You want to take a look at the Healing sets as there are a few sets that have a special one that can enhance Regen/Recovery a good amount, also, Energy Mastery is a good APP to take as they have another ability that can enhance Regen/Recovery.
An easy way to start out is to look at a build guide for your particular sets. It gives you something to strive for while you learn about the sets.
For SS/WP, you most importantly want +HP. After that you want to find some +regen, +recovery, and +defense bonuses. Dont' forget to get good enhancement values out of all your powers.
My SS/WP Brute has a planned build for 32.5 or higher for smashing/lethal and elemental defenses. It will also benefit you to find about 40-60% global recharge. Some sets that I like are Performance Shifter (endurance modification), Numina's Convalesence (healing), Miracle (healing), Reactive Armor (resistance), Kinetic Combat (melee damage), and Luck of the Gambler (defense). Check out the set bonuses from them and try to find a combination that will provide you with what you want.
I'll edit in a data chunk for my build.
edit: here is my build

So, Going rogue came out and I've decided to re-subscribe and start playing again. So while waiting for the patcher to work (Some patcher issues, but it all came through in the end), I was browsing Mids to think up a new character to play.
I've settled down on SS/WP for my villain, sort of opposite of my scrapper hero side. Playing with the powers and slotting and stuff, and I've noticed that we now have IOs -- And they're very confusing.
Is there a crash course in SS/WP IOs? Trying to slot it out in general is confusing -- Do I put more slots into passive powers for more set bonuses for the IOs? What about picking up Hurl to have a purple ranged attack IO set? Does the chance for build up proc off of tactics?
I looked into the guide section, but it seems that most people are recommending slotting for non-set IOs. All in all, I'm generally confused when I look at this, and was wondering if anyone could point me into the right direction. Thanks in advance
