Mercs/Traps critique

In a random mood to i19/inherent-stamina-ify my builds, I decided to work on my Mercs/Traps build, to see what I could come up with. My main aim was softcap Smashing/Lethal, then...Well, whatever. I kind of didn't have any other plans. I did manage to softcap it with my build, but I was mostly wondering how badly I managed to mess up my build with my slotting, and if there is anything I could do to keep the softcap but have the build better.

If nothing else, is it better to have 1 interrupt/2 heal/end/rech IOs or 2 interrupt and 1 heal/end/rech IO in Aid Other/Aid Self? Or any other tips?

If you want help with your build I would need to know what you want to do and a rough budget, all-tho with A-merits that's not nearly so much of a prolblem.

As a general rule allmost any MM can solo most paper missions on 0/8.

I also plan on refitting my Merc/Traps with more defense here is what I was thinking of.

Please note this build is NOT fished this is just to give you some ideas.

Budget, as you mentioned, isn't too much of an issue. I pointed out that S/L was my goal, but I didn't really want to take Scorpion Shield, though I suppose taking it would make it easier to cap S/L and still be able to build for other things, but I like having resists on top of defense if I can.
