage enhancement because the powers are at the ED cap. Without looking at it, I think it results in more overall damage due to the procs.
No idea if this build is any good or if the power sets are any good lol.
