My first advice would be to check out Call Me Awesome's two guides to the Invulnerable tank: Invulnerable Tank: The First 20 Levels and Invulnerable Tankers and the Defensive Soft cap.
Once you've taken a look at his guides come back with a build you're thinking about going with. Several of the other inv/ threads might give you some ideas as well.
Throwing darts at the board to see if something sticks.....
Come show your resolve and fight my brute!
Tanks: Gauntlet, the streak breaker and you!

Thanks for the build. It is a good one. My current build is very similar... we have only 3 powers difference.|

You: Superspeed, Resist Physical Damage, Incinerate, Fire Blast
Me: Superjump, Build Up, Taunt, Unstoppable
So I take it you don't think Resist Elements or Resist Energies are worth it?
Uhhh...that would be 4 poweres... LOL

Done that. My questions are about "Aid Self" and "Focused Accuracy" - have you used these or have an opinion about them?

Aid self shouldn't be taken, IMO. In the situations where you would need it you're already under such severe debuffs that it won't turn the tide of the battle to your advantage. It's also good to remember it will use Endurance even if it gets interrupted.
Focused Accuracy isn't of much use nowadays with Accuracy bonuses available in pretty much half of the IO sets. You also have Invincibility which buffs your ToHit for each enemy within melee range. Getting Defense bonuses would be more useful as it will help you avoid ToHit debuffs altogether.

Sorry I hadn't responded before, but I pretty much agree with what DSorrow posted. Personally, I wouldn't bother with either. But as always YMMV.
Between Resist Energies and Resist Elements you can skip both if you choose, but if you take one I'd take Resist Energies as Elec/Dark attacks are more prevalent in the game then Fire/Cold. Both can be taken later in your build.

Here's the thing though. Focused accuracy isn't about accuracy anymore. It's about accuracy debuff resistance: 60%!|

This means that if I have it running and run through a Hurricane to kill an Avalanche shaman... my to hit will be reduced less than half of previous (without power). In spite of Invincibility's buff there are plenty of times when I am sitting in a hurricane or two and I can't hit anything. A big banished pantheon map and I run out of +ACC inspirations. This power could be the solution...

I think you've already made your decision.
The reality is this, it's your toon. If you find that Focused Accuracy helps you more than any other power choice, then you should grab it. I used to have it on my BS/Inv scrapper but found it to be more of an endurance sink for what it was worth. In those situations where my Acc was de-buffed I popped a yellow. With the ability to combine inspies I usually don't run completely out of them. Again, that's my preference. You need to decide what is best for you and your particular needs.

I have no problems whatsoever hitting enemies through Hurricane on my /Inv scrapper. Between Invincibility, Kismet +ToHit, Acc bonuses and enhancement, insps and BU there isn't much that can keep my ToHit floored (or even under 85% hit chance).

I've finally got my Inv/Fire to 49 and I'll be 50 soon. I need a respec for him. His current build was from before the buff to passives so I've basically got the good toggles from Inv/ and the fighting pool for when things get sticky. I have Pyre master for "char" for sappers and my main problems in the game seem to be slows, accuracy debuffs, psi damage, toxic damage, and endurance drains.
I love that the passives have been buffed and that some of these holes are being sort of plugged.
I am thinking that I may dip into the Energy Master pool for conserve power, perfect body (or whatever) and the focused accuracy. Together with the passives this will help me with the slows, accuracy debuffs and endurance drains. I'm excited about this but I have some questions.
1) What about Aid Self? Dull Pain has been a huge benefit to my tank. I think about it as a resist ALL power. A self heal (with slotted interupts) may be a good solution to psi and toxic damage...
2) How well does focused accuracy work? The endurance cost is HUGE and for only a +5% accuracy buff!?!? It's basically just for the acc debuff resistance and I'll only need this in a few situations... foes with Hurricane for example. Is this power worth it?
Any other advice? I just have one respec so I want to get things right.
