Looking to bring my Emp/psi Def to PvP

First let me say Kudos!!!! Its refreshing to see someone post a build with reasonable HP, Travel Slotting, KB protection and things like that, as its mentioned in just about every "Looking to get into PvP" thread.
That being said, I'm not sure the results you are going to get using empathy and psy blast together, hoping for an offensive toon.
The set bonuses you have are put together well, but (and its just my opinion) if you are going to build an emp defender, it should probably be for a support role. Missing out on AP, CM, and RA are sort of cornerstone powers to the build.
Beyond that, you are going to be facing off against (in zones, as you said standing under Atlas) Scrappers, Stalkers, Dominators and blasters, all of which greatly out damage you. Going after them is going to leave you with a pretty sad KDR. However, building more for support with a few attacks thrown in and finding a buddy or a team would go a long ways to making you more effective as well as those around you.

Thanks! Guess it just shows that I actually read as much as I could here to find the tips and tricks! That and listened and tried to absorb all i could while getting creamed in Sirens and RV with various toons. Also, I didn't want to post here saying "Help me! i need a build", without actually trying to do a little of the leg work!|

Back to the drawing board, but not just for my emp, i have a sonic/em collecting dust that might fair a little better in the zones!

(editted to add revised build)
I ditched the snipe, veng, and total focus. I may shuffle the powers around to get Regen aura around level 26 and shift everything else.

A bunch of toons! (Freedom, Virtue, and a few on Infinity)
depends what you want to do - I know people who have done pretty well in 1v1 with an emp psi..but if you want a viable team toon then yah all the emp powers - res - you can go several routes - with fitness inherant you can use the ranged dmg powers to boost your hp or take the medicine pool and boost your +heal...it's pretty easy to build now with the fitness inherent.
here you go bro this should do you good for an emp with the current pvp situations.

Greetings all.
I have not PvP'd very much in this game, but I am starting to! My Emp/Psi defender is one of my oldest toons and I figured I might enjoy getting him killed alot (well, at first at any rate). Please critique my build and any and all advice is welcome! (yes, including standing under atlas and shouting "Can someone show me a fast way to the Hospital?")
I do not have all of the accolades yet, but I am working on them.
Thanks in advance!!
