Incarnate PET (Lore) selection for more Tank Defense? Storm?

Looking for advice on this.

I have a Fire/SS/Pyre Tank and I want to give him better defense with his Incarnate powers.

Here's what I am thinking and why:

Alpha Slot - Spiritual: For recharge and heal
Destiny Slot - Barrier for shield buff
Judgement Slot - Void for -dmg
Interface Slot - Diamagnetic: for to hit debuff
Lore Slot - Storm the buff pet has hurrican and H2o boost

There are some pets who heal or buff defense but I would think Hurricane would work better, opinions?

Thanks!

On my Tanker, I went with the Seers Radial Superior Ally. The untouchable Seeker Essence lasts for 5 minutes (with a 10 minute recharge time), perma-buffs you with Fortitude, and can heal you wtih Soothe Mind. I haven't tried the Storm Elementals yet because the scatter caused by the Monsoon's Hurricane would drive me nuts. I want mobs packed tightly together for (PB)AoE'ing.

On my Fire/Fire/Pyre tank I've built for both Cardiac and Spiritual Alpha. Depending on what I'm doing, or team make up, I'll switch between them. Lately I've been running with Spiritual for the extra recharge.

For Interface, I'd originally gone with Diamagnetic. With it being fairly well resisted by higher level mobs, I ended up changing to Reactive for the additional Fire dmg.

For Judgement, I went with Void for two reasons. One; the -dmg, and two; it gives me another dmg type in my attack chain. I have Ion on my Dark/Dark tank, and I'm tempted to work towards it on the Fire.

For Destiny, I've crafted both Barrier and Rebirth. With some teams Barrier is a must, on other teams having more regen is better. On Hamidon Raids I'll use Rebirth when I'm on the yellow aggro team.

For Lore I also went with the Seers for the same reason TBoxer mentioned.

Ah great ideas guys, thanks!

Interface: Reactive the -res is resistible? Bummer, I was hoping to stack it up with the -20 res from bruising.

Do you think the Hurricane would keep a tank alive better?

Does anyone know if the "untouchable" Monson attack a target with Hurricane? The test server is down otherwise I'd go try it out =P
