My personal recommendation, I would replace both V polarities with either one D and one -, two D, or two -, whichever suits your playstyle. Furthermore, I recommend filling those slots in with mods that can either increases survivability (Vitality, Steel Fiber, Fast Deflection, Redirection, Rush, etc.), energy pool (Flow), energy reduction (Streamline), or power range (Stretch).

Against high level enemies (lvl 60 to 100, I currently never went beyond lvl 100) Slash Dash enhanced with Continuity and Focus could not touch any shielded Corpus' health, and can no longer outright kill regular infested and grineers in one go. You might then result to Radial Javelin, but since Radial Javelin only hits limited number of enemies at the cost of 100 energy while heavy units are spawning en masse, it will greatly lose its effectiveness as a crowd dispersing tool. In the end, you will end up relying heavily on using Radial Blind, which I believe to be Excalibur's best ability since it provides you and your teammates about 12 seconds room to breathe, regroup, and execute.

Despite these fact however, I for one believe that all of Excalibur's ability are incredibly useful. So no matter what your build is, always keep all four of Excalibur's abilities in your deck. You never know when your group needs your Radial Javelin, or Slash Dash damage assist against crowds once their own abilites are not strong enough to hold them all back, or even revives which in this case you might want to use Super Jump in conjunction with Slash Dash if you are too far away.

Focus and Continuity shines the most when used on power intesive frames, their effects are even more prevalent if those frames has abilites that allows them to deal damage over time. So unless your frame is power intesive and can dish out DOT, Focus and Continuity is best replaced with other mods.
