Have fun with the defense debuffs.
I prefer S/L defense on /Regen scrappers. My reason being: Machine guns debuff defense, and there are a LOT of machine guns in the game. Your melee defense is completely useless against a machine gun, but lethal defense would work. Since /Regen has no debuff resistance of any kind, a couple guys with machine guns will strip away all your defense in a hurry, including the melee defense you devoted so many slots to.
Other than that your build looks okay. Nothing stellar, but nothing especially questionable either. Overall seems fairly solid.
Dark/Regen isn't a bad combo, but one of the reasons to take Dark Melee (self-heal) is redundant for a /regen.
Personally, I'd opt for a combo that has 2 things going for it:
A little more high end survivability. Dark/Regen will have a helluva time against AVs without ridiculous levels of recharge. You can't really get enough defense on them to make an AV miss consistently, and AVs resist to-hit debuffs strongly.
More AoE. You have exactly one AoE attack in your primary, and it's a 5 target cone. It will take you forever to get through missions on higher difficulties if you have to punch everything out one at a time.
Maybe Katana or Broadsword/Regen or DM/SR or /Shield (I dislike shields with no weapon, but I won't deny DM/Shield is a powerful combo)
Edit: Put a Performance Shifter Chance for +End in Stamina. It's not unique and will give you more benefit than a single end mod enhancement.

Okay I took your suggestion and changed the power set to kat. I'm standing at 35 S/L with 62.5 recharge. The build seems good to me but it might need some slots moved around, any thoughts, thanks

The dark/regen was missing half the attacks. No Shadow Maul? This is a key power of the set.

OMG!! Please add these costume designs now!
Eh. I don't really prefer L/S defense on my Regen builds. With typed defense, you get outstanding defense to those debuffs and mediocre defense to increasingly common stuff that hurts a Regen running Tough worst. I prefer consistent positional defense to everything with the risk of -defense from certain mob factions to inconsistent defense that often varies by mob within late-game factions. While you do suffer from ranged defense debuffs with positional defense (Longbow and Malta can suck for this), you suffer from ranged energy and negative attacks with L/S defense. Also, particularly late game and in Incarnate content, even less ranged stuff is typed L/S.

Hello, how does this build look? I used someone elses build as a base but switched the primary for extra survivability, I think atleast(-tohit stacks with the melee def I have, and it has a self heal, not to mention perma soul drain). Anyways post ways I can improve on it and if anyone thinks dark/regen is a bad idea let me know why and give me another prmary suggestion please
