This is 33%ish defense by level 36 to all positions. Assuming just SO slotting, so there are a lot of slots to go around as the SR powers don't take a lot of regular enhancements. Take Slash, Focus, Follow Up and one of the first 2 attacks (I like Swipe's animation myself) and you have a single target attack chain by 18. I'd take 2 AoE attacks by 32 for PvE, any two really. Consider Weave, very useful to soft cap with, but if you plan to respec into IO sets you can take then. For general play I don't use Aid Self but you could work that in. With temp powers from safeguard missions I'd push the travel back a bit.
At 33% defense, one small luck will get you to the soft cap if you are fighting a tough battle, so this will do most PvE with ease, good defense debuffs can hurt though.

My Claw/SR guide . The build I describe that I used gives about 30% to defense to all positions by 36. It's a no-travel power build but still moves pretty quickly from point A to point B. I haven't included IO sets since I'm still working on those myself.
It's from issue 7 or 8 I think, but still pretty valid. No number crunching, but rather discusses my personal views and recommendations.

Here's the build I've used while leveling up. I do NOT recommend using this build directly I wanted to prove that you could hit the soft cap (45% defense) by level 36 using only a single IO, and that the build would be playable. And it was playable, and extremely durable, but those are NOT the same thing as the most FUN. The problem with my build is that I skipped some of the best attacks to get the defense that early. It also has no travel power.
Now the reason I'm posting it anyway is that the problems are very easily fixed just insert other powers as desired. In this case, I'd insert at least Follow Up and Focus, probably Shockwave. I'm a fan of delaying travel powers for a long time and making due with the temporary travel powers (let me know if this needs more explanation), so I'd probably still push a travel power off, but you don't have to. The more powers you insert, the longer the soft cap is delayed. But you don't NEED to be at the soft cap to be very survivable on a Super Reflexes, particularly since, as JAXMAN says, you can just pop a purple inspiration to make up the difference if you're in a tough fight. I don't recommend Aid Self unless you're shooting for no-inspiration challenges, as green inspirations are easier, faster, and can't be interrupted.
Oh, and I also recommend frankenslotting your attacks (let me know if this needs more explanation) some time in the 30s. I generally do it when endurance starts becoming a problem again due to all the toggles I'm adding. Sticking with just SOs when it is so cheap and easy to do better was just part of the proof of concept on this build, and not a very good idea.
