If you are already at 50 you will be encountering KoA. And when Frosty was my only high level character I used to wonder why people made such a fuss about them-the effect was barely noticable with Ice tanker level -speed resistance.
Then there are the the Earth thorn casters...
And -speed is much more common (and dangerous) in PvP.
I really should do something about this signature.

I don't think Resist Energies is quite into "unskippable" territory yet, but I'd rank it fairly closely behind RPD and Tough Hide now, and I personally would rather take it than "Conserve Energy". Resist Elements however is still completely skippable. Fire/Cold damage is rare in PVE... and it just resists movement speed debuffs NOT recharge debuffs, which are negligable if you've got the Jump travel pool.

I gotta have both conserve and the end drain resist and I am running less toggles than you XD
I do feel that Resist Elements is still missing that X Factor (it's on tonight?) I would love some res to -Rechg in it personally, oh heck, we both know teams for most people come with a complimentary Kin so what does it matter! It could be more attractive really.
I think that Temp Protections 20% res to slow sure ain't enough and Fire likes its recharge, and if you're like me and think that a flying Firetank is a good option but don't won't to take hover cos its slow then res to -fly would be nice. The intense heat beneath me elevating my body should somehow say "Stuff you webnade" when Burn has done it to the immob in it - Makes sense to me. Res to -fly in burn makes sense as it should make the air hotter beneath you but I don't want to live like that. The fact that I can't be mezzed, toggle dropped in the air should keep my "Flame on!" and keep me buoyant anyway.

Which is true. However comparing INV's 20% resistance to Ice's 100% (60% resistance from Wet Ice + 20% from Permafrost + 20% from Energy Absorption) is a bit unfair. Even an SR Scrapper has 40% resistance, which would still be double that of INV... 
And consider that you can get exactly the same effect, permanently, PLUS recharge debuff resistance by slotting one of the new Halloween "Winter's Gift" Set IOs into a prestige sprint. (see here and here)
And yes, I'm aware that they'd stack. But to me, 20% slow resistance is NOT worth taking a power pick over. If it was 20% recharge debuff resistance, perhaps... but I'd not even take it if it was 60% or 80% runspeed resistance simply because I find runspeed debuffs to be so infrequent (Disclaimer: in PVE) and therefore of negligable effect.
Everything Maelwys says is as I would expect. People build against what they find common. Despite having Toxic resist in REl meaning it resists 3 elements as opposed to REns 2 it still has been a hard sell. Not to me though, I leveled up on Vahz being of Science origin.
On paper, with 10 around me I hate the total level of defence with which I am down with this change but I do realize that overall I am better off. The scale figure going from 0.1 to 0.1175 would balance it back to how it is in i12 with 10 around me.

You can't jump in KoA caltrops.

Knights of Artemis comprising, of course, at least 95% of the foes you'll face whilst levelling...
Even in the two or three missions you'll actually encounter those girls, their caltrop patches tend to be stacked many, many times. Given that they can be quickly stacked enough to make you crawl even in SuperSpeed (which is upwards of 600 feet per second IIRC), I'm afraid that +20% movement debuff resistance isn't going to do much to help you there. You'd be better off just saving one of those temporary power flight packs and toggling it on for the 0.5 seconds it'll take you to fly out of the patch...
