It took 3 of us (3 stalkers) to take him down.. I believe he has his toggles and passives.. weave and maneuvers..

Address this point for me. Don't sidestep: The devs have specifically said they know by looking at the numbers that this system will not work in PvE. How does you repeating over and over "I really want it" change that?

Basically all you've been doing is repeating yourself without coming any compelling reasons why such a radical change would improve the game.

I' pretty fixed on a regen, but still on the edge of whether to pick BS, Fire, or MA.
Which one would be the cheapest to build?

When those PvPers suggested the same changes apply to PvE because it was too easy, those same PvEers threw an absolute fit. Surprise, surprise.

Still, the benefits aren't much, and therefore outside of superteam situations you'll rarely see a blaster dip into the leadership pool for anything more than perhaps snagging maneuvers to softcap (and even that is rare). Even for perception reasons, inspiration combining makes tactics pretty superflous. It's too easy to get accuracy bonuses and emergency yellows anymore for tactics to be of much benefit. (Pretty much the reason my blasters haven't had leadership since before the toggle changes.)

TF is personal preference.........I said as much. It does have its disadvantages, and those need to be addressed. Likewise, Energy Punch's benefits need to be addressed.

As to EM Pulse......why in the world are you recommending a power, for any purpose, that you haven't taken. This is a thread to help someone, after all. I feel sorry for anyone that pops that power in at 49 expecting it to do anything but suck, simply on the advice of someone that hasn't taken it!

Your comment on Power Bolt gives me the distinct impression you have not played Energy Blast much, or at least not to the extent of being able to give someone advice on it. Even in a high recharge build, the best attack chain for the blast portion involves all three attacks. This isn't Ice, Fire, or Archery where the damage is backloaded into a faster animating tier 3. The days of advising people on skipping the tier 1 are long past, and outside of a post 50, high recharge build on certain sets, it is almost always advisable to take the tier 1.
