I only contradict, because you seem to ignore all other aspects of what other sets can bring to the table. I simply provided an appropriate response, stating clear reasonses as to why they were such. I'm not malicious, and think its juvenile to block someone or give them a bad reputation simply because they have a different view that is different from your own where the information is sound.
I did not contradict the benefits of dark melee, not by a long shot. But unless you consdier nothing from elec melee, and only that dark melee has siphon life, and elec doesn't then the thread will not achieve anything.
I do not intend to make enemies, nor should voicing an opinion ever do so for anyone. I like a good argument, and backing up my opinions, but only if both sides are actually accepting everying being laid out in the context. Its all about weighing out the benefits to each, and for what you're doing, seeing which fits that niche the best.

I don't post much here aside from an occasional sarcastic quip, but I read from time to time.
I have no idea where you come up with your numbers but they don't match any of mine.
As an example:

Slotted true grit/deflection are around 17%ish resistances. Also factor in 13.1% hp from set bonuses.

I didn't get any extra resistances in my build. True grit is 6 slotted with Numina's and Deflection is 6 slotted with Red Fortune both for the defense set bonuses. There wasn't any room to get extra resists and soft cap too. I did get a few extra health bonuses but no where near 13.1%.
I also have to say that people that build and play the way you reccomend are the reason I solo most of the time. All brute force and IOs and no skill or finesse.
I don't like to get defeated. If a team gets me killed 3 times on a mission or a task force I usually get mad and bail out and won't even log into CoH for a day or 2 after that.
I team with M_K on Justice and a couple weeks ago we were teamed with a level 50 Elec/Shield brute on an ITF. 36 month vet badge and a set bonus list that was triple or longer than his powers list.
He was a swaggering over aggroing kind of guy and his build and play style was all about him. Had nothing to do with the team. Only the glory for him and the team had to revolve around him. 6 times during that ITF he over aggroed and got himself killed leaving all us squishies (I was on my dominator) with a swarm of angry mobs bearing down on us.
M_K was on his little level 48 Fire/Fire tank that I know has only like 6 lines of set bonuses. I have no idea how he did it but he picked up the aggro all 6 times and kept the team alive long enough for us to get the aggro back under control.
I've seen him repeatedly do the things that you say are "the wrong way" or "not the best way" to do things and survive and win and keep his teammates alive while doing so.
You are pretty much accusing him of deducting rep from you but I doubt he did for 2 reasons. That's not his style and I know 2 people that did deduct rep.
Bottom line is that I've seen him do what he says he does. His advice is good and I've taken it on several occasions and never regretted it. Your numbers never seem to match up with the reality of what I see in game and for that reason (at least for me) your advice is suspect.
