It cannot stack from the same caster, and imho isn't worth it in an AoE because on a team you are likely to have either enough damage already, or enough debuffs from elsewhere.
The best place is your fastest cycling attack, so it has plenty of chances to go off against an AV where it will help the most (Against even a boss the 20% -res would be hardly noticed).
Personally though I wouldn't slot it at all, I think you are better off with a damage proc instead.

That was my thought, hence it was put into Bolt. For a solo build, the chance for damage would be better, but this is for teaming, and I think 20% -res against an AV or EB or what have you will serve better, as it increases the entire teams damage against that foe, instead of just my damage. Combined with the 13.5% damage my team will get from my Assault, this can make it much easier to take down foes. Thanks for the input, though, didn't know whether or not it could stack with itself (from same caster).

Just my opinion, feel free to disregard...
I have a Human PB build that's mainly a support-blapper type of build. Assault/Maneuvers/Tactics, Glowing Touch, and a couple of the shields. That said, I only have one slot available for the -Res Proc from Achilles Heel. Would it be best placed in Luminous Detonation, Solar Flare, or one of the single target attacks, namely Gleaming Bolt or Gleaming Blast? My current Mid's build has it in Bolt, figuring that by firing it so often, I have a high chance of it firing and potentially stacking (if the proc can stack, that is) against AVs where the -res would be most helpful. But I wonder if I'd be helping my team more by putting it into an AoE and hoping that it procs on more than one enemy at a time.
Any advice/help would be very much appreciated. For what it's worth, here's the build I have planned out.
