It seems like you're slotting your powers with IO sets, but without a particular goal in mind. You can optimize your build for higher regeneration, faster recharge such that dull pain can be up all the time, and defense (usually melee or smashing/lethal). The slotting depends pretty much on your budget.
Can some one tell me how to max this out so I can solo AVs? or if not possible just the best build for this type of character? I have really no clue when it comes to Min/maxing or Io sets in general.
The most important things to look for are recharge bonuses and melee defense. Regen thrives on +rech for its clickies. At the very least, get 55% recharge in sets (that's excluding hasten). That will make dull pain perma, and with accolades, make you 1 hp set bonus short of hp cap (which makes your passive regen more effective).
Don't try and push the highest passive regen values you can. It's not worth it. Build instead for melee defense primarily, with range following, and AoE following range.
As a general rule of thumb, if you can't get up to 20% defense in an area, don't even bother.
You should at least go for 20% melee, but if you can, shoot for 30% melee, and let range and aoE suffer. Or try for 20%(again, minimum, it's not a magic number) in all 3 positions, whatever floats your boat.
Also, shoot for around 2.8-3end/sec end gain (After toggles are subtracted), and remember to count each performance shifter proc as .2 end.
To make a comparison, your regen will sit at right around 60hp/sec at hp cap (building defensively), but if you try to spec for regen bonuses, you may get up to about 82ish hp/sec. That's practically negligible compared to the defense and recharge you'd sacrifice building for regen.
I've been on both sides, I promise, it's better this way.
I slapped together a spines/regen while typing this so you can see what I'm talking about.
Note: My mids has stupidly huge font for no reason (since I upgraded computers and switched to Windows 7) and that, for whatever reason, made Task Force Commander hidden, so I couldn't activate it to fix your hp (it's about 53hp short of cap right now).
note primarily the defenses and the recharge, using no purples or pvps. The most expensive things here are the probably enzymes and LotGs.

Code:
I honestly prefer energy torrent on my spine/regen, so I'd likely flop maneuvers for it and wiggle some slots around to get another posi set into torrent. It works very well with the set if you're doing a bit more blasty blasty and a bit less scrappy scrappy. | Copy & Paste this data into Mids' Hero Designer to view the build | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |MxDz;1399;696;1392;HEX;| |78DA9D93594F13511886CF74A6D6C294B69452B6CA5628651968D4B8259A28A0905| |60B28170A34633996499AB6696B2277FE00AFBCF10A590255EF5DE34F53ACDF72DA| |A4F1CE097CCF9973DE6F99174EFAD5A229C4EB3B42EBBA57B0ABD5EC46AE6297CBB| |2E24EDB7927273C428870732F9B960529ADB5974EA1508DB67617E50B59AC4A6B5D| |E6655156EC9A532A06578A7BB2228B35ABB93033A552C14A49BBEC14F31DF4B2519| |672D747CB6527BF5783037F53B52B2BD53DA71C5C2A3B39EB6E69773F9BB6AB3559| |D9EF838912F07B88A3D1D3708BA780B8703D23F46C11C6B709891DC26C96B088591| |A65E96255A39315C2DC26202992318138F2281954D77EB970CBF59BD0734EE8FB43| |883508D342472C4396CED55DFA3B3A31DE3246A8EC3108DC2C70BB4FE9E4C219A34| |E98FBC0F84898FF4438812C8F1AC67340852EBE671C12FA8E08B16342FC84701F52| |BCDCCBF03EA28FEBC8305284AE3421F190B004F24E6E6274B2DC64B9D9268FB3BC1| |7E43EAEAEF9C26CDD39BC45C50338F12B8BFD4FE824B0C6606F676F6BA83B055D50| |7911641BBBD9C66E363CC6864FB2E1D36C7804B2423CA6080D927C0CB6C2CAF5F00| |CB5E86D83068288CA8934E01167B0D3AF1CEDE76E03DC6D80BB8D72B778DB9F7715| |B20639CB35C8A587DAA08320AA2C8F5EA56FBE7485B1C048B2E5970975900FAB298| |63F5385912F8CAF8C6F84D1EF8C3AF96640D698FADC31767E3CC0B8069B862E52A0| |98E0BAFA042B26830C9E33C9D880AF9A52BE4CF156DD27C40C171733FC1F1C846A9| |6EA6771B579EE37AFFAAD806241252D4468C821A3753BE1072D4FFDB393315A774C| |68B4336CB46E67C31B80ABC2A7FFFBFC309BE5BCEB1D101F63C840D03671B585611| |B5F77706563788EAF395C357E9ACD81FDD771AE1B186E62B885210CF38937A8F4E0| |B5E9C46062F061E8C2E0C710C010C23080E10043E32F05E0FD1A| |-------------------------------------------------------------------|

I hate to break it to you but Regen is terrible vs. burst damage; Spines is not great for ST DPS output. There are better builds for AV soloing. I'm not saying its impossible, but if AV soloing is what you want to do you may want to look at another combination. I caveat this with the fact that a specialized regen build could solo a subset of AVs as demonstrated by Claws_and _Effect (or was it Iggy Kamikaze)
From a min/max perspective both Spines and Regen can benefit from sets that provide +recharge bonuses. Regen would benefit from sets that provide +defense bonuses
Thank you for the tips and the build guys I'm really grateful for the help.
I made a build on mids and I was wondering how good it was so any tips or revisions are welcome.
