There's the obvious question: why did you take Hurdle instead of Swift? Stone tanks don't jump.
Well, you certainly shouldn't die to anything normal in the game. I don't think you'll be able to kill anything either, but hey, you do what you have to, right? Good luck holding aggro.
Oh, and you can toggle off Tough without any noticeable effect except that you'll spend less endurance.
Where to now?

You have successfully built a Raging Volcano!
It's immobile, practically immune from harm, spews fire and rocks, and occasionally shakes the ground to knock you down.
I'm sure you could use it for things like invasions or mothership raids, where you don't have to move much, but if you team they are going to be constantly waiting for you to catch up.
A lot of teams won't like that, but to each his own. If you like it, play it!
I like it. 
I believe if you take a secondary set that has more pbaoe attacks, then you can use more Scirocco's Dervish sets, which will be more efficient to help you cap psionic defense. Such effort may not pay off against some mobs. For example, Rularuu can debuff your defense, and the debuffs stack pretty quickly if you rush into a group of Rularuu.

Cool I guess.. I still think that people shouldn't build a stoner to run granite only.. but hey.. whatever makes you happy I guess..

Although the OP isn't picking it up until lvl 28, which is certainly not good. I'd pick up TP at lvl 14, as soon as it's available. It will make your before in Granite much easier. Easier to get around, easier to find a team (they won't have to wait around for you), etc.
Edit: I also personally wouldn't pick up Mud Pots until you have Stamina. Combined with any normal attack chain, I find Mud Pots too taxing on Endurance without Stamina first.

Well TP is good and all, but there's still going to be times that you'd rather just move a few feet over vs. having to try to teleport..

I don't plan to get exemplar'ed with this build. I'll probably use the 2nd build with the other armors, in case of getting exemplar'ed.|

this stone armor isn't "my fun"
I'm looking for the ultimate high-end tanker.
I got nice result with my dark/DB, but sadly, a lot of people are bad-informed and won't take you in groups as they hear "dark armor", even with a really good IO build (45% S/L/E/N)
I also get nice results with invul but: 25% only to end drain .... I'm really afraid of getting de-toggled
anyone know if Elec Armor would do the work ?
English isn't my birth language, so don't blame me if I do some mistakes. thank you !

Elec/ with 30-35% S/L defense and 700+ HP bonuses will out-survive a lot of things. Including other well-built tanks. If you can manage to build in decent recharge, it would be even more insane.

sadly your video won't change their mind, as it only show random groups.
I saw your performance in "Mo"TFs, you really should make a video of you tanking in STF/LGTF/etc, it would make DA tankers life better :P
(btw: nice work on your DA !)

I guess I could do an AV video or something. I just don't like to risk a performance hiccup while I'm letting Lord Recluse wail on me.
