Can't access a link to get the build while at work. The datachunk is key.
General advice, since everyone who posts here these days is very gung ho on defense, you may want to say whether that's your goal or recharge and damage.
Slot all your ranged with Decimation if you want recharge, Thunderstrike if you want ranged defense. All Targeted AoE get Positron, also getting you the 6.25% global recharge bonus. Don't go past 5 of any bonus description or the sixth+ won't work. Your snipe can take a Manticore for 7.5% global, as well as your holds get 7.5% global from Basilisks. CJ, hover, weave, can all take a LotG +7.5% global recharge. This does not count as rule of fives with the Zapp and holds 7.5 as it has a different description in-game.
For defense, little bits all over the place. Others are better at that. Personally, I take Rise of the Phoenix from the Fire epic so I can rez as a nuke every 2 minutes, though you'll rarely die once you can get it.
Thanks for the tips. I did edit my post to include the direction I want to take.
Here is my incredibly hack and flawed slotting of your build. I ran out of slots as on a blaster I like to five slot health with numina unique and heal, Miracle and Regen Tissue uniques, and a common heal. Stamina would get the PS proc and endmod, then a common endmod for the third slot.
I preach Rise of the Phoenix regularly. No need to harp on it again today. 
If you want the extra 7.5 on your Zapp, it can't be in slot 50 as it needs five slots. And unless you're going to use all your powers, you can mule more LotG +7.5%s in the concealment pool. You should take aim and two slot rech commons so it comes up the same time as build up. Fire them both [aim first] and then Tblast, ball, FSC, Burn, whatever makes sense at the time.
Ring of fire is a better ranged attack than most T1s out there. So it should be slotted for attack. All LotG 7.5s should be level 25. I had the problem that mine are in the 40s and 50 last night as I was running an Ouro TF at level 35. Slooow.
Sorry this is so hack:

This is my first clumsy attempt at using Mids' Hero/Villain Designer and I've created an UNSLOTTED electric/fire blaster with cold epic powers. I've based this build upon Eldandil's Elec/Fire AoE Death Machine but I changed some of his choices for powers and when to take them.
Please help me fill in the slotting as I have very little idea about soft-capping and the IO sets. My goal is to get my defense as soft-capped as can be and be an AoE-damage-dealing bad ace.
