Well, it's not how I'd build it, but it would certainly work just fine. 
You're spending a LOT of slots chasing recharge. While the toon is fast, I'm not sure it's going to be doing exactly what you're after.
Some quick advice: I'd drop three or four slots of the efficacy adaptor and six-slot some more attacks. I'd think VERY hard about Kinetic Combats, at least one, so you can drop the six slotted Titamium Coating. I'd put in three aegis instead, along with a Steadfast 3 percent.
That alone should softcap you to SL, which will help. You can then drop the obi's in soul drain and pop in three erads and three cleaves for the en/n defense....
Ah, hell, there's too much.
Ok, here's a quick rebuild: This is still YOUR BUILD, all I did was tinker a bit. This will rock so hard you won't believe it.

Mauk, KB protection on an Invul tank? Why on earth is that needed? IMO it would also make more sense to put the Cytos in Maneuvers and Weave since they have a much higher end cost.
To the OP: I'm going to base my suggestions on your original build, though mauk's build is definitely heading in the right direction.
The biggest problem I see is one of set selection. You should be building for typed defense, but many of the sets you are using (Red Fortune, Titanium Coating, Obliteration, Mako's Bite) give primarily positional defense, not typed.
I'd also recommend dropping Maneuvers and picking up Shadow Maul. SM provides some much needed AoE damage, and Maneuvers is a very end-costly way to get a defense boost. CJ proves slightly more defense at a fraction of the end cost.
Personally, I wouldn't bother with Hover or Afterburner, but if you really want to keep AB, consider dropping ResEl or Unstop for CJ. The problem with Hover is that you have to 'hover tank' to get the defense benefit, and I've never been a fan of that. Up to you, though.
ResEn and ResEl can be taken way later than you have them. I'd move them to the very end of the build and take the Fighting Pool earlier.
Slotting issues:
Temp Invul is way overslotted and Titanium Coating is a poor choice for Invul. Four slot it with Reactive Armor instead; you get the same S/L def bonus and an E/NE def bonus in just four slots instead of six.
The Kinetic Combat set in Shadow Punch is a good choice, but it needs a fifth slot for accuracy and damage. I prefer the Mako's quad, but any IO with accuracy and damage will do.
There are better ways to get E/NE defense than Mako's Bite. Replace the MBs in Smite with another KC set plus a fifth slot.
Aegis is a nice set, but F/C defense is a low priority compared to S/L/E/NE. Four slot both UY and Tough with Reactive Armor sets.
As mauk mentioned, Oblit is not the best choice for your AoEs since the def bonus is small and it's underslotted for end reduction. Slot both Shadow Maul and Soul Drain with a combination of 3-4 Eradication and 1-2 Multi Strike or Scirocco's Dervish so the attacks have sufficient end reduction. I show both slottings in the build below so you can decide which you like better. Just make sure you're not going over the Rule of 5 for any bonuses.
If you're going to keep Hover, use it as a mule for a LotG +Recharge. If you're going to actually *use* Hover, throw an additional slot or two in there to enhance it for defense.
Way too many slots in Invinc; four slots from just about any defense set will get you to the ED cut-off. You can use the extras to make sure Tough and Weave are four-slotted. I like 4 LotG or the LotG +Recharge and 3 Gift of the Ancients, but pick the bonuses you like best and can afford. Weave can be slotted the same way as Invinc.
Slot the Steadfast +Def in RPD. If you're not going with the Cardiac Alpha, you'll need another slot in RPD to reach the S/L resistance cap, presuming TI, UY and Tough are all fully slotted.
I played around with the slotting in Siphon Life so it gives you a place to put the Theft of Essence +End, which should be useful.
Dark Consumption is way overslotted for end mod. I'd slot another three Eradication set there, plus a couple of end mod IOs if you can spare the slots.
In combination with the three RA sets and the S/L def bonus in Taunt, a third KC set will put you at the soft-cap even without Hover, so I'd put another set in Midnight Grasp.
If you can spare the slots, try 3 slotting RA in ResEn and/or ResEl for a little additional E/NE def.
Use a Numina Heal in Health instead of the Heal common for the 12% regen bonus. I'd also slot a Perf Shifter +End in Stamina.
Here's your build with my recommendations. It's soft-capped to S/L and at around 44% E/NE without Hover, well over the soft-cap with Hover. Since that's the "once in range of Invinc" number, you should be over that most of the time.

I put in the two steads, then decided to rob the slot, and flat-out forgot to go back and steal it.
See, this is what happens when you make builds in a hurry
And, LOL!!!!
Dood, I think you put up the wrong re-build.
All right, we gotta stop drinkin' and postin'
Okies, I tinkered it quite a bit more. Ditched the flight pool for Cj and SJ, it's just cleaner on melee toons. Added the Glad proc. No whinin', it's EASY to get these days, just put in the work.
See what ya think:

Thanks for the great responses guys! I appreciate it. I'm working on a hybrid build between all three. I will post the build when I get it all sorted out.

I like Nucleolus Hami-Os for that. They were pretty expensive last I checked though.
| The Kinetic Combat set in Shadow Punch is a good choice, but it needs a fifth slot for accuracy and damage. I prefer the Mako's quad, but any IO with accuracy and damage will do. |

I've never understood the appeal of them for this purpose. Most of the damage enhancement is eaten by ED, so all you're really getting is additional accuracy. A level 50 Acc/Dam IO from any set will give you close to the same amount of accuracy at a fraction of the cost.|

And if you don't feel you need all that accuracy, (and I usually don't) why not slot something like the Mako's quad that gives you some additional recharge and end reduction as well?

Knight Court--A CoH Story Complete 2/3/2012
Hello all, I am thinking of rolling an Inv/Dark and I wanted to get some feedback on my intended build.
My build has capped S/L resistance + 40% S/L Defense. I also got around 30% resistance and Defense to all other damage types.
With spiritual core I have perma Dull Pain, and almost perma Hasten, only off about 1.2 seconds.
I was trying to go for as much defense and resists as I could without compromising recharge too much, for dull pain and hasten. I also stayed away from any purple or PVP sets, because their prices are just crazy... lol.
Any advice or comments would be greatly appreciated!!
