I know determination helps you to execute your abilities while taking damage, but what about concentration and initiative?
Determination, Concentration, Initiative

Concentration helps you to execute abs while taking damage.
Determination lowers the amount of time that states are on you but only by low lvl chars.
Initiative helps for you're specials to hit, but only becomes active when Desperation is used (so i was told.)

That is no longer the case. It was silently changed, sans patch notes, some time before the Vector Olympics. It works 50v50 now, at least in what I've noticed in sweeping the duration of daze/stagger/off balance.
Ah, but does it cut down states enough to warrent equipping? Besides, I thought 9mmfu said it didn't affect, or it wasn't designed to affect Daze/Stagger and Off-Balance or has that changed too?
Ah Bay i hadn't relised that. Gonna need to play about with it, see if it is worth loading again or not (really liking wdd though ha ha)
Yeah Croe it does affect states. Other week there i was fighting against a mach and a lowbie zion decided to help me out. Noticed the states were only staying for 1 or 2 rounds instead of 3 (i think, might be 4 but that might be just with gun states.)
Still don't really see the point in it though as if it does cut it down to 2 rounds, you're opponent might still manage to get off a 2 state special and it won't really affect the smgist's outside interlock. Gah hard choice, a move or Determination ahhh lol

Standard state duration is 8 seconds.
