It seems to me the Force Feedback proc would be better in Thunder Strike, since you can use that a lot more often. I haven't tried it with TS specifically, but it works great in Tremor and Foot Stomp.

I've never even dreamed of using the Sandman proc, and I most likely never will. Here's why: the proc has a 10% chance to grant you a 5% heal. That's roughly a .5% heal per attack. Assuming you're using an attack chain such as CI>CB>HP>CB, that would be 3 attempts every 5.016 seconds. A 1.5% heal every 5.016 seconds translates to 20.07 hp every 5.016 second or 4 hp/sec. That's less than base regen and it doesn't scale with +hp. Numerically, you're better off just getting a +regen set bonus that trying to salvage anything from the Sandman proc.|

Those procs suck. Trust me, I've tried them. Spending all that inf and one enhancement slot so you can see a green +28 pop up every few minutes is super-mega-awesome lame.
Jacob's Ladder is great. Learn to use it well and it'll be a heavy hitter for you. Plus it's all energy damage which is nice.
I'd also agree that the proc is probably better off in Thunder Strike, although the only time I've used it was in Dragon's Tail on a MA scrapper. I personally have an Explosive Strike Chance for Smashing in Thunder Strike. A little extra kick, and it's a dirt cheap proc to get ahold of too.
Haven't tried Electric Armor, and haven't gotten to LR yet, so can't really comment on those things.
They ALL float down here. When you're down here with us, you'll float too!

Cool thats about what I figured on the heal procs. Guess its just more damage procs like I figured. Thanks for the answers and numbers.
Couple questions:

Force Feedback proc for plus recharge in Lighting Rod. I looked around on Wiki but couldn't find where it was bugged, which I heard it was if you put it in LR. Wiki does say that damage procs are bugged if you put them in LR, doing damage to you instead of the enemy. I understand that its a good proc to put in an aoe power, although it doesn't stack with itself. I guess my second question is, if it does work in LR, seems like a good way of getting the proc to fire if used on a big group, does the bonus really help that much. It is 100% recharge bonus, but only lasts 5 seconds. My idea behind it is for it to fire after LR, to increase the downtime of LR, and of course other powers as well. But does it really help that much?
How are your experiences with the T9 for /elec? I've heard several say they skip it because the don't need it. I plan on at least trying it out for the visuals, and respecin later if I don't like it. Figured I'd ask you all about that while I'm at it.
All in all, my newest scrapper, elec/elec, is pretty darn fun to play. He is a lil squishy, but the self heal seems to help a ton, and I assume tough will as well. AOE is good with Thunderous Blow or whatever, and LR
