Hey there Bohmfalk,
I took a shot at getting you more S/L resist and defense without losing any of that recharge you want. Its more expensive but I did do it. This build bumps your S/L/Melee defense to 30%/30%/31.2% and ups your S/L resist to 31.6%, and also gives a touch more recharge for good measure. To do so I made use of kinetic combats and more panacea's. Figured the price may not bother you since you already have a number of them in the build. Take a look and see what you think ... the only thing you really lost that you *may* want to tweak back in is the achilles heel proc which I ended up removing to make the changes. Not sure how useful that was for you at any rate.
Here is the data chunk:

As requested here is that Elec/SD build you wanted me to post. This one is of course not cheap but a very nice farm build. It should have no issues killing mobs in 3-4 hits at +3/x6, using Buildup, Lightning Rod, Shield Charge, then Thunder strike and if anything isn't dead chain induction or jacobs ladder. Then just rinse an repeat.
When I19 hits live I plan to additionally take aid other and aid self slotted each with one Golgi (hammi O) and One with the shield, slotted with one shield wall proc. The build soft caps Melee/ranged and very nearly aoe (not that aoe matters as much). It has perma hasten, good endurance, and 30% S/L resist, 33% when built in i19 with the shield wall proc.
So here it is, tweak it if you want and enjoy:

You can afford to lose some recharge to get more defense bonuses and still have the best attack chain Claws can run, while keeping your perma DP.
You only need 55% global recharge and 3 slotted hasten to have perma DP, so you massively overkilled it in that regard. If you have a downtime on Hasten of 10-15 seconds you will still be in great shape and can squeeze some more defense out of it.
Just food for thought.

Well, I'm focusing on recharge first, so that I can have the least amount of downtime for recon, IH, MoG, etc. Thanks for the tip though, I'll keep that in mind.

I focused on defense on my Claws/Regen, because I don't have the cash for the purples I'd need to get large amounts of recharge. |

Upside to focusing on defense is I don't need to hit my heals quite as often as someone who is all recharge and little or no defense. Couple different schools of thought, but both are valid.
When my most recent incarnation of his build is done I'll be a single small purple away from softcapped on Smashing/Lethal. I also have an above average amount of passive regen, so I can fight minions without having to hit Reconstruction (which lets me save it for when I really need it)

Some very valid points there. Do you solo much? And if you do, what are your normal difficulty settings?

I usually run on +1/x3 or so, just because I lack the patience to get through huge spawns with my Claws/Regen. Works pretty good for me, but I'm pretty sure my build is capable of going higher.

I know what that's like. My son's just over 5 months. With my claws/regen, I've been able to do +1/x6 effectively without dying or having any downtime.
