'Best' PvE Generalist SS/FA Build
Doesn't seem bad on ST, Rage will help you hit even with Kinetic Combats' low acc and Punch/Hay have low recharge already.
You could raise your defs overall by removing one slot from Blazing Aura and slotting weave better, or losing 5% rech and slotting BA with 3 eradications (triple, quad, damage) and a 50 dam/end from some set. I might be mistaken but I don't think the PF proc gives you end from attacks.
A lot of it depends on the player. I prefer to cover my defense for pure energy attacks because they are so common at 50 and in incarnate trials. Some people may not like having low defense, but I just use two inspirations to soft-cap.

I made some changes (like your BA suggestion) and ended up with less recharge but more e/ne def and more recovery.

I would like to mention that ANY (decent) content SS/fire build would in fact be a great general build. Hell, i PvP with mine, i play the main tank, i solo GMs, solo TFs, and it can even farm pretty damn well (not as good as my pure farming build though).

I know ultrawatt but I am bored and feel like number-crunching for the 'optimal' PvE SS/FA. Its a 'One Build to rule them all' kind of thing. Plus I enjoy seeing what other, perhaps more creative folk, come up with.
The Brute Community seems well versed in creating specialized SS/FA builds to accomplish many of the PvE tasks available to us (farming, solo TFs, etc.) but I was wondering what the 'best' generalized PvE build might look like. The build that could do everything at least 'second-best' to a specialized build.
You can find my attempt below (please ignore power order and slotting levels, I started off a Neogumbercules build).
I think it will farm well but think it may be a bit ST light for say Solo MoITF and is missing Taunt and stacked stealth.
Build I'd love to see (but don't think exists):
