Bots/Traps respec build, for your review

I'm the process of respeccing characters that I either a) can play now without Fitness or b) will shelve until i19.

My Bots/Traps is the former case. I never took fitness, so I'm viewing free Fitness as quite a boon.

I've only ever slotted him with an odd mix of frankenslotting, a few key bonus IOs (LOTG 7.5 for example) and basic IOs. So I've whipped up a build for him. Here's the summary of how it ended up. I went with Chill Mastery for

a) a cheap purple set (sleep). I know the power itself may have little practical use, but still...
b) a Def shield that also took Resist IOs, for an LOTG 7.5 and a Steadfast res/def
c) Hoarfrost - available 1/2 of the time, for almost 1400HP while it's up
d) Hibernate - cause it's awesome

I want to note I'm using Lysosomes in Prot Bots for the +Def bonus. I'm assuming that still works. If so, with a Prot Bot bubble, I'm soft-capped to all position.

With Frozen Armor, I'm at a shade over 36% def to s/l without either Prot Bot bubbles or FFG. This is important because that means I'm a small purple away from soft cap and can function on speed ITFs as a pure Trapper for the cave missions. Usually I leave my MMs at home for speed ITFs, but this guy could still be useful.

The only real problem I have is that Shield Breaker doesn't bring a lot of recharge for Acid Mortar. It's fine, given global recharge, but it's out of sync with PGT.

I'll be going through the same effort for my Thugs/Traps and Merc/Traps. I have a feeling they'll all be quite similar so I'll use this as my template for the others.

So, I went in seeking high def, high recharge, high HP and high regen. I think the build below gets the job done, but any suggestions are appreciated. Perhaps there's a new epic power I'm not considering enough, for example.
