An offline defrag is the last thing you want to do if you suspect your database has corruption in it. If you suspect corruption, build another server, move your data to that and then figure out what caused the corruption in the first place. When you run a database utility against a db that is potentially corrupted, the risk of not being able to mount your stores is greatly increased.
