As you set up you'll find that you're getting more end red in powers anyway.
I personally dont like many of the resistance sets and go 3 HOs in each shield on res based toons, which allows you to get more slots in other powers for lovel sets.
I'm still looking at the new melee sets and trying to decide which I like the most TBH, and dervish has fallen out of favour with me for now.
If you're a big farmer 4 slotting health with Miracle unique, miracle heal, numina unique and numina heal gives nice end and regen bonus, but at a high cost.

The three main ways of boosting endurance is what you've already mentioned.
Performance Shifter chance for endurance
Numina +regen/recovery
Miracle +recovery
If you're of Fire Armor, did you take Consume? That's an endurance recovery power which should help...

Yes I took consume and i just finished slotting all my stone melee attacks with 5 crushing impacts and a mako quad which i worked out gave me the tasty set bonus's of more accuracy and rech and still gave me amazing actual enhancement percentages, especially when a Mako Quad was added in to the equation.
I also put the full doctors wound set in to healing flames, and a force feed chance for rech+ in to fault hoping that all this extra +rech will help me with end management by having consume up practically every other mob
As soon as i've rustled up some more inf i plan to do as you 2 suggested and slot the numina +regen/recovery and miracle +recovery
thanks for your help 
If you have a bunch-o-ing I would go impervium armor in the res powers. It gives +max end and +recovery from 4 slots.
Also the new set Touch of the Nictus gives some very nice bonus's for heal sets.
So i've just got my first 50 on the red side which just to happens to be a SM/FA brute which i love to bits(when his end bars full anyway) and i was wondering if any of you forumites had any ideas for some decent sets for him
I'd suppose my priority's would be some +recovery and endurance (which i already have a little from the performance shift enhancment which works wonders but dosent do the entire job) and probably some big accuracy,rech,damage and res bonus's
keep in mind im a big farmer so what would you have me do
