Noone responded but I think you have a great concept. GL...

I like it! I wanted to do something like that with one of my dominators, although I might go for S/L resist and ranged defense instead if I can figure out how.
My Ice/Psi has S/L defense stacked up too. I've tried tanking AVs; it's possible but its not exactly super effective. For Psi at least it's tough to keep them attacking you, and you have low HP and a low margin of error. One slipup in healing and you die. I don't think you can tank a +4 AV on your own even if you have fully saturated Drain psyche.
It's really fun though.
Active (Freedom): Setna (Ice/Psi Dom), Arram (WP/KM Tank), Tesmiel (Elec/SS Tank), Astredax (Robot/Dark Mastermind), Operative Vidali (melee fortunata)
Retired (Virtue): Gaav (Inv/EM Tank), Baqra (Fire/SS Tank)
earth/earth might be CoV's best kept secret. for people like me that like to smash and dominate and still have many options to add to your game, rather it be teaming, pvp'ing, farming, or soloing... this combo gets it done.
i recently hit lvl 50 on my Mids build so i wanted to give it a test run after spending all day crafting. currently i have 2 sets missing from the final pre-planned build, but it's still perma with 170% +rech with Hasten having a 6 sec cool-down. S/L def is at 38.5%.
with those numbers i did a test run and solo farmed some lvl 50 LTs (0+/x8)... easy enough, so then i jumped on a tough lvl 53 AE Farm with two very good Brutes. i held my own very well to my surprise. next i was able to tank an AE farm with lvl 51 Lts, ambush and all(+1/x8).
i knew earth would be fun, but i didn't realize it would be so powerful too. which made me think... i wonder how powerful? i already feel like a mini brute. and i held my own along side a ss/wp and ss/fire brute in a farm trio. i wonder if i can tank lvl 54's just as well too? that has yet to be seen. but i did make another build in mids that has me drooling to finish.
this build screams Perma-Brute. with 55 res S/L, 38.4 def S/L (44 def to S/L w/ powerboost. taking the alpha). plus Dark Obliteration has a -8.55 to-hit debuff, and when needed, earthquake has a -15 to-hit debuff. throw in the fact that Stalagmites has a proc for 33% to-hit debuff, and you reach levels equivalent or better than that of personal force field.
here's the build...although it's costly, the only i'd need to get to make it work are the Kinetic Combat Sets. which i plan on getting via tickets and sells.
