Looks like a very solid, though expensive, build.
A couple of minor things:
I'd recommend taking Whirling Mace much earlier. You can easily delay the Fighting Pool to 30/32/41 to take WM at 28. I would also take Taunt much earlier, but that's more of a personal preference.
With CJ and Phalanx Fighting both on, you're at over 54% Melee def, which is really more than you need. You could save yourself some infl and switch over one of the Oblit sets to Multistrike. Oblit has great bonuses, but some IOs in the set are quite expensive and overall the set is very low in end reduction.
My Characters
Knight Court--A CoH Story Complete 2/3/2012
I dropped the fighting pool on my SD/WM, with IOs you can easily get to the def soft cap and I felt that having the extra defence debuff resistance from grant cover was more useful than a little extra S/L resistance from tough.
I took focused accruacy (slotted with gaussians) instead of conserve power, I can easily run it since I don't have fighting. I took one with the shield incase I should need some extra resistance.
I played through Dark Watchers arc set to team size 8/+1 and had no trouble from massive mobs of vengence stacked nemisis.
Quote:
I'm a little baffled by this, since massive mobs of vengeance stacked Nemesis get a to-hit bonus that your defense debuff resistance (DDR) does NOTHING to protect you from. Vengeance makes them hit you more often despite your high defense, it doesn't reduce your defense by debuffing. Normally the only protection a defense-based build can get is either to massively overstack defense (force fields, cold shields, purple inspirations, etc.) or just to kill them all quickly.

Lol, good point, guess i killed them all quickly since i didnt have trouble hitting them.
Quote:
War mace is a good AoE set and the secondary effects are decent mitigation. I can believe it helped protect you. I'm currently enjoying a Shield/Axe Tanker; Axe does all knockdown (instead of kd and stun) and is close to Mace's somewhat better AoE potential, and I get a TON of mitigation from my attacks.

Im looking to use my last respec on this build but it says its over the cap. Im new to this stuff so any help would be greatly appreciated. I want to use this tank for solo but will want to team once in awhile. I dont want to use any hami's or purples in the build either.
Be brutal if you have too
