Clobber with just the base slot at 30? Not just no, hell no. It's by far your highest damage attack, take it at 20 and slot it completely.
I'm also a little confused by some of your power choices. Is this tank meant to stay in Granite 100% of the time? I hope so, since I don't think the build is viable for high-level content out of Granite, with such low defense and S/L resistance levels.
Personally, I think the Glad Armor and Shield Wall uniques are a waste of influence since while in Granite you're well above the soft-cap for defense without them.
I also think that Maneuvers is a poor choice; sure, it provides a small amount of defense, but at a high end cost, I think Minerals would be a better choice to give you some defense against Psi.
Lastly, several of your powers are either underslotted or unslotted for end reduction. With this build, you only have .70 EPS for your attacks, not nearly a big enough cushion IMO. That's a problem in particular for Maneuvers, Tough, Weave, Mud Pots and Clobber. I understand that you want high recharge and movement speed, but I wouldn't recommend getting it at the expense of your end bar.

Knight Court--A CoH Story Complete 2/3/2012
I appreciate everyone's advice on the build posted below.
As way of background, Ktonic Titan was created back in Issue 1. It was my first tank and an interesting experience, but not one I enjoyed much after experimenting with other Tankers. He's been shelved for a very long time. However, I have considered reviving him recently, particularly with the possibility of a Very Rare Spirituality down the road.
This is my first time I think exporting a mid's build and asking for advice, so hopefully this works. The mid's build is slightly unrealistic in that it has 5 purple sets and a Shield Wall +Res, which I may or may not actually get depending on how fun I think he is. I think I haven't gimped him much by designing him around recharge set bonuses, although I'd never 5 slot Taunt except for the +recharge in Perfect Zinger. Another anomaly is the Stealth pool. It may be redundant, and it of course goes against some of the Tanker ethos, but I think I'm mature enough to know if/when to use it on a team.
With Granite on and Earth Embrace, he's nearly Res capped for everything but E/Ne/Psi and his typed Def would be 55+.
This build gives him +112.5% recharge, exclusive of Hasten and Granite.
My goal was to create a high recharge (5 5% sets, 5 7.5% IOs, 5 10% sets), faster running (3 slotted Swift, 5 7.5 Run Speed IOs), and high Def/Res tanker.
I'm foregoing Teleport (at least on the build, we'll see about practice).
My choice of Ancillary was so I could slot Hold and Immobilize purple sets only.
