If it's only for PvE, then w/e, I wouldn't even care, plus, anything can be good. (unless you're trying to become an AV hunter.)
If it's for PvP, then go for +Dmg -> +Recharge -> +HP.
Try getting your S/L defense north of 30% and work on your HPs. This will make you a *very* tough scrapper, as opposed to the rather squishy one you are now. And if you're a typical, non-IO'ed F/F scrapper... well, you're sorta squishy--I sure as hell was before IO'ing out. My F/F scrapper has around 40% atm (will get to 45% by 50) and he can pretty much handle anything that's not Psi or toxic. In fact, if he chews a small purple (just combine everything into purples as they come in for a steady supply), he can easily tank an 8-man invinc mission spawn.
As for recharge, it's obviously nice to have, but other than getting HFs to recharge quicker, it doesn't really do too much for you unless you're going for one of the higher end DPS chains. I find Incin > Scorch > Cremate > Scorch (which requires some recharge, but not a ton) is more than good enough, and w/BA & FSC maxed out, your offensive output is already ridiculous.

So, taking Dave's suggestion, how does this build look to someone who plays fire/fire? Thanks in advance for any help.

An Offensive Guide to Ice Melee
I am about to start outfitting my lv 42 fire/fire scrapper. I am really enjoying him. What set types should I emphasize---recharge, defense ( if so, to what? ), resistance ( if so, to what? ), regeneration, damage, something else?
Thanks in advance for any help.
