Okey dokey here, this build needs some help. First off, are you aware of Enhancement Diversification (ED)? ED limits the usefulness of more than three of the same type of SO-level enhancement in the same power. As such, your resistance armors have a lot of waste in them, as do several other powers. As such, you are vastly over-slotting some powers, while drastically under-slotting others.
Some tips:
1) If you are just using SOs or high-level common IOs, drop your resistance powers to just three slots. You're not getting much use out of the other three enhancements.
2) Lightning Field needs much more slotting. 2 EndRed, 2 Acc, and 2 Dam is what you should be aiming for with just basic enhancements. This is your Taunt aura, so you want it to hit, and you want it to do damage. Since /EM is low on AoE damage, you are going to be relying on this power a lot to hold aggro and do AoE damage over time.
3) Energize should get 5 Doctored Wounds, instead of the Numina's slotting. You'll want the recharge that Doctored Wounds has.
4) You are going 35 levels without an attack that has damage slotting. Slot your basic attacks that you will be using all the time like attacks. 1-2 Acc, 3 Damage, Recharge and EndRed to taste. Especially Barrage, since it now has a nice little -20% Resistance debuff on it. You'll be using that power a lot.
5) Power Sink should get some Recharge slotting.
6) Conserve Power could drop a slot. However, with Power Sink, the usefulness of that power at all should be minimal. Slotting Power Sink for Recharge will do more for you over time than another power pick to basically do the same thing (mitigate endurance loss).
7) Health and Stamina are overslotted. Stamina needs at max 4 slots, and Health about the same.
Those are just the basics. Will offer more suggestions as we fix the build.

Appreciate the advice, I'd been going by a friends build for the longest time and felt it had more potential then what it currently has.

Oh my, are you familiar with ED (enhancement diversification)? The short version is that the enhancement values are SEVERELY reduced after you reach 95% enhancement... the equivalent of 3 SO's in a power. You're wasting a lot of slots on very marginal improvement slotting 6 resistance IO's in your armors. The first three provide ~95% enhancement while the last three are only providing 5% EACH... those slots need to be moved elsewhere.
There's lots I'd question about that build but the single biggest problem is your slotting in your armors. 6 slotting for resistance went away as a valid choice in issue 6 about 5 years ago. You're also slotting some extremely expensive IO's in the Hecatomb and Numina sets but poorly slotting commons in the armors.

I am familiar with ED. I got advice on Tank building from a friend a year or two ago and have pretty much built all my tanks the same way. After running TF for Incarnate salvage and seeing all the other tanks out there way outperforming mine I decided it was time to get some advice from others.

Is the Energy Mastery worth getting or should I go for a different epic?

You'll need to respec your build into something more suited to today's game before you'll really know about your endurance issues. Along those lines you may want to consider 4 slotting all your armors with Reactive Armor and slotting your attacks with either Smashing Haymaker or, if you have the inf, Kinetic Combat. Finish your attacks off with a couple Pounding Slugfest or possibly a level 50 Acc/Dam/End from Crushing Impact. Once you've made these changes and played the character a bit you'll know if endurance is going to be an issue... if it is then unquestionably the Energy epic is the best choice for you.
On my tankers my "default" choice is Pyre unless that tank has end problems... then I pick up Energy.

Took advice that was given and fiddled around with Mid's. Wondering if this build is better or not. I'm not that great when it comes to IO sets and slotting, I try to pick what I think is best so any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Ok, you're overslotting Health; that last heal isn't buying you very much and the slot could be better placed elsewhere.
The Obliteration set is nice for melee defense, but it's pretty light on end reduction... I'd consider using a mix of Eradication/Scirocco for the end bonus and regen bonus.
I'm not a real big fan of using powers as set mules if you've a choice so I'd move the extra slots out of Boxing into Whirling Hands... WH is your only AOE and you've considerably underslotted it. I'd consider slotting the mix of Eradication/Scirocco into WH as well.
Bone Smasher deserves more slots, I'd go with 4 Smashing Haymaker or Kinetic Combat (depending on your finances... the Kin Combat is VERY expensive) and either a pair of Pounding Slugfest or one Acc/Dam/End from Crushing Impact. By themselves both the Smashing Haymaker and Kinetic Combat sets are light on accuracy... so I use 1-2 extra slots in the attacks to solve that problem.
I'd question the slotting of Touch of Death in ET; it's giving you a good melee defense bonus but most of your other slotting is going for S/L defense. You're better off building either positional or typed defense as high as you can (up to the 45% soft cap) than spreading it around.
Along the same line you'll want to get the Steadfast Protection resistance/3% defense unique IO into your build; it's 3% defense to everything in one slot.
I would also move slots out of Char into Fire Blast and Fire Ball; as well as adding at least one more slot to Total Focus. Personally if you aren't slotting out the regen/recovery uniques in Health I'd stay with the base slot there; those slots are more useful elsewhere.
I assume you're intentionally waiting on a travel power until 49; I'd consider getting it at a more traditional level just so I'd have it when exemping down for lower level TF's.
All in all it's better than before, but there's still some rough spots that can be smoothed out. I don't know what your inf finances may be... this will be an expensive build. Many of the Kin Combat IO's sell for over 100 million each, that's why I generally spec the MUCH cheaper Smashing Haymaker set... it only provides half the defense bonus but you could slot 5 full sets of it for much less than a single Kin Combat IO.
Good luck!

If you have 800 million you'll probably have to settle for the Smashing Haymaker sets... you'll never get all the Kinetic Combat IO's for that. Last I looked the cheapest Kin Combat was close to 80 million and most were WELL over 100 million. Since you're looking at 4 sets of 4 IO's each, or 16 IO's total with an average price somewhere south of 100 million each I don't think you can afford them.|

You can easily afford a very good build, you'll just have to leave out the Kin Combat set at least for now. 200 merits MIGHT net you enough inf on random rolls, then again it might not too. You could turn those 200 merits and 80 million into 4 hero merits; I THINK most of the Kin Combat can be bought for 1 A-merit per recipe. That's still quite a ways from what you need.
I'd suggest getting the Steadfast 3% def unique (15 million), the Numina Regen/Recovery unique (100 million) and the Reactive Armor sets. The rest should be fairly inexpensive.

I applied the 32.5% positionals concept(one purp to softcap, cheaper than going for S/L) from my Elec/Fire build on yours. It came out alright, but I'm not sure getting rid of Fireball to reach that level of defense is worth it on EM, which already has AoE DPS issues. I didn't bother with power selection levels for exemping, so keep that in mind. This build is meant for the spiritual alpha(see the slotting for Hasten and Energize).

ok, this a expensive build for Elec/Elec but mite give an idea on what to look for in futre. You just need change your melee to energy and move some slots around. Also granted Energize isnt slotted the best but was nessicary for Soft cap def to S/L/E/N. Im sure there are other out there that could improve on this build but it is my current elec armour build and it goes quite good.

An elec tank with tough is one of the places where at least some of the radical overslotting you have in your first build actually COULD make sense, especially with a +res alpha boost.
I played around with this idea on my elec/fire and eventually respecced into an overslotted build that took me all the way to the SL cap. Overslotting isn't a must do for elec, but it's hardly a bad idea. I found the performance delta was quite significant for me, to the point where I'd say it's a no brainer for the way I play. It's well worth the few extra slots.
Once the very rare cardiac boost is available, less overslotting will be needed to cap, and it wouldn't surprise me if overslotting to cap might change from a good idea to just the way most elec tanks are built.
EDIT: if you happen across the +3 res IO, this all gets easier, but given the price I paid for mine... well, it's not in the bargain bin.
The cake is a lie! The cake is a lie!
I was looking for some pointers on my build. I've done what I think is best as far as overall resistance goes, but was wondering if I've done alright in my slotting and enhancement choices.
