Keep in mind that, while regen is a strong point in Willpower, layered mitigation multiplies survivability.
When designing WP tanks, I make an effort to cap HP, but regen bonuses are not nearly as beneficial as defense.

Here is the build I'm working on right now, its only got 750% regen in mids but I also have 40% defense to s/l/e/n, 38.5% to f/c and 27% to psi along with 37.5% recharge bonus. It's also just short of the HP cap at 3168hp but with as much defense as he has i've never had an issue. Even tanking the STF was no problem with good support.
I have a build that I think you'd probably like to see,
It's WP/SS but going for the same outcome, max regen.
I actually agonized a bit as to whether or not this build should be SM, but I was able to squeeze just a bit more regen out of SS(Stun IO's).
The HP aren't quite maxed. The regen is crazy though.
I'm only at lvl 39 in game with it and I almost never die. If something gets my HP below 2/3rds I pay attention, other than that I'm immune to their puny attacks. Big giant swarms of purples and AV's are hard to solo, mostly because my damage output is crap, lol.
Mids has my lvl 50 totals at 1418%(5.92% per sec in game), 0-full in 16.9sec, and 169.7 hp per sec regen, with no enemies.

Edit: I tried longform posting it with the data chunk but the forums wouldn't let me for some reason. It kept kicking me to the Main NCsoft page and logging me out every time i tried so this is the best I could do.
Are there any good builds out there that someone wants to share for getting the most Regen while maxing out Hit Pts for a WP/SM? I have been fooling with MIDS a little and i can get the Hit Pts maxed out and i seem to be able to get the Regen at slightly over 800%. I'm sure there are better builds out there, care to share? Thanks.
my build so far...
