As far as I know, the tanker version of KM is identical to the scrapper version, though of course you'd get most of your attacks later, in some cases quite a bit later.|

Mace definitely has more AoE than Kinetic Melee. KM has one PBAoE, one cone, (which many players don't take because of the KB) and one ranged ST attack. As you know, Mace as one true PBAoE and two cones, one of which is so wide it's almost a PBAoE.
I've only played KM to level 20, but it's my impression that although like Mace it has some Stun and some KD, it doesn't have as much reliable damage mitigation as Mace. Mace has one guaranteed stun and three high-probability KD/KU attacks, and unless they're all last few attacks I haven't seen that in KM. (I'm not counting Repulsing Torrent since I avoid KB whenever possible.) I'm happy to be corrected if I'm wrong, however!

The last power, Concentrated Strike, has a Stun and in the Scrapper version has a 20% chance to instantly refresh Power Siphon instead of critical hit. Does the Tanker version have a chance to refresh Power Siphon?

Power Siphon (Scrappers) or Buildup (Stalkers). It doesn't have
