Without knowing the "bigger picture", IE your build, I couldn't make a good suggestion.

However, I can give you some general tips. Keep in mind you'll only be able to 4-slot (at the very most) any power you take at level 49.
Resist Energies would probably round out some holes in your mitigation. It can be left one-slotted and it's good to go.
Hand clap pretty much sucks except in specific builds.
Boxing could be 4-slotted with Kinetic Combat to get more smashing/lethal defense from the set bonus.
Focused Accuracy is an endurance hog.
I'm confused about how you can take laser beam eyes and energy torrent, since you only have one power choice left and they both have prerequisites.

Well, that line above got focused accuracy crossed of your list... it has a very high end cost. |

Hand Clap, to me.. is not a useful power for Invuln/* tanks.
Boxing.... Why? is your attack chain disfunctional? I could understand if for a pre-req to tough or weave... but aside from that, why? The tier 1 attack in ANY primary is better, and thats before the consideration of bruising.
Laser beam eyes/Energy torrent - both decent powers, from what I've heard... never took either on a tank myself, and probably wouldn't if I only had 3 slots to add to them... which you do at 49.

Resist Energies provides some endurance drain resistance. Not much, but when you have the choice to have SOME or NONE... what is the obvious choice?.... there are lots of Malta Sappers waiting for you
Having said all that, I've no idea what you plan on doing in your build... you apparently didn't take tough or weave if you're considering boxing at 49. although you may have used Kick as a pre-req for them, but no one does that here, at least not that I've seen, except for me.
If you're good on survivability and are just looking for a set-mule, any of the above could be good depending on what you want to do. Though, regardless of what you want to do, I'd say you probably can't go wrong taking resist energies, unless you really need more damage or another 2.5% e/n defense to softcap or something... even then, I'd probably go with RE.

Conserve Power will prereq laser eyes and physical perfection, which in turn opens up ET from 47. since the only 2 powers he didnt list are CP and PP, I'd gather he has them as the prereqs. to get LE and ET |

The powers were listed just to show what choices I had left, not necessarly what I was considering. I'm a inv/ss tank. I do have tough and weave. I really just want a classic tank build. A character who can take as much damage as he can put out. I just took to long to choose a power and lost my senses. lol Resist was probably the right choice all along and I just didn't see it.
Soon as I hit fifty I'll post my build and see what you guys think.
