Nice guide. Very helpful to me in developing my now lvl 34 Elec/elec.
One Important (IMO) point: This build is slot-intensive. Unlike most brutes and scrappers, this build has 4 shields that all provide substantial value (not including the 38 uber-shield) as well as lots of helpful powers like lightning reflexes (LR) and conserve power. Could you skip stamina? You could but I think it's a weaker build without it. Hasten is also very tempting, with this build and Tough is also very helpful if you use Lightning Field regularly, meaning 2 more powers sucked up.
The good news with this build is a travel power is easier to avoid than with just about any other, saving you a power (or possibly 2 if you're not a hasten/SS person). Getting Swift, coupled with LR, sprint, and picking up as many of the temp-power travel powers as you can and using them sparingly once you have LR (which BTW, speeds up the temp powers) does a pretty good job of geting you around. I slotted sprint once to add a little zip and find I get to destinations only a little slower than an SSer (unless its a really long way). Also, since your status protection is linked with being on the ground, a ground-based travel plan is a good one. You even have a teleporting attack that can be used to get over obstacles.
Is this the end all be all? Duh! Of course not. However, its an option that works better with this build than basically any other so I thought was worth mentioning.

Uumm...ELA only has 3 shields (again...not counting Power Surge)...Charged, Conductive, and Static. The only other toggle is Lightning Field...which is not a shield...but a PBAoE damage aura.
This pretty much falls in line with Dark armor in that it has 3 shields and one damage aura. Dark Embrace, Murky Cloud, and Obsidian Shield being the shields...and Death Shroud being the damage aura.
