First, it's kinda hard to really know your build the way you explained it. So's doesn't tell us what you slotted for and 3-4 of a set, doesn't give us the % for everything. (did you pick the 3 cheapest ios for the bonus or you have the 3 best?)
Now, for the things i see.
1) Don't slot KO Blow with KBs.... that's your best attack, you want the most dam/acc/rech possible (as well as some end)
2)Unless you really need the set bonuses and can spare the slots, you shouldn't be 5-slotting Taunt.
3)Resist Physical Damage, if you are using So, one is more then enough. Only give more slot if you really need the set bonuses. Steadfast +3% def is a good one for that.
4) Resist Energies, resists elements, tough hide. Based on last point, i'm not sure if you really slotted them for the bonus or you made the same error as with Resist Physical Damage.
5) Dull Pain should be 5 slotted, it's extremely good.
6)You should probably take stamina too. I know i'd have a lot of endurance problems with that build.

I agree entirely with FireWyvern, it's nearly impossible to tell how you're slotted. Telling us you have X amount of Y set slotted doesn't give enough information on just exactly WHAT ones you have slotted.
Like in Punch, you say you have 3 Mako and 3 Smashing Haymaker slotted, but I can't tell how much Acc, Dam, End Reduct or Rech you actually have since specific enhancements aren't listed.
About the only things I can see that immediately jumps out at me is Resist Physical Damage: 4 So's... you slotted 4 Damage Resist SO's in it? If so, then you wasted at least 1 slot since with "ED" anything past the 3rd slot with SO's is giving next to no increase.
Also, you only have 2 enhancements in Dull Pain, a power that essentially BEGS to be 5-6 slotted and comes early enough in the Invul set that it SHOULD be 5-6 slotted ASAP, and definitely 5-6 slotted before you get to Footstomp!
There are other things that I would do differently, but they are play style choices and not suitable for a critique*. Though I have to ask why you'd put KB in KO Blow instead of acc and damage, since KO Blow is your heaviest hitting attack.

I wanted to add that last 2.4% damage resist to the build. Like I said I was going for both power and defense in mind but along the way got distracted.
Do you use Mid's Hero Designer? If not, go to CoHPlanner.com. It makes communication of builds on the forums a LOT easier.
I will chime in favor of slotting taunt in some cases on builds. The Taunt sets come in handy on certain builds that benefit a lot from S/L defense. Invuln can benefit significantly from this, but in the case of the OP's build, it is not necessary, as no significant numbers are being stacked.
I think what would help you the most is actually decide on a goal you want to aim for with your build, and then choose IO's to go around that build.
For example, if you were wanting S/L defense, I would expect to see kinetic combats in your melee attacks. If you were going for perma-dull pain, I would expect to see sets like crushing impact, LOTG 7.5, and a better slotting of dull pain.
Instead, I see odd set bonuses. A mix of AoE defense (which is silly to work on with a typed defense set), some HP bonuses, though a lack of concentration throughout for HP/regen.
Once I know exactly what you want to go for, I can critique your build a little more, but right now it's a little scattered for me to offer suggestions on which direction to go.
In my haste after using the Villain designer I think I may have slotted wrong because I second guessed myself thinking one would work better or give more HP. I hand wrote this since I did not save any information. Could someone critique this build and tell me what I may have missed because I teamed with another invul. and they had looked like they had better build than me in a mission we did.
