You don't need a separate build for farming and teaming.
Your defense is a bit over the soft cap for melee and AoE. I'm not sure if its because of it being an I18 build, but the toggles were all off when I loaded it into Mids'. Turn anything on that will normally be on by clicking the circles on the right side of the powers so the circle turns green instead of black.
Getting Shield Defense on a Tanker to the soft cap is very easy. First, slot Deflection and Battle Agility with about 55% enhancement bonus. This can be done by slotting 3 regular IOs or 3 set IOs and you can check the enhancement bonus by hovering your mouse over the power. Next, add Weave and Combat Jumping, with two regular IOs' worth of defense enhancements (~50%). Add a Steadfast Protection 3% defense unique and slot your build up or other to-hit buff with Gaussian's Synchronized Fire Control. Add Phalanx Fighting to the build and you're soft capped.
Do not enhance Phalanx Fighting's defense bonus. Grant Cover's defense bonus is also not worth enhancing.
Sorry that I was unclear but I said that the soft cap wasn't a problem.(did forgot the steadfast thing thanks) Maybe you were just trying to tell me the way I could soft cap using the least slots? but then you only suggested one set.
I do not know why the dots were black, I had had then green when I exported it even.
"Do not enhance Phalanx Fighting's defense bonus. Grant Cover's defense bonus is also not worth enhancing. "
I do plan on moving that 2nd slot off GC and I put defense in Phalanx because there is nothing else to and it comes with a slot.
Here's my current I-19 build. I'm not in love with his DPS, but I need to go pylon test.

Ok this is my current build.
I know it has problems like extra slots in stamina but haven't got around to using a free respec before all 3 and only want to do it once.
The 45 IOs are still there because getting 50s just to replace would be of little worth.
Once I respec, I plan one getting One with the Shield. Would like Fire Breath and another ST attack.
Since I need few set bonuses to Soft cap would like to get as much recharge as I can.
If I dropped CP to get stuff in Pyre mastery could I maintain my end with right sets? Would Pyre be that useful in damage? Would I be able to get a full chain with Combustion/FSC/SC that I wouldn't even use it?
Main reason I would like to get pyre is to help fill attack chain, could FB fill that gap better?
This is my farming toon but I don't farm often so would like to be able to do both. Would doing a farm and team build have much benefit to either?
