You know, if I was willing to spend that much on my shields/SS (I'm not) I might look at softcapping for the endgame, where the Praetorians are sporting a 64% to-hit chance.
Hitting 59% on positionals is very doable on a shields tank, but it won't do nearly the damage your tank would. Opportunity costs, you know.
For your build - I would swap the Hecatomb proc into Jab. It cycles faster, giving the proc more chances to fire off.

-Don't just rebel, build a better world, comrade!
Here's what I'm working on for my SD/SS, I don't have as many purples in my build and no PvP enhan. Might not be anything that your looking for but it might give you ideas on other things

I just did a minor respec and I thought I'd throw it up to see what y'all think.
Instead of going for +HP/regen bonuses like a lot of the SD builds I've seen recently I opted to primarily drive dps/recharge as high as possible after softcapping def and permacapping DDR. I still have no trouble tanking any of the current content, but I am a tank who is never above guzzling inspirations, popping Archmage, using temps and/or making sure at least 1 or 2 of my teammates can buff/debuff when it comes time to face real big threats like Recluse. Pumping out over 200 single target dps and a ton of AoE makes it worth it to me.
The one change I already expect to be recommended is to include OwtS but I will say after playing with it extensively in the past I just can't fit it. The end crash can be extremely dangerous if you get slightly sloppy on an SS with double rage and hasten crashes to deal with already. I also simply don't like the 2 minutes up 4 minutes down dynamic very much. I understand and have felt that capping s/l and hp for that time can be very powerful but for me, personally, I don't have a strong enough need nor enough room for it.
That said if any of you mids' wizards see room for optimization in either the survivability or dps department without losing a significant amount of the other then I'm all ears. Thanks for looking!
