And I am still confused and curious at how regen is at level 50 number wise? With IOs and the such, do they heal faster? Are they able to take alot more damage like Willpower? The reason I am asking is I have a level 50 I haven't played since issue 11 and would like to if I IO them out, will I see a difference?
Please note: I did make notes at the suggestions from the guide.

If you're going to IO out a */regen, what you get is going to be heavily dependent on what set bonuses you're aiming for. While I haven't read EvilGeko's guide, I do know that, if you aim for loads of +recharge, it will play pretty much exactly the same as a non-IO'd */regen, except with a faster succession of click powers. If you go for +def, it'll play pretty close to basic */regen as well with the exception that you're just clicking less often (or clicking just as often but fighting harder enemies). If you go for both, you'll be able to click in faster succession while having less need to click.
Numbers-wise, it's heavily dependent on player skill. If you're a player that can predict incoming damage and knows which clicks to use when, you'll get a lot of mileage out of IO'ing out your */regen. If you're not (or would just prefer to have a "set-it-and-forget-it" style character), you're not going to like what it turns into.
Recharge is the easiest one to go for, soft-capping is a little tougher but doable from what I have read.
Perma or really close to perma dull pain...reconstruction up more along with IH and MoG.
I usually aim for +rech with my regens.

Really should address him as Evil Gecko or EG. The name is not a coincdence

From what I could tell, the only way to softcap */regen was with either Kat/* or BS/* because of Parry/DA. I'm pretty sure that it's impossible without it.
mmm, if you can get about 20% defense against most things you're usually pretty solid. Your secondary should pull you through everything else. It is much easier with broadsword/katana though, and I still think +rech is probably better both for killing faster and living longer. If you can do both that's just gravy.

Ahh, the good old days. WHat ever happened to Geko anyway?
Willpower has more passive regen than Regen does. Who thought that was a good idea?
Can we get a fix for Energy Melee instead of more new sets?
so a few people have already mentioned the different approaches.
On mine I used IO bonuses for extra regen and HP, with integration running and using ingame numbers, it's over 4% regen, which is a full heal almost every 20 seconds or so.
It's not a high cost build, and I'm sure I could get more from him. And then there are still the wonderful fallbacks of Reconstruction Dull Pain and MoG.
(BTW, if you haven't played your Regen in that long, MoG is now a definite must have, no crash, an End buff, and instant Res cap = pure awesome)
So yeah, the heal rate is awesome.
(even without IOs and set bonuses it is over 3%, or around 30sec for a full heal)
But it doesn't matter if you can heal 2200HP in 20 secs if you get hit for 2201 by an alpha, which is where Willpowers other bonuses will help you out, of course, it doesn't have a heal for when you get in trouble.
Short story, yeah, IO your Character out, it will make a huge difference,
Don't go overboard on price, but the Regenerative tissue and Numina's uniques are important (and the two most expensive IOs in the aforementioned build)
And I'd say make Regen, HP and Heal bonuses your priority, with Recharge coming next,
