I'm gonna spare you the "go for the +defense and perma DP instead" speech, because I'm guessing you probably knew about that already.
If you want to get more regen, you could get 3 ranged ST attacks from an APP and slot them with 2 devastations and 2 apocalypse each. Also, get another slot in Health for a Heal IO. All that should get you about 90% more regen.
If you didn't know that softcapping your invuln will likely be more effective, I'd advise you to go here:

in terms of APP power choices, i guess for me it really depends on whether shiver is worth it mitigation-wise. he's almost 44, so i'll play around with shiver before i decide to take it in the final build, otherwise i'll take ice blast and slot like chilblain is now, and the 4 slots on chilblain with devastation/volley fire (another entropic chaos will break rule of 5). reminder - non-purple build at this point.
i think ice storm will help in the AoE dam/control department more, not to mention the +6.75 rech from a posi's blast set. so unless ice storm ends up being completely useless to me, i plan on taking it.
adding a slot into health from RPD increased my regen to 374% while barely denting my S/L resist, and the shiver to ice blast change increased my regen to 390% (an increase of ~2.5 HP/s with DP up).
i also looked at taking a slot from unyielding and adding it to ET, and replacing the 3 crushing impacts with 4 kinetic combats (CI barely gives me anything... recovery i don't need and a meager amount of +HP)... i just don't like the acc numbers on ET now (although i have an extra +18% acc), but i now have 26.2% S/L def v. 22.4% before (40.3 v. 36.5 w/ invincibility capped - an increase of around 30% damage avoidance).

my plan for this build is max +regen , but not necessarily going for perma-DP.
i can get a regen of 358% or 52.48 HP/s with DP on. i put +regen in every power that i could. (no pvp or purples though)
after +regen, i went for +recovery and +end, but then took some back when i exceeded the 5 rule, and also went for a few +rech and psi resist/def bonuses after that. (swapped out a part of tempered readiness in ice storm for the 5th posi).
i also realized i missed the steadfast protection resist/+def global, and i'd put that in resist elements in place of the damage resist IO. i like the impervium armor sets for the recovery and psi def and resist they can provide, esp if i slot 3. the 4th provides +end, but i might not need it and was wondering what i could get for the slots in TI and Unyielding that would compensate for losing the damage resist (most likely from the triple).
i also like my powers slotted with at least 2 SOs acc and near ED capped damage, although you can see i've made a few minor compromises on that already.
any ideas on what else to tweak so that i keep most or all of my +regen and keep at least 2+ end/s net gain?
