How does one say this nicely? Scroll down about 7 or 8 posts and go with one of the Electric/SS builds there. Building for resistance is completely counter-productive and the things you have sacrificed to do that have all but completely gimmped this character.

Your build focuses on regeneration and recharge. The regeneration helps. However, I think if you're not fighting mobs that inflict energy damage, the incoming attacks can most likely overwhelm your regeneration in a team situation. And in order to acquire the regeneraion bonus, you're slotting your powers not in a way that they should be slotted. For example, jab and knockout blow are not slotted like attacks. I think you can get more mileage by optimizing your build with defense bonus, and some additional regeneration and recharge.|

For your power choice, I think it's mostly ok. The only thing is energy mastery. Since electric armor has power sink and energize, so conserve power is not useful. The recovery component of physical perfection is also not useful for the same reason. I believe you pick it just for the regeneration from physical perfection, which is in fact pretty low. I think you can pick whatever ancillary/patron power pool you like, but maybe energy mastery is not the best choice for ela/ss.
For your slotting, as mentioned above, jab and knockout blow should be slotted as attacks. It looks a little weird that you choose to slot your resistance toggles with just generic IOs, while the rest of your build uses sets. I'm not sure that you would like so much knockback for your haymaker, and 6-slotted stamina is probably a bit too much. I believe most of these decisions are for the regeneration and recharge bonuses. Lastly, note that you have more than 5 10% regeneration bonus, so you're not getting the 6th one.
I modifed your build and optimize it for defense bonus.

I guess what I'm really wondering here is whether the regen bonus this build has will mitigate the fact that the resistances aren't as close to capped as I'd like.
Of course, any other critique is very welcome as well.
