Slotting your toggles + CJ + Weave + Steadfast 3% defense + a Gaussian's set should put you at the soft cap. That is the most efficient way to do it on a Shield Tanker. That saves you a lot more slots for recharge or whatever other bonuses you like. You could easily reach perma-Hasten without purple sets because of how easy it is to soft cap Shield Defense.
It may be a good idea to slot Tough and Deflection better for resistance. Every bit helps you survive longer.
The 6th Crushing Impact doesn't give you a useful bonus.
Regenerative Tissue is a 120s duration proc and should not be in One With the Shield.
Slotting 2 Membranes in Active Defense (and 1 more reacharge if needed) can help you reach the defense debuff resistance cap.
You should not need to chase after recovery bonuses. With Stamina slotted well, the two +recovery uniques, and Physical Perfection, you won't need any extra recovery.

Syntax42 has pretty much nailed it - cap with a set of Gaussians and then go for recharge.|

Personally I slot 3 membranes in AD.
L50s: Tanks: Cryofission - Ice/EM - Dr Celsius - Fire/Ice - Saint George - SD/SS | Controllers: Psichosis - Ill/Kin - Major Chaos - Ill/Stm | Scrappers - Neutron Crusader - DM/SR
Currently Levelling: Angelic Blade - BS/WP Scrapper | Seeds of Destruction - Plant/Kin Controller
I have a taunt:rechg ratio figure for taunt, because taunt can be resisted that I don't drop below and so would suggest taking some "3rd of the same basic IO" somewhere that shaves of something unmissable and just adding it to taunt.
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.
I'm just coming back after a long break, so I've got some new powers to pick. This is what I've put together, and I'd appreciate any suggestions:
