Triumph Lurker: mintmiki 50 emp/archer
basically, if you see a miki on Triumph, it's probably cute and it's probably me.

I would get the Martial Arts pack if you haven't already. That lets you drop Super Speed, at a minimum; you have a travel power already that is perfectly serviceable for a tanker. You could pick up Taunt for TF runs or another attack.
I have a tanker built on similar principles, though I levelled her to 50. But all her set bonuses are still there at 40, and most of them at 30. I chose Fire/DB for that purpose, and it works well.

A few things stick out a bit to me on first glance.
I'd slot High Pain Tolerance with heals before I put in damage res, and if you are going to slot dam res in it, put your 3 Steadfasts in there and move the 6 Titanium Coating to Mind Over Body, as you'll get more benefit from them there. Personally, I'd have 2 heals and the Steadfast 3% Defence unique in HPT, and 4 Reactive Armours in Mind Over Body for the additional Energy/Negative def bonus.
Rise to the Challenge - this needs to be slotted with heals. The regen boost from this is the key to WP survivability, so you want to max that out, and the to hit debuff is too low to be worth slotting for. This would be a pretty good place for 3-4 Numina's, aiming for as much heal enhancement as possible.
I think I'd slot your attacks differently too. Kinetic Combats are good in Scorch, but lack accuracy in the set, so an extra slot to boost that a litlle wouldn't be a bad idea. I don't like Breath of Fire much as an attack - it takes a little positioning to get the most out of it, and I think you'd get a lot more utility out of putting the slots from there into Fire Sword Circle. It's your heaviest hitting AOE and works really well in conjunction with Combustion when you're in the center of a group of enemies, where Rise to the Challenge is at its most effective. Personally, I'd use 3-4 Eradication plus either 2 Scirocco's or 3 Cleaving Blow in both PBAOEs. I'd also skip the fitness pool and resurgence, and pick up boxing/tough and combat jumping instead. Weave would also be a good choice if you think you can run another toggle. I get the appeal of having stamina and quick recovery, but with good slotting plus the Numina's unique you've used I think you'd get more value from the extra resistance and defence instead.
I'd go for something more like this I think. I've left SOs in some slots wherever there would be little practical benefits from slotting IOs:
