Dream SS/SD build?
This is the build I run. It has permahasten when farming from the force-feedback proc in footstomp. I took down a rikti pylon in less than 8 minutes. It is a little short on the soft-cap to ranged and aoe but as long as you open with dark obliteration (-to hit) it will effectively be the same thing.

Thanks for the quick response on this, this looks like an amazing build, im assuming your end comes back decently fast, enough not have to use blues or worry about crash's. Now out of curiosity, just because its a badass looking build, does that mean its the best?
It's the best one in this thread
My end comes back at about 2.67 end/sec before the panacea and perf shifter procs, so ~3 end/sec with them. When I'm launching off all my aoes and fighting all out I can still drain myself of my end, but with that many npcs falling blues shouldn't be a problem to come by. I actually earn endurance during the rage crash as long as I don't attack during it.
As far as it being the best, for me yes it is. It does exactly what I designed it for, a great teaming brute, with great survivability and very good aoe and single target damage.
If you want more aoe damage drop soul mastery for mu mastery and grab e-fences and ball lightning. If you want to be able to take more damage drop the endu reductions from gloom, dark obliteration and haymaker and slot up tough and deflection for resistance. Its really up to you.
Some other points. Accolades help a lot. The +20%hp and +10endurance increase all your +regen and recovery bonuses. Slotting active defense and grant cover the way I did gives around 93% defense debuff resistance. Defense debuff resistance is critical on defense based toons, without it you can see your defense drops tremendously fast.
Feel free to ask any other questions, I have a 50 fm/shield scrapper and 45 dm/shield brute, so I'm pretty well versed with shield.

Hello all, im on a mac and cant use Mids, im almost our of slotts for my server and am thinking of putting all my cash into a SS/SD, as I have Io'd out most of the toons I want already. Im assuming my goals are Defence to All capped, alot of recovery, and im not sure if im a fan of aid self or not... I've seen some decent builds on boards, but im curious if anyone has a dream build and can post it. I wont be Pvping with this build, but woudlnt mind paying for those PVP IO's... at least the 3% one.. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, and any info on what else I should go for.
Cheers.
