Might I suggest you use the Search feature, for much has been said about this topic.
I really should do something about this signature.
Elec will more than likely make it across to tanks at some point via power proliferation however its the general consensus that elec armour needs some work before its fit for any AT other than a brute (and even on them its not great)
i don't see what's so wrong seeing elec melee in a scrapper, it only makes things more fun 
.
I don't think any one said there was anything wrong with elec melee its a great set. Its elec armour that has problems
Elec Armor is very good, I'm not derailing the topic but I fail to see where the weakness is?
It's shields, in my opinion, have the highest res values obtainable bar 'Dark Armor' that can be easily achieved. Easily achieving an average of 41% across the board bar toxic. ( Maxed out Energy resistance, which is nice. )
It has +20% Recharge, always good.
It has a great global mez protection covering all of the most common mezes in PvE. You could argue it doesn't protect against Fear; Confuse; Placate but theres barely a fingerful of foes that can do that.
Combining the use of 'Power Sink' & 'Conserve Power' you hardly have to worry about your endurance. Always a great relief. I made a quick build that had 'Power Sink' at 20s.
It has a 3minute 'God Mode/Panic Button' adding 50% global resistance to all, bar psionic. A 2 1/2 minute downtime with an easy 345s recharge.
Oh and the Tier 9 power looks sweet.
Personally I think Elec' Armor is almost too good.
What are you looking at? 
On-topic, I would love to see Elec' Armor on a tanker set. I'd roll it like a boiled egg.

In simple terms: no heal.
For extended suvivability you need to be able to heal/regenerate damage faster than you are taking damage.
For a brute this doesn't matter so much - you kill things quickly, before they kill you. And both of these:

help a brute to kill stuff quicker.
However on a tanker niether feature is particularly useful, since it's not your job to kill stuff, and without a heal your green bar will run out long before your blue bar.
On a scrapper, Electric Armor would be just about passable, but an electric armor tanker would be gimped even worse than electric armor stalker.

It lacks pretty much any form of damage mitigation you have no defence so most attacks hit you you have no self heal or increased HP regeneration so you have no way of gaining back lost HP
On a brute the set just works but its far from perfect and many players take aid self or weave to off set the huge no defence no hp recovery holes
now transfer the set to other ATs we can already see that it dose not work well for stalkers there low HP even at 50 meaning they notice that 20% of damage that gets through the resistance.
On a tank yes you would have far more HP to start with and be able to achieve higher resistance values without out side buffs but you are expected to take more damage and eventually your HP would be chipped away and you wouldn't have the luxury of being able to disengage from the fight to recover
the set could maybe work on scrappers as they have the high damage output and could make good use of the constant endurance recover and increased attack rate but even then i'm not sure how good they would do as they wouldn't have the high res values of brutes.
With recently gaining my 2nd extra slot i decided to roll another tank, gleefully rubbing my hands at the excitement of an electro tank, to be dissapointed that the electric melee and defence sets are not available to heroes!
is there any chance we can have this at some point?
