Well, I prefer Wrath over Malediction, and that might explain why i prefer Rain of Blood, Thunder of Judgement and Lightnings Revelation as encounter powers.
I particularly dislike Summons of Justice, at the very least switch that out for Whispers of Defeat.
You are not a defender, you should have no desire to pull multiple enemies closer.
On a more general note, please be aware that everything you choose is unfriendly. At the same time you yourself are also squishy, so party resources will have to be carefully dvivided. Best advice I can give you and your allies is to be very aggressive.
Noticed you picked up two methods of sorta healing yourself (plus being a dwarf, of course). If your allies do their jobs, you should not be targeted as much as you seem to fear. Perhaps as a U6 you should check out Symbol of Hope.
Instead of Torc of Justice, perhaps Amulet of Life is something for you? I think Torc of Justice is not all that great, given you will rarely (never?) attack a single target, and do you really want to give up your one rare to a neck item?
Lastly I would strongly suggest the accurate superior staff feat.

I dislike all your encounter powers, your D5, D9, U10, most of your items, and the hafted defense feat.

Subtle.
Not incorrect, though.

Thunder of Judgment and Rain of Blood are very strong choices, even without the Wrath riders. Lightning's Revelation does run on mostly the rider though.
Demand Justice for the U6 is pretty sexy, and it's a very flexible power.
Solid Footing should probably go, unless you're playing in a very specific theme campaign, it just won't come up often enough to be worth a feat.
This is CharOp. We not only assume block-of-tofu monsters, but also block-of-tofu DMs.
One reach cheese'd threatening reach Spiked Chain shuts down any non-teleporting quarterback.
You're already refluffing, what not refluff to something that doesn't suck?

I've decided subtlety is just not fun

It's mostly for when I take Keeper of the Nine next level so I can ignore the difficult terrain I'm making, but I could probably take something else while I don't have it.
As for the rest of the topic, I'll look at my options and see what changes to make.

Since you don't have a credible MBA, there's no need to wield your staff in two hands. So you can be a shield dwarf and use a light shield, to fill in the gap to AC/ref once you get rid of hafted defense. Or just go invoker|cleric, and MC Wizard if you really want to keep rituals.
