Need help defending against status effects
Break Frees.
Other than that, you'll get no protection from sets. The mez resistance doesn't really help much, as even 100% resistance only cuts the duration in half.
You'd be better off building for defense and -tohit in your primary so that you avoid getting hit by the mez.
Where to now?

Break frees is right.
Or be Willpower, I think dark has Obsidian Sheild, etc. [different archetype and powerset iow]
As Dechs says you can't get mez protection through IOs (except knockback) and trying to build up resistance is not really worth it so defense (especially ranged defense) and break frees are the way to go.
Additionally the Leaping Pool offers some mez protection. Combat Jumping provides immobolize protection and Acrobatics provides Hold and Knockback protection. You still have sleep and stun holes but it's still useful.
Of course you could always re-roll as a Dark/Traps Corruptor, they get nice protection to Immobolize, Stun and Hold.

You can also look into the Aegis Psi/ Mez unique IO for up to 20% reduction in mez duration but you'd need to take a Resistance [ Pool / Patron ] power to slot it.
Also check this wiki page and look for which sets would give mez duration reduction / defence that you can use.
Edit to clarify Health / Aid self as resistance.

Thanks for all of this great advice. I should mention that as long as I play at a distance I don't get hit with stuns/holds that often but I like to get up close and personal so I can use transference to keep my end full while I play with ninja run and sprint on. If I get on a good team that has debuffs and such to keep me from getting hit with stuns and holds then it works great and we can steamroll through almost anything (and we usually do), but there are occasions when I get stunned or held and btt I can pop a break free I'm dead. The problem is the cone around transference is so small that I wind up fighting in melee range more often than not. I know they discontinued the old enh's that used to give us larger cone range. If I slot transference for range will it have any effect on the cone? It is also worth mentioning that I don't get hit with other status/mez effects very often. Stuns are what get me the most often with holds and immobilize in 2nd. I don't really care about immobilize because I'm usually right where I want to be when they hit me as I move so fast that they can't get anything on me until I decide to stand in one place.
The only mez you can get protection from via IOs is knockback. And a single -KB IO is generally sufficient.
If you want to avoid other mezzes, your best bet is getting +def bonuses, rather than -mez bonuses (which don't exist). A mez can't affect you if the power can't hit you!

I should also point out that Transference isn't a cone. It can only drain one enemy at a time, but all allies within a close enough radius to that enemy will gain endurance. And as Eric Nelson said, putting a range enhancement won't have any effect on the radius around the enemy.

For a Dark Blast Corruptor, your protection comes from flooring your foes' accuracy when your attacks hit. If they can't land a hit on you, they can't stun/sleep/hold/KB you.
The Psi Epic pool provides some useful protections as Toggles

With high enough recharge bonuses it's possible to make Indomitable Will effectively permanent, barring recharge rate debuffs.

There are always the often forgotten buffs you can get from the empowerment stations in bases. These can grant you some protection from mez effects.
Also the self-heal in the med pool set has a limited amount of status protection for a sort amount of time.
I usually carry a least one column of breakfrees (in the insp window) for characters that don't have resistance to status effects.

Resistance and protection are two different things.

But unfortunately, that doesn't help non-melee characters, where, as others have noted, the options are very limited for everything but KB protection.

What's the best rare set for a lvl 50 dark/kin corr to use to defend against status effects such as stun, hold, and immobilize? My guy is pretty awesome already but if he gets stunned or held it takes forever to wear off. I would like to either avoid this altogether or cut down on the time i get held/stunned.
