Well, there's a pretty simple reason you're not getting much out of it: */Regen doesn't get much from +regen. It doesn't get all that much from +hp either, and that seems to be something you aimed for pretty intensely as well. The only power in the set that benefits at all from the +heal set bonus is Dull Pain and, even then, it's only the heal portion rather than the +hp portion (this is due to Recon being unaffected by outside buffs because it provides resistance). You generally want to ignore those set bonuses as well.|

What */Regen really loves is defense and recharge. */Regen loves recharge. With an obscene passion. Thankfully, both of these things often come hand in hand.
Now, for your slotting, it's pretty much apparent you have no clue what you're doing. A large number of 6 piece set bonuses are largely useless, like the Crushing Impact and Scirocco's 6 pieces. Because the enhancement bonuses are so high, you generally only need 5 slots in order to get all of the enhancement you need.
Here's a build that should show you what I'm talking about. It manages softcap defenses with a single application of Parry, perma-DP, and infinite endurance sustainability. Notice the AH proc in Hack: it's one of your best long term damage contributors. Similarly, I used Obliteration and Doctored Wounds rather than Scirocco's Dervish and Numina's. You'll also notice that I did not take Fitness: */Regen gets access to QR, which will do everything you need, especially since the sets provide large amounts of end redux as well.

In case you're wondering, since you're basically new to this forum, Umbral is an expert and Regeneration is one of his specialties. Some of his advice may sound strange to you (don't worry about your regeneration or hit points, skip Fitness, etc.). And seeing your regeneration at 752% vs. his at 554% might make you think he's done something very wrong. He hasn't. He's done something very right.
If you want further clarification on WHY what he's done is the right thing to do, we can get into that. If you want to custom tailor some things to your own play style, we can get into that too. But if you just want a good mid-priced PvE build, you're set.

Thank you both. It has certainly given me something to think about. 
I think I get the "Why" part of the build...
I don't know... the OCD part of me just dislikes all the mixing of sets and stuff
I guess I'll give it a try, see how I like it... I should have enough Inf lying around...

Hi.
I couldn't stay away from City of Heroes any longer, and have been playing again for a couple weeks now. I dusted of my very first 50 and had a go with these newfangled Invention Origin Enhancements, but I think I am doing it wrong...
I was hoping you guys could look over my build and come up with some constructive criticism
Here we go...
