I'm placing my bet in the peenk corner with the defense.
Well the 23.2% defense will cut incoming damage by nearly half, as long as there aren't any defense debuffs or tohit buffs going on. 5% recharge and 73% regeneration won't do nearly as much to contribute to survivability.
The defense, no question. Don't forget that it will only take two t1 purples (or one t2) to softcap you. That is a huge benefit when the going gets tough.
If you're facing enough def debuffers to redline your defense, then you'll never notice the 5 hp/sec difference, anyways.
Now you have me intrigued, as I have a new /Ela Crapper.
How does one build for maximum Defense?

Gud eeeveneen ladieees and ladies pretending to be gennelmeeen,
Tonight we have two ElA crappers duking it out for the high recharge build championsheep. The winner will take home this champeeonsheep belt made of bacon and babies toes.
In the peenk corner, wearing the mauve tutu, we have the ElA crapper with:
180% recharge
447% regen
23.2% Def to all relevant positions
In the fuchsia corner, wearing the lederhosen, we have the ElA crapper with:
185% recharge
518% regen
zeeeero Def
Both ladies have similar resists and attack chains. Everything else about the dudes is basically the same.
Who would you root for? More regen or positional defense dude? The 71% regen difference is really only 5 HP per sec more regen, so it seems pitifully low and every bone in my body tells me positional defense dude is going to bash regen junkie's face in.
Would anyone, ever root for more regen for Ela over positional defense? Does it makes sense in gameplay even thought it seems to not make sense at all numerically?
