One trick I use with defense bonuses is to use 2 of the Gift of the Ancients in the two toggles on /Shield. I'd take one slot out of hasten and put it in True Grit. Then take that slot and put it in True Grit In TG I"d use Two Miracles and Two Harmonized healing for more hit points. I started ignoring buffing the Resistance effect of True Grit and just using the hit point/recovery as it's benefit.
check out the extra recovery I squeezed out and see if you like it

I moved the steadfast IO to a better spot, gutted boxing, added hp to true grit, kept you at def cap. There's even a slot left over.
Consider using defense/resist slots more, some give nice bonuses.

I just want to point out that none of these builds are actually soft-capped. They all have Phalanx Fighting set to count one ally in range for an extra defense buff. Drop the allies in range on Phalanx Fighting to zero and they are no longer capped.
43.8% Melee Def
42.4% Ranged Def
42.1% AOE Def
Hadn't realized that, thanks, good thing my current build isn't messed up because of that.
Here's the current build I plan on using for him (it incorporates an Acc/Dam Hami-O and a Acc/Rech Hecatomb that dropped for me).
It's got soft-capped defenses (even with zero allies for Phalanx fighting) and 44% defense debuff resistance. (There's a version with a lot more Hami-Os that has 88% debuff resistance and better End cost on the toggles, but I don't have the cash for that one yet.)

I have a Shield/Dark tanker and his build might help you. 1 slot from Active Defense and 1 slot from Hasten could probably be used otherwise. Defenses are soft-capped and S/L resist is capped with One with the Shield on. Here is his build. Quite cheap:

This is my current Baby. Nigh-unkillable to everything but Hami and PPD. And probably the cheapest route to soft-capping with decent extras.
I didn't bother worrying about defense debuffs, as I plan to make a new build utilizing Purps, Ho's, and Grant Cover.

That build would not be softcapped on a brute. While brutes and tanks have the same caps, brutes and scrapper have the same base numbers.

@Roderick
This my first pass at a DM/SD brute. It's got soft-capped defenses, but I think it will have End issues, and doesn't have enough recharge yet. (I will eventually get the 5 LoTG +Recharge IO's, but I'm not including them now because I won't have them for awhile.)
