Elec is a great set for resists. You can cap energy resists easily, get very high S/L resists, and fairly good resists for fire/cold etc.

Katana helps it out a lot by providing a bit more defense in melee and a good deal of defense against many ranged attacks (Mainly things like bullets that do lethal damage).

Since elec really has no defensive bonuses it's hard to (maybe not even possible, I don't know) to cap more than one type or position. S/L defense is a good way to go and can be soft capped with a bit of work. I'm not certain what the trade off for this would be, but it is probably worth it considering that you have such strong resistances to back it up with a fairly decent heal in energize.

I don't know if you could work in aid self without losing too much from anything else, but another form out heal would be great with the build.

I'm certain there's a kat/elec build probably floating around out there though.

I would offer a kat/elec brute as a consideration.

Elec has two resistances that exceed the scrapper cap of 75% - Energy and energy drain resistance. Both are noticeably nicer at cap. Also, should you use it, the tier 9 godmode is better on a brute for the same reason.
