i can only see that build being hard to drop unless i was mastermind/corrupter/dominator and some brutes from a villains point of view and if i was a stalker id be looking at other ATs to take out mainly.

Meh, a coordinated multiple Stalker attack can easily take it out. Too bad the words Stalker and coordinated are hardly ever in the same sentence though, so there's not that much chance of it actually happening.
I've always found that being a certain AT no matter slotting, or powersets gives the best protection in PVP. As a Tank most people don't even bother to go for you nowadays, unlike the way it was before I7. Bit boring to be honest.
Oh Shannon comeonnn. With an attack chain of BU > FA > Siesmic Smash > Heavy Mallet > Stone Mallet > Siesmic Smash and finally another Heavy Mallet dropped Shin Kage. And he's one of those untouchable Energy/Energy Stalkers with off the chart defences. Even got Stone Fist at the ready for any lurking -rchg. debuffers. Talkless of Icicles running too.
And yes, with Hibernate > Hoarfrost > Aid Self > Aid Self > Aid Self > Hibernate > Hoarfrost > Aid SElf etc. I am indeed be hard to drop. I hunt stalkers for toe-to-toe face off's mainly. You're more likely to find me in PvE than PvP anyway.
You never played a high level Stone Melee Shannon? People often underestimate it, especialy when compared with Super Strength. The two melees really are quite equal in sheer damage output. You'll see if you have a look at your Hero Planner. Energy Melee could actually be the bestest choice what with Energy Transfer's 
. But years ago, when I made this tank, I chose Stone for concept reasons.

With that you dropped a stalker and as i said if i was a stalker i wouldnt bother going for you or any tanker really. Playing other ATs i could debuff and/or stay at range or as a brute get bored fast with you going into hibernate.

Rage can stack and energy lacks -fly hurl in itself so i am not keen on it.
He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.
For PvP imo you should drop dmg and endrdx slots from icicles (i would drop icicles myself, but it's just a matter of opinion), and 1-2 ToH buffs from BU. I'd get tactics and drop body epics (that way you would be able to see a stalker with hide+stealth in sirens too) for the Ice ones (ranged -speed -rech attacks that DO deal real dmg is much a better reward IMO), 2 Slow slots hit the slow cap on chilling embrace, but just 1 and any other ice attack stacking would do that anyway. I'd pick aid self too.

It isnt high burst admittedly and i dont know but i doubt its enough to always interrupt someone from using their aid self.

interesting point, its good to slow even though you may miss with /ice attacks or even /stone as pious is.

I thought tactics was +per and +tohit too. Admittedly FA's numbers are higher, but on the other hand tactics is not that end heavy, and u can get it before lv30, in sirens. Besides, you can get other epics than the body one.

I hope he wouldn't miss much with tactics and some acc SO's (+BU many times) tbh. And yes, pious is /stone, but I meant epic attacks if he got Ice epics
You know what, no, but thank you DB.
It looks like a build that cant kill anything in pvp to me and with so few attacks the tohits moved to become accs may actually offer better dps by way of complete chance of hitting.
