What kind of budget are we working with? What are your goals for the Tanker?

Softcap S/L/E/N defense, which is pretty easy if you take tough/weave and CJ or hover. After that, +hp/regen/recharge.

I don't have a lot of money on each toon, but I have a lot of toons, so I can probably go with a mid-range budget. I want to be able to tank the new content without too much difficulty, and thats about it.

This, and try to get Hoarfrost perma'ed if you can afford the recharge bonuses. Alignment merits will help you get Luck of the Gambler recipes which you can use, or sell to buy other recipes. Basically, anyone can easily afford all but purple recipes with alignment merits.

Also... take the time to go Red and pick up Soul Mastery for Darkest Night. Four slotted with Dark Watcher you get some nice bonuses and the power will give off a 15% tohit debuff to stack with your defense. In addition, it has a 21% damage debuff which will stack with Chilling Embraces 14% damage debuff. However it's pretty taxing on the blue bar so Cadiac Alpha is recommended for this route.
Only way I can see not going this route is concept reasons...

Gloom is one of the best single-target attacks available to Tankers in terms of damage per activation time, so going Soul Mastery will at least get you something useful for all situations.

Agreed, but it is great for tanking large spawns. I usually toggle DN on AVs anyway, but it does add up if teammates are also using -tohit powers. |

And Gloom is great. Allows my Ice^2 tank kill bosses way faster than before.
