Your power selection are mostly quite good, though Melt Armor for Tankers is generally considered to be a dog of a power. I'd recommend dropping it and taking Combustion instead.
Here's a common IO build; please note that it's built for level 50 IOs in the attacks. They're already a bit underslotted with two level 50 commons, so you don't want to go lower, IMO. The slot distribution will also be a little different with SOs or set IOs. I did add one set IO, the Steadfast Protection +Def. It's not super expensive and it really is a must have since it adds 3% def to all damage types. With it, Weave, CJ and the Ice defense powers fully slotted you'll be at the soft-cap with EA active. I moved Hibernate to the end of the build so you'll be able to five slot Fireball. You can always move another one-slot power like CJ or SJ there instead--your call.
Let us know if you want to see a set IO build; Ice is very easy and inexpensive to soft-cap without EA with sets, and you'll get a lot of other nice bonuses too.

My Characters
Knight Court--A CoH Story Complete 2/3/2012
So, my tanker is currently level 37 and I'm coming back from quite a long break (2-3years). Wondering if I could get some advice on how to finish up this tanker. Specifically slotting. What goes where, etc. I'd like to keep it to regular IOs if possible since I'm not sure on the set bonuses and the like. I'll research into those later. Any help would be appreciated. This is for mainly group PvE missions or task forces. I've no interest in PvP of any kind.
