I question the value of Medicine and Physical Perfection on a /WP. You'd get much more out of Fighting IMO.
It's also probably not necessary to put the Achilles proc in all your attacks (especially the AoEs), since it doesn't stack. You'd be better off replacing some of them with damage procs.

Medicine is more for RP, and I work with free players a lot so the rez is nice. Physical Perfection gave me spare accuracy/reduced end use, and wouldn't fighting force me to un-draw my weapon?|

I'm fairly new at the IOs, any suggestions?
You can use the craftable temp res, and save a power, or 3. I craft the res, healing, recovery serum, backup radio, and power analyzer temps on every character since they came out.
At level 47, you should be in range of incarnate powers (45-50), I'd rather have rebirth than aid-self, considerably more mileage for the investment.
Here's a BS conversion of the (Kat) build I use. It's easier to give you this, than to give the 20+ ways and reasons I'd change your build. It boils down to Softcap ML/FCEN, Tactics is cheaper than FA, and Leaderships helps yourself while you help others.
You can cut the Hamis from DA and IW. But you need the Enzymes in the Maneuvers, Weave, and Heightened Senses in order to maintain soft-cap to FCEN. Softcap to ML/FCEN with 2 DA/Perry.
Add a PvP, and swap a couple of sets and the same basic build will softcap to ML/FCEN with 1 DA/Perry. I decided I'd live with the small loss of offense, use 2 DA/Perry, and save the 3 billion that last IO would cost.
I have a shadow meld version for soloing, but I've come to prefer the vengeance variant for teaming, which I do more of than soloing. My original build was the solo version, I had not expected to like the vengeance version so much. Just another pleasant surprise to playing sword/willpower. Regen is still my first love, but I'm really enjoying WP.
I use Spiritual Alpha T3/T4, Rebirth T3/T4, Reactive Radial Fire Dot T3/T4, Void Radial -damage T3/T4, Warworks Core T3/T4.
Clockwork are also a good choice for Lore, as are Cimerorans, and several others: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showp...7&postcount=26

I notice you've done completely away with travel powers, I was really enjoying my teleport. Also I'm not as worried about defense because I run with a tank constantly, I'm more concerned with pumping out pure damage.
Haven't used a travel power since i9.
The build as-is is capable of the top damage ST chain. For AoE you'll want to add in FS.
For damage, swap tactics for Flashing Steel. You lose to-hit, a tad in defense, perception and confusion protection, but gain more AoE. Add a PvP IO and you can re-cap defenses. Add a couple of purple sets to fix accuracy back up, and get the AoEs up more often.
If you really want more Offense, I'd say go with Sword/FA, Sword/Sheild, -> War Mace/Sheild <-, War Mace/FA, SS/FA.
It took some work, but a friend from my SG helped me, can anyone here help me make any needed changes before I use up a respec please?
