The only "big" weakness that I've encountered so far is Toxic damage. With Electric/DM you'll end up with three heals, or at least that's the theory I'm working with. Mine is around 26-27 and so far so good. I'll be working Tough and Weave into the build and would like Lightning Reflexes as well, so it will be tight.
I'll probably take all powers in the Primary except Power Surge and all but Smite and Touch of Fear (note: this is subject to change once I see how the toon plays). I'll also take the Fitness Pool for Hurdle, Health and Stamina; the Fighting Pool for Tough and Weave, and I will probably try to work in Hasten and Swift. Depending on what's left over I'll look at Fire Mastery and Energy Mastery for the Epic.
I've just picked up the Martial Arts Expansion, so Travel Powers aren't a big issue, but currently he has Super Jump.

I like Elec/Dark. The "smack!" of the DM powers is so satisfying. Endurance is not an issue post-lv 26, and Power Sink is a good offensive tool as well; it gives you a few seconds of silence.
A couple things I've noticed. First, if you take Shadow Maul, you have to be really aware of your life bar as it'll root you for awhile. This is a problem as you can take damage while you're swinging away and might not have enough time to activate Energize or Siphon Life. In addition, you have to move around the spawns to get in optimal position for the Maul, which Elec actually helps with when you get Lightning Reflexes. I have Maul and I like it, but I smack myself in the face when I try to Maul instead heal when I need it. Second, Elec/Dm is like a hot knife through Rikti butter -- super energy resists and the Drones are weak to both energy and dark damage.
Finally, try to fit in Tough. You can get close to 80% S/L resistance with it. That's a lot!

Energize and Siphon life, thats two, where do you get the third heal from? (you didn't mention aid self, nor would I recommend it for this build)

Just made level 10 with my Electric/Dark tank, just curious if anyone could post their thoughts on strengths/weaknesses of this tank. Also example builds without sets would be awesome!
