In Health I'd go with Miracle, then Numina's then the Panacea ... you don't need any of these when your Auras are up, they all pale by comparison. When your Aura's are down you'll be wanting +recovery first and foremost. Personally I'd be unlikely to devote any slots beyond the base to Health on a team oriented build and it would get the Miracle.

As you say get Cosmic Burst solidly ED capped for the damage first then worry about anything else. It hits like a freight train ... make it do so. I like 5 Apocalypse and the Stun (or Stun/Endred) Absolute Amazement here. If nothing else 5 Decimations and a Stun or proc here.

If you need slots for something both HA and HO do fine with just 5 slots.

I couldn't play mine without some sort of -kb protection. Unless I missed it (the datalink doesn't seem to work for me for i19, data chunk works fine though) I didn't see any.

I'd probably not use the GSFC in Aim ... I'd rather have it back quickly and hence slot for recharge in some fashion, Membrane, To Hit/Rech from Adj Targeting, or the GSFC triple (or even just a straight up Recharge IO). Likewise slot to emphasize Endred over Recharge in Tactics, a Cyto works very well here. I'd be rather tempted to 4 slot Tactics and 3 slot PBU (emphasizing the rech in PBU of course). Minimum slots might be 3 Cyto's in Tactics and 3 Membranes in PBU. Whether the investment in those 6 HO's is worth it is a much more personal choice and of course lacks any set bonuses.

Slot Endred over Defbuff in Stealth. The value of the defense is minimal compared to other +def choices or when your Auras are up. And the end cost if using it to stealth a mission or whatnot is probably of more (if again fairly trivial) value. Or maybe this would be a good place for a -kb Karma or another LotG +7.5%

Few randoms thoughts for you, hope it helps.

I have to agree about the slotting for aim...the proc has a 5% chance of going off when you activate, which means once every 20 activations, and even then it is a SHORT buff. I have it slotted in FA on my scrapper, and even with an autopower I rarely actually notice the build up.

Don't mistake coincidence for fate.

The Gaussian's proc is definitely better placed in a click power than in a toggle. If it's in a toggle then it's very likely to go off when you don't need it, whereas in aim or build up you can be pretty sure that when it goes off it'll be at a time when you want it.

Also, the panacea +hp proc will cause green healing numbers to fly over your head randomly. If that sounds annoying or obnoxious to you, then you should replace it with something else.

I pulled back the build's usage of defense debuffing. As long as tactics is running you'll have a 95% chance to hit +4 enemies, and defender tactics should be strong enough to get your teammates up to that same level of accuracy. I also switched invisibility with vengeance. You'll hit the stealth cap using stealth + the stealth proc, so the power won't be useful and vengeance can take the same slotting that invisibility had.

10.9% defense to melee and ranged, 15.6% area, 1319 hit points (with accolades), 93.75%
recharge bonus, capped final to-hit against +4 enemies.
