It looks like you posted your build twice. Also, the long forum export is not necessary. Most people use the data link or data chunk to view the build in Mids'.
You should only need 45% defense. With Active Defense double-stacked, you will have over 80% defense debuff resistance. With 2-3 Membranes in Active Defense, you can hit 95% defense debuff resistance.
The most efficient way to hit 45% defense on a Shield Tanker is to slot your toggles and Weave, add Combat Jumping, a Steadfast Protection 3% defense, and a Gaussian's set. That leaves plenty of slots for adding recharge, +max HP, or regeneration bonuses, which should be taken in that priority.
Deflection should be slotted for resistance as well as defense.
True Grit should be slotted for healing first, then resistance if you have the extra slots.
Against All Odds does not need taunt enhancements. It holds aggro fine, even on a Scrapper. One endurance reduction is enough.
Taunt power has some nice sets, and a 4-slot recharge bonus from one set. It is nice to slot, but optional if you use the slots elsewhere.
Phalanx Fighting gives 5% unenhanceable defense with no allies nearby. You will often be tanking with no allies (other melees) in range, so don't depend on that portion to hit the soft cap. Therefore, only slot a Luck of the Gambler: Global Recharge or Kismet: To-Hit in Phalanx Fighting.
Grant Cover is required if you want to hit 95% defense debuff resistance.
One With the Shield is overslotted. Also, it is a crashing power, meaning you lose 90% of your HP when it ends. Don't depend on it, and don't turn it on when planning your build. Many people don't even take it, unless to slot a 3% defense IO.
Total Focus is your second best attack for both total damage and damage per second, but you didn't even slot it.
I would suggest dropping the Leadership pool completely. Assault doesn't add much damage, especially with Against All Odds already buffing your damage. You won't need Maneuvers to soft-cap. Picking up Aid Self might help you stay alive when tanking solo. Some people don't like the interrupt. It does take some practice to use it well.
You didn't take an epic pool. Focused Accuracy is a good place to slot the Gaussian's set, and Physical Perfection adds more endurance recovery.
Here is a skeleton build for you, if you feel like building off of it. Just change the melee set to your choice and pick or rearrange the powers to get your desired attacks in. After that, add recharge, HP, and regeneration set bonuses as you see fit.

Thnx for the input and good to know about uploading builds to forums. I was hoping for more input so far the combination of the last 2 replies has help greatly. With Focused accuracy...couldnt this also be acheived with Build up?
