Not a bad build, though I'd change a couple of things.
First of all, the attacks that are 4-slotted with Kinetic Combat are underslotted for Accuracy and Damage, so I'd put another slot in each.
Secondly, IMO it makes more sense to put the Reactive Armor sets in the toggles and Aegis in the passives for a couple of reasons--you definitely want the 4 slot RA bonus and the 4-slot bonus in Aegis is not very useful, and it's better to use 4 slots in toggles because they need end reduction. Plus there's the fact that Aegis goes to 50 and RA only to 40, so you want to use Aegis in situations where you have fewer slots to play with.
Here's the sort of thing I'd do with your build. With the 4th slot in the RA sets you're way over on S/L defense, so I replaced one KC set with Crushing Impact. Believe me, the 4th RA slots will cost much less than what you'll make by selling the KC set.

Not bad thoughts overall Finduilas, but some of the things you've pointed out doesnt quite transfer across to the changes you've made. For instance changing slotting in Autos->Toggles doesnt lower the end-cost, it's actually higher in your build than in the one i've got, with less Recovery and Max End then what i have :P
as for the Kinetic Combat slotting, that's rather intentional, since it's hard to move slots around as it is, and i'm going for the "solid tanker" type of build, he doesnt really need to do more damage than he does (doesnt lack that much compared to one more dam-slot) and accuracy he gets from Alpha too so that's rarely a problem 
Thank you very much for your input though 
*gives cookie* ^^
@EU Brimmy - Union and Exalted servers
The end cost difference between both builds is 0.07 per second. Pretty much completely negligible. The loss of 1.8 total max endurance won't be noticed either. Not only that, but Findulias's build has the attacks slotted for better end management so you will find that the build will use less than you used to. When slotting always remember that attacks > toggles for end reduction.
Yes, the idea behind switching the Aegis and Reactive Armor sets was more slot efficiency than greater end reduction.
And I should have mentioned that I reslotted Shadow Maul and Soul Drain, in part to improve their end reduction. End use of attacks isn't included in the end drain and recovery totals, so it's easy to overlook the effect of underslotting attacks for end reduction.
Damage may not be the primary goal of a tanker build, but it does play a role in aggro control since it increases threat. And I honestly don't see why a tank wouldn't want to fully slot attacks for damage as long as it's not done at the expense of other important build considerations.
Lastly, of course you can keep as many KC sets as you wish, but keep in mind that you will rarely use more than 45% defense, and in cases where you do you will most likely have more available to you with the foe bonus in Invinc.

Why have 3 Luck of the Gambler and an end reduc. in Weave when you could have 4 LoTG?
Personally I never cared for Aegis as a set as I usually 3 slot my dam res powers and the set bonuses for just 3 are crap.
In terms of set bonuses for 3 slotted damage resist powers I'm not too crazy about any res set.

Building up F/C defense may not be top priority for most tanks, but I don't see how that changes the fact that slotting Aegis is an excellent way to get F/C def if you want it.

@EU Brimmy - Union and Exalted servers
Something else to consider would be picking up Maneuvers instead of Hasten to allow greater flexibility with slotting options. Especially with Siphon Life. That power slotted up for max heal, max recharge, high accuracy, high damage, and high end redux is amazing. Getting a 400-500 point heal every 4-5 seconds is amazing when it comes to survivability.
Quote:
50% defense debuff resistance is "little to none"? I think we have a very different definition of the phrase then. I remember very well the time when Invul literally had none, and I've found in practice that even 50% makes a huge difference. Between soft-capped S/L/E/NE defense and the 50% debuff resistance, even situations like the ITF where defense debuffs are rampant pose little threat to a Invul tanker. As a matter of fact, I did the ITF on my Invul/EM at Tanker Tuesday this week and can't remember having a single cascade defense debuff.

I have however made a testbuild, to get a feel for which changes will affect the tank in what ways. And out of the 2 BAF runs i've done so far with only 1 death in each I feel like i'm at least looking in the right direction
*Note* only some minor changes done, havent altered much pre-existing slotting yet

Hey all!
I have an invu/dm tank that I pimped out to my hearts content when he hit 50 but as I have since been involved in other toons so he's kinda fallen into shadow (no pun intented)...
In light of the Incarnate Trials however, I'm hoping to get him back into action since there'll actually be some teaming to be had! I am, however, at a loss of discovering any major improvements to his build.. Which is why I'm now posting here
His DEF is about the only thing that I absolutely do NOT want to drop, soft-cap with only 1 enemy in range is a big key-point to hard AV fights (even though in the trials there are adds etcetc).
The rest I'm not so fussed about.. one of the main thoughts I've had is to change the APP's around, maybe change Fire Blast for Melt Armor to be of more use or maybe change alltogether to make myself even more "Tanky" than I am atm..
So please, have a look and drop a line if you can think of any changes that might improve the build
((Accolades is in progress, Alpha chosen for the extra DEF so I'd prefer keeping that though if the DEF can be made up elsewhere I'm open to change))
