Here's your build, tweaked a little to provide around 8% more E/NE defense. I couldn't go much further in that direction without taking you too far from the S/L soft-cap, which presumably you don't want to do. As you can see, as it is I had to pull the 6th slot from some of your attacks; they should still be adequately slotted, but you might want to play with them a bit to get the slotting closer to what you'd like.
I also switched out Soul Transfer for Op Gloom, a MUCH more useful power, IMO, and one I'd take at 26 when it's available. You can, of course ignore that change if you like.

Knight Court--A CoH Story Complete 2/3/2012
Thank you very much. I like the changes you made. I switched the scirocos in death shroud for 3 parts from multi strike for lower end-use and I also put the erad proc in there instead of the dam/rech, other than that it looks much better. I am not sure about the Soul Transfer - OG part, but I guess I will see when I'm getting closer to those levels. Thank you. Any hints on the slotting on dark regen? I am not sure about that really..
There's no one right way to slot Dark Regen; you can use PBAoE, Taunt, Healing, and Accurate Healing sets so you have lots and lots of options.
It's a big heal with a short recharge, so I think it's more important to slot it for accuracy and end reduction rather than heal or recharge. One option I've used before is to slot it with three Eradication for the E/NE bonus and then add other IOs, but it's a challenge to get enough end reduction in that case. Frankenslotting with PBAoE and Healing sets is a good way to get the levels you need, if you don't mind giving up set bonuses.
And although I haven't used it yet, (I'm saving up my merits) people who have strongly recommend the Theft of Essence +End proc for Dark Regen. So you might want to start with that and build around it to get the enhancements levels you want.

Hey, I think I could use some feedback on this build. I am just barely softcapped to S/L and my melee def is at 40%. I would like to keep the S/L defcap but would also like to get my energy defense higher. How can I do this? Help me out!
