Hello all, just curious. As a BS/Regen scrapper, would it be bad to slot for multiple procs in an attack? Such as Scirocco's Lethal proc and Obliterations Smash proc? Is it too much lost damage or is it equalized out?

Because your attacks deal so much damage in a single burst, you'll do more damage just slotting for +dam. The easiest way to think of it is to consider the procs to be a flat amount of additional damage per attack whereas damage enhancements are percentage increases.
For Hack, here's how it would break down:
33% +dam = 112.9 * .33 = 37.357 additional damage
Touch of Death proc = 15% chance for 71.8 damage = 10.77 additional damage
Mako's Bite proc = 20% chance for 71.8 damage = 14.36 additional damage
Hecatomb proc = 33% chance for 107.1 damage = 35.343 additional damage
Each of the proc contributions remains constant for all attacks while the benefit of +dam varies from attack to attack. In general, you're best slotting +dam to 90-95% before slotting in procs (except for the AH -res proc). Whenever you get to the redzone for +dam, you're better putting in procs. ED will reduce the effectiveness of any additional +dam you put in to almost nothing.
I plan on doing this with my BS/SD. I currently have Scirocco's in my PBAOEs and it's wonderful.
I have two procs in my parry and that is always quite awesome.
I don't see where you could go wrong with procs, considering you're gonna be using those powers quite a bit.
