I'm gonna have to disagree, Crash.
The reason why his gear looks like the same as everyone else's is because it pretty much the most effective and optimized set that you can wish for the current content. Wanting to look different is one thing, which is perfectly fine in my book, but sacrificing the most effective playstyle for the sake of pursuing an exotic style/look is just falling for the "when everyone is hipster, no one will be" fallacy. People use volcanic bomber, nameless and vog-venger because it works the best from the collective experience of hundreds of users playing dozens of hours.
Vog's sword speed allows for hit and shield effectively with swords, dual low fire resist UV is the cheapest way to make him immune to fire snakes from vanaduke, the AP is the gun of choice in FSC and his choice for the shivermist in his last slot makes perfect sense, both for his goal and a wide range of contingency situations where he would need to save his group/himself while being mobbed...
The devs might hate it that we currently use only a fraction of the gear they made but IMHO, that should be remedied by adding further end-game content in which alternative sets are superior in the same way vog-venger is currently superior, not by nerfing because people wear the same gear under their costumes (which I should add, already lets you look like anything you want).

To the OP, it looks like you did you homework and went straight to the best setup currently for swords. Also, it sounds like you already know what people would say about your faust and swapping that with a divine avenger so I'll spare you that comment. Once you finish your shield, and get your bomb or not since there only needs to be one in a group, you'll be pretty much set to farm currency until whenever the devs can bring out new content or maybe just expensive costumes if that's the sort of thing that tickles your fancy =P
The only nitpick I could give you is that you'd ideally want a CTR UV on your levy blade; but that's my playstyle and you might be using it differently than I am.

I'd personally prefer a normal def UV on the Grey Owl, although whether it makes that much of a difference is debatable. Unless the ability to achieve status immunity was reinstated, then you're probably better off getting shock resist UVs on your armor pieces. If you're worried about piercing I would suggest a second set, or just a secondary shield like the new Thorn shield. The piercing sources that exist are mostly melee and thus usually pretty avoidable, unlike elemental damage which is often ranged. Hence, even outside of FSC Vog gear is very good, and why so many people run with it. I recommend a Shivermist for crowd control and a status alchemer like the Storm Driver for your non-FSC gun needs. The Argent is ok, but it suffers from mediocre DPS on constructs, which are most often the things you want to gun. Oh, and consider getting a Divine Avenger. The charge attack is fantastic, and will save you plenty of times. Lastly, you might consider swapping out Faust for the Nightblade line. I've found the heavy swords to be a bit too slow for dealing with Gremlins, but that is up to your style.
