Going for 45% S/L defense is great with Elec Armor, but going for the softcap on anything other than S/L is usually a waste, and the slots would better be spent getting more recharge, HP, and regen. Recharge in particular is something I see lacking in your build, as Elec/Elec really thrives on high recharge(Lightning Rod, Power Sink, Chain Induction, PPP/APP AoE attacks like Ball Lightning).
Other notes... Lightning Clap is a bad power(KB is bad 95% of the time), and Energize needs more slots.

I'm in the process of leveling up my Electric/Electric Scrapper too. I'm at 37 but having a ton of fun right now. My goal is to achieve the Positional Defense Softcap. Ideally the positionals & S/L as well as a 60+ Resist. Not sure if that is possible. Slotting at a premium for one, influence for another.
Right now, I have Speed (Hasten), Leaping (Combat Jumping), Flight (Fly) and Fighting (Boxing, Tough, Weave) as my Power Pools. I am thinking I'll need to invest into my Pools much more smartly if I want to achieve my goals.
That being said, here is my 'current' build to 50 (and the potential IO sets) if I were to maintain the current build.

What Alpha power are you going to be going after?
I chose Spiritual to go along with the high Recharge build I have in mind. That allows the build to get within 2 seconds of perma-Energize, which affords some incredible Regeneration and Endurance Reduction. Single target chain would probably be something like Chain Induction>Charged Brawl>Havoc Punch>Charged Brawl repeat.

That said, if you were to get all positional defenses to softcap, I wouldn't worry about the S/L Defense.
If you got the S/L Defense to softcap, I wouldn't worry about the positionals either.
I'd suggest picking one, and going for it.
On my Spines/Electric, I focused on Melee Defense, and didn't worry to much about any of the others. But that's Spines Primary, and going after S/L Defense is harder to do with so few worthwhile single target melee attacks.
Electric Armor has some decent Resists and a decent self-heal, and Power Drain works wonders on Minions - Boss level enemies for survival purposes.

whoa this is crazy, your thinderstrike has no slotted damage, I guess you don't plan on using it. And why even take powers like Energy Torrent and then slot it with something that costs a few hundred million influence?
I know this is the scrapper form but here is my extreme Electric/SS Tank build with perma Energize and Foot Stomp in under 5 secs and perma Hasten only 2 slotted.

I've wanted to do an elec/elec character for awhile now, but I already have a tank, so I thought i'd try the scrapper route. However, hearing all the good things about softcapping defense, I tried to do it with this build, without gimping a scrappers main job of damage.
I managed to cap S/L and melee, as well as boost HP and regen. Am I underestimating the usefullness of ELA's awesome resistances? Or is defense the way to go for ultimate survivability?
Also, let me know if the damage numbers aren't up to par, this is my first scrap.
Appreciate any thoughts & advice!
