With all that positional defense and shield charge as offense I wouldn't be 6 slotting armours with lotg. I'd sooner slot in some res or +hp for that bit more versus other/all damage types. Taunt is good for facing AVs for teams with different types of defenders. You may wish to tank and spank the same way but if people die about ya, you'll know what is missing. It shouldn't matter what defender is there.


He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.

Shield Defense toggles + Weave + Combat Jumping + Phalanx Fighting + Steadfast Protection 3% defense + Gaussian's should put you at the soft cap. All of your other set bonuses can be recharge or HP bonuses. As pointed out above, you have a lot of wasted slots (also wasted INF) and you can do so much more with the character. You can also get 85%-95% defense debuff resistance and have no need to go past 45% defense.
