In general when posting builds for feedback it's good to post the short form of the build as well so that those of us without access to Mids at the moment can look at your build as well.

Power picks:
Power Sink without Blackstar? You're making me pout. I'm not sure Power Sink serves any purpose in this build other than nuke recovery.
Or, since you're not hovering or flying, you can master the secret leapfrog joust technique for reverse knockback, so you could add either Gale or Torrent and start training, grasshopper.
With Lightning Clap and Dark Pit, Shocking Bolt is meh except for Hamidon raids. I'd drop that in favor of either Blackstar or a knockback. Maybe drop O2 Boost too if you don't like it enough to 2-slot it.
Slotting:
Unusual Tenebrous Tentacles slotting, but has potential. To get the most out of those procs, get some range and recharge in the two non-proc slots. A HO-Centriole (Dmg/Range) and a Ragnarok-Dmg/Rech/Acc, perhaps. Range in TT is terribly underappreciated; once you try it, you won't know how you got by without it.
Stamina probably won't need that many slots.

Blackstar: If I'd use the nuke it would be mainly for it's massive ToHit debuff. However, I can do enough debuffing without crashing my End bar (not fond of re-toggling).
Power Sink: I could skip Power Sink, but it comes out handy every now and then. I might drop it if I go Cardiac - hence why I'm asking for comments here.
Gale - I used to have it for mob positioning. However O2 Boost turns out to be quite more useful as it is a decent power for status protection purposes.
TT: I understand that range is a good think on such power. However, I do spend most of my time close to the mobs (or even in melee range).
Shocking Bolt: It's only there for the easy +def bonus. If I'd drop it I'd probably get Assault instead.
Stamina: I could drop the EndRec IO. Especially if I go Cardiac or keep Power Sink.
Anyway, it was just a build I threw up together in a few mins. It still needs tweaking. I'll try and come out with a revised build.

Here's another version. It still has Power Sink since I've added two leadership toggles. Again, this is the only bit I'm not so certain. It all depends on the incarnate I choose (still catching up with all that new stuff).
I might enjoy this build a bit better than the previous one. I've always thought Assault was lovely power on a Defender.

This (the second post) looks like a perfectly acceptable build. I disagree with Rigel about Power Sink (especially if you're planning on running two leadership toggles) and find I can usually use all of the endurance I can get.
I would probably work harder on hitting a single defense soft cap, (ranged in general) rather than spreading the bonuses between all types, but that's hardly necessary.

Hello. My stormy, while still very playable, needs an update. I've been away for ~7months and missed many things (ie: incarnate stuff, inherent fitness, etc).
So this is my first shot at a new build. I might have a little too much ranged/nrg defense. I guess I could lose some and get some HP instead. I'm still trying to figure out what would be best for me.
Anyway, I'd appreciate any comments or suggestions to the following build, and I'll take it from there:
