So I’ve been playing for a little while with a Rifle/FT control build and really enjoying it in PvP and PvE. However, I’m about to start gathering my exotics and I can’t really decide which ones I need. I know I need plenty of precision, but beyond that I’m a little at sea. My skills benefit from both cond damage and power, and with high precision and some skills with good base damage, it seems like it would be a waste not to get some +crit damage. At the same time, this isn’t meant to be a glass cannon build, so some defensive stats ought to be in order. So right there that’s like 5 or 6 stats I’m looking for. My past experience in MMOs and RPGs tells me that spreading myself thin like that is not a good plan. Therefore, I’m hoping you guys can help me narrow it down. What stats do I actually need, and which can I afford to forgo?

For reference, below is the build I’ve been using, including my attempt to plan a gear set. I do change some traits and skills around; Fireforged Trigger, Rifle Mod, and Go For the Eyes vie for the Master tier slot in Firearms, while I sometimes drop Energized Armor for Cloaking Device or Power Shoes. I also sometimes use Elixir B instead of Elixir C. Sigils float between Fire, Earth, and Strength.
