I think it is better to make a level 50 build and build your character towards it as you level up. Otherwise, you may end up with a power you don't use at 50. Your build looks fine, though. A Gaussian's set would be nice, but set bonuses are hard to get before 50.
I recommend a minimum of three recharge enhancements in Active Defense.

As a mid-game build, he is low on slots and just needs Active Defense to be up all the time. Toward the end-game is when he should consider double-stacking it to achieve 95% defense debuff resistance.

Yes, but he doesn't have enough recharge to have hasten up all the time, and I know that without Hasten, one slot isn't enough to have Active Defense up all the time. Two didn't seem to do it either, but I could be wrong about that. I know three does it with a bit of overlap.
My Shield/SS tank dinged level 30 last night. (Manticore TF here I come!) I decided to try something I don't normally do which is create a build at level 30 to help me get through the next set of levels. What are your thoughts on this build? Will it be the most effective as I try to level this toon up through TFs and duo Story arcs?
