At a glance, your build looks pretty good. Although, if you have the money to spend on Gambler, Numina's, etc, I'd just go for Pyre Mastery. You've already put Gaussian's in Rage, and with the right IO sets/bonuses, you won't need Physical Perfection.
As for its viability and fun factor, yes and yes. My main (SD/SS/Pyre) doesn't have nearly as much cash spent on him as what you have planned, and he can easily solo any enemy group at +2/x8. He can do +3/x8 if I don't mind occasionally popping some inspirations.
It's a hell of a lot of fun.
EDIT: Also, Mids is showing me Footstop with rage beating Dragon's Tail by a few points of damage. Even if it didn't, the much larger AOE with footstomp makes it pretty much no contest. I'm assuming MA scrappers do more single target DPS than SS tankers, but I don't have numbers to back that up.
My plan with this build was to try farming for once. Foot stomp comes up every 6 seconds and I thought I could just use Foot Stomp and Shield Charge to go through large groups. Because of the endurance costs of Foot Stomp I thought I would need all the endurance I could get.

And generally speaking, you're right. Energy Mastery is a good choice, for sure, but if you have the money to spend, why not allow yourself to throw fireballs around? Unless your character concept just doesn't allow it, in which case, go with whatever is cool. |

But I am working on a SD/SS tanker right now, and just respecced from Energy to Pyre. I thought it would be nightmarish, but some set bonuses and unique IOs made all the difference.
Can a SD/SS tank reach scrapper level damage? I am looking at Foot Stomp with AAO and Rage going. It does higher damage than my MA/SD scrapper's Dragon's Tail with AAO in Mid's.
For some reason SC does not show the damage for the Tanker in Mid's.
I want to know if Mid's is accurate? Also, anyone play SD/SS with opinions on it's viability and fun factor? Also, do SD tanks take Taunt? I had Taunt in my original build, but switched it out for Hasten.
My first take at a build:
