After reading around the forums on regen feedback in general, I'm seeing more and more that people recommend heavy recharge bonuses. While I still haven't squeezed hasten into the build yet, I did drop a couple percentage points out of S/L defense to put a lot more recharge into the click powers in the regen set. Here's how it's looking now:

You're probably going to want to go for Melee defense rather than S/L defense. It is a bit more reliable than s/l defense. Also a PvP Fire/Regeneration build focuses on recharge>hp>recovery>regeneration in that order. Fire/Regeneration is incredibly powerful in PvP but you'd be best to just go with regular common invention IOs for a while so you can learn how to PvP. Its a lot different than PvE.
Here is a link to my fire/regen build for PvE

And this one is for PvP: it has a lot of builds in there.

Thanks for the quick and informative reply! Your build does have a lot of what I'm looking for to draw inspiration from, although it hasn't been updated for inherent fitness. Not really a big issue, but any advice on what to fill those empty powers with would also be welcome.
I played around with your suggestions and redid the build several more times, and ended up with this:

I'm quite happy with where it is right now. It's not quite melee capped, but with Shadow Meld on such a short recharge, it shouldn't be too much of a problem. I ended up going heavy on recharge after all. I had to move some slots around to get the accuracy bonuses from LotG. I wanted to fit some crushing impacts in, but after dropping scorch, I found I wasn't quite able to do that without dropping all the melee defense from touch of death. I slotted the snipe mainly for the attractive set bonuses, but I don't know how often I would use a snipe.
With a Recharge/healing alpha, most of the gaps I left in should be filled. The accuracy and tohit are a bit on the low-end, but Build Up should help out. Perhaps an accuracy/defense alpha could be used instead. Any feedback on this new build would be appreciated.

Build Up will help a bit, but only when it's running. Unless you're totally dead set on having 2 travel powers, I'd drop one (Super Speed for me), turn that into Tactics, move all 6 pieces of Gaussian's into Tactics and leave Build Up with a single Recharge IO. (I know, I know, you probably need both for PvP) Now you have a good bit more +To Hit with Tactics and the Gaussian's: Chance for Build Up now can fire at any time, not just when Build Up is recharged and good to go. This is how my DM/Regen is set up (Course, I don't have Build Up but I can't think of a single character of mine with more than 1 slot in Build Up outside of maybe a Blaster or two).
Oh, and the Spiritual tree of Alphas are absolutely amazing on /Regen. My DM/Regen won't be using anything else. The +Recharge is quite noticeable even with only 1/3 of the boost ignoring ED and the +Heal is just icing on the cake, again, even with only 1/3 of the boost ignoring ED. I can't wait to see what effect the Rare and Very Rare version of the Spiritual Alpha will bring to my /Regen.

I've always been a fan of the SS/SJ combo, but you're right; Tactics would probably be a better use of the Gaussian set, and I still have the endurance to spare. I prefer SJ as a travel power, but SS has its uses when stealthing missions. I'm not sure where this build stands right now on hit chance against say +4 mobs.
Quote:
To see accuracy against +4 mobs, options -> configuration -> exemping & base values -> base tohit = 39. Make sure that if you put the Gaussian set in Tactics, you remove the proc when checking the accuracy, or it will count both Tactics and the proc.

Good reason for it: Machine guns.
Machine guns are the single most common defense debuff in the game. They are flagged Ranged/Lethal, so you could have 1,000% melee defense and it won't stop that gun from hitting you.
2-3 guys with machine guns hit you and all that melee defense goes away in a hurry with nothing you can do about it, because /Regen doesn't have any defense debuff resistance at all.
With S/L defense, at least you can make it more difficult for those machine gunners to take away all that defense you built up with IOs. It will still happen, just not as fast.
I switched my Claws/Regen from Melee to S/L and am noticing a world of difference when fighting Council, Malta, Crey, and any of the other enemy groups that have a lot of machine gun users.

Dark/Shield Build Thread
I forgot about the machine gunners' defense debuff. Are there any melee attacks in the game that do not have a smashing or lethal component? Touch of Death has a couple nice set bonuses, but it lacks recharge and accuracy. If I focus on S/L defense I can 4 slot Kinetic Combats and then shore up the weak spots with other sets.
Also, thanks Werner for pointing out the tohit values for me. That will really help all my character builds in general.
Here's how it looks when I make sure that I can hit +4 mobs with 95% accuracy (with tactics on minus the proc). I also moved the defenses back to S/L instead of melee, but I'm still about 10% short of softcap. I didn't want to drop any of the recharge bonuses I had, and the only way I could see to get close to the softcap would be to put in more Reactive Armors and another Kinetic Combat set, which wouldn't be possible because I dropped Scorch. Feedback on this newer build is very much appreciated. You guys have been tremendously helpful so far!

Notable exceptions would be Midnight Grasp and Siphon Life, so whatever you do, don't try to solo Nosferatu
And on the rare occasion you run across a melee attack that has no S/L component....you're a frigging Regen!!! Heal it back!

If you don't plan on using moonbeam, and you can sacrifice that recharge, you could switch the manticore set for a siphon insight for another 3.75% s/l defense (and some more accuracy).
I'd also do something with tactics and BU... either flip the slotting or drop the gaussians altogether or something. BU has a crappy recharge and that gaussian 6 set isn't doing too much for you defensively.

I'm very thankful for all the advice, everyone. You've really helped me turn this build completely around and still fulfilled all the criteria I was looking for! Instead of taking moonbeam, I've replaced it with Dark Blast for a more consistent tohit debuff that I can throw into an attack chain if I need a quick ranged attack. The S/L def is back at 40.3%, which is good enough for me. Here's how it looks now:

I've been trying to settle on a new scrapper build and I wanted to try something uncommon, but still powerful. I've never given fire melee a chance, and I hadn't leveled a regen character very far once WP came out. Originally I was going to go with /SR, but I later settled on the idea that I could try to softcap defenses on regen instead and have better luck that way.
Some things to note beforehand:
Have at it! Any feedback from experience is much appreciated:
