Here are my thoughts:
Soul Drain: If you're gonna 6-slot it I'd suggest slotting for damage, if not then acc/rech is good enough to save slots. You don't need the defense Gaussian adds.
The regen you've put in there is not enough to be worth it. So skip the slots in health, put a miracle in there. I don't think you'll need body mastery either and with the poor slotting in there it's not doing a lot. I'd rather pick up Hasten (you want shield charge and SD up more often) and Grant Cover for DDR. If you want more endurance reduction just re-slot your toggles with Gift of the Ancients.
Your slotting in tough is a waste, you don't need those set bonuses.
These were the stuff on top of my head. Here is my build for my Shield/Dark/Fire

Thanks for the tips Rothb. I'll look into doing some shifting of things around and change out a couple sets.

I like/play both shield primary and DM secondary quite a bit and so thought it would be fun to see what I could do with mids and not use purples (alright i did use LotG +recharge and a couple uniques lol). If you wanted more DDR you could drop Superjump and get grant cover (you are already at ~50% with this build). I find 50% to be plenty even on ITF...YMMV.

Below is my build for a Shield/Dark Melee tanker I've been leveling. He just hit 19 last night. The character has been a blast so far. But the truth is, I'm not terribly good at designing an IO build, and was hoping for some feedback. I haven't been able to shake the feeling I'm doing something wrong with him. Thanks in advance for any replies.One note I wanted to make: don't pay attention to the level at which the various enhancement slots were placed. I designed him in "dynamic mode" so the exact order of slot placement may look a bit....odd.
