For AE farming, some fire defense and tons of recharge is the best way to go. Fire defense ensures you can take more damage on fire-based maps. Recharge ensures your biggest attacks are up more often. In Mids', look at the set bonus finder to see which sets give the most recharge or fire defense.
Here's what I use. No purples or HOs, but a few expensive pieces. It has great recharge, over 20% fire defense, and a couple slotted single-target attacks for taking down bosses at the end. At 20% fire defense, you can pop two purple insps and softcap in farms. With T3 or T4 Spiritual Alpha and one or two Footstomps every 60 seconds (you should use it a LOT more than that), Hasten will be permanent and Rage capable of double-stacking at all times.

I don't really see why you would need Fire def, your capped on Fire resist if you take Temp protection, so your not really going to have to worry about fire damage. I prefer to go for S/L def on my SS/Fire, but really if your running a fire farm, you don't need much more then whats there. With high recharge and using the insp drops you get, you can get by with just your resists and healing flames. So for a farm only build, you just want to IO for recharge. My SS/Fire is my main, and is used on a wide range of things, so I went for near capped S/L Def, and good but not great recharge, gets a bit of both worlds.
Even with 90% res a large +4 ambushs with enough bosses in it will still be able to kill you. But thats what purples insp are for.

Inf is not an issue.
