First thing I saw was not much res, and second thing I saw is that your end use is more then your recovery.

I already have all of those enhancements and am not going to sell them or invest in tons of respecs to change those.

Use 2 cytos in weave/maneuvers and don't toggle on tough. Will it balance out with the lack of endmod in EA? Not sure...

EDIT: And pack blues for tanking AVs without extra mobs.
