What's a good survivability goal for /invuln?

I'd be satisfied with those numbers. My other concerns would be your accuracy versus +4s, if you can run at least the BF -> AV chain, and if your endurance is sustainable over a long time.

Depends on how much survivability you want, really, and what you have to give up to get there. Those aren't quite class-leading numbers, but they're very good. The resists seem quite good to me. If you're thinking of Barrier, I'd drop back a bit on the smashing/lethal resistance. But I might be thinking rebirth at this point.

What's your build? Show us the goods! 
I'd push for more F/C/E/N Defense, but I don't know if you'd have to sacrifice anything for it.

A good survivability goal?
I wanna come crawling out of the crater where the dinosaur-killing asteroid hit, ready for moar.
Awwwww, yeah.
rebirth would be pretty sweet but ageless with its def debuff recharge and end recovery look good too

I think Ageless will be quite good for a number of builds. Taking proper advantage of it, though, may "require" rebuilding around greater endurance consumption. That's what I did when I took my Cardiac Alpha. I was just barely endurance sustainable before, and I'm just barely endurance sustainable now with the tier 4. It's what you spend that extra endurance on that matters - can you get more out of that extra endurance than you could get from one of the other options?|

For some people with the Cardiac Alpha, Ageless may also be an alternative to that, allowing you to slot a different alpha. For instance, take Ageless and pick up Spiritual instead of Cardiac for big recharge.
I went Barrier myself. I have endurance covered, more recharge isn't huge for me, and while debuff protection is nice, just straight defense and resistance is even nicer.

My /inv gets capped on S/L when there's 3 guys around her, and that's w 70.4% resist S/L on top of that.
This is just with Haymakers, Reactive Armor, and a Multistrike set. [aka, dumpster diving]
She can't be killed unless I do something stupid.
What makes you survive as an /inv is taking Physical Perfection and putting the Performance Shifter unique in both it and Stamina. You'll need it. Your toggles are your life.

I just aim to survive long enough to kill the dudes before the dudes kill me.

This is my current db/inv build. It has thousand cuts in it which isnt optimal but I like it to complete sweep combo and to give a extra attack if i need it. It has similar stats to the OP but less s/l and more c/f defense.
