Exactly my thoughts, pump S/L to as near 45% as you can and you're probably good enough; E/N can be disregarded and, frankly, F/C is rare enough you shouldn't need to worry much.|

I can tell you that on pure SO's the set's pretty squishy... I had a level bumped Elec/SS tanker in the closed beta testing and he wasn't up to heavy tanking without outside support. Adding significant S/L def would turn it from a poor performer into a pretty nice tank.
I'd have to playtest it some, but my initial thought is after getting S/L def taken care of to work on recharge and regen.
Oh, one minor nitpick, since you're talking about a tanker it would be ELA/Mace... Mace/ELA would be a brute. I know, it's a minor thing but I have to mentally translate it every time I see it inverted. I'm funny that way

Bleck, excuse me with that. I don't know what came over me.

I rolled an ELA/Mace the day I16 dropped. I went into it with the Fire Armor squishy set mindset and was quite pleasantly suprised. It's a very resilient set. What really irked me though is the Stupid-high Energy defence. Even leaving Grounded totally unslotted, on so's, it's over 100%(90% cap). The end drain from the War Mace powers gets slightly tricky if I'm not paying enough attenion to my blue bar, but at lvl 47-50, when I start throwing IO sets in, that and the low Smashing/Lethal resists will be boosted.
Drop some +recharge bonuses so Energize is available more and it's a very fun tank with darn good survivability, IMHO, and the mitigation from war mace KB/KD doesn't hurt!
I'm planning on Tough to help the S/L resist, and weave 6 slotted to add defence, already running CJ.
