Generally the two things that will help you most are +Recharge and defense. The "ultimate power" goal would be to soft-cap defense, which will take all the inf in the universe but make you virtually invincible. A lesser goal is just to grab as much +Defense as you can get while you're slotting other things.
For the shields, I generally 3-slot, two resist IOs and a Resistance/Endurance IO (from whichever set is cheapest to find on the market).
Healing flames gets 5-slotted with Doctored Wounds for +5% global recharge.
Temperature Protection does not get slotted. Put a Steadfast Protection Knockback Resistance in there.
Burn you can slot with Damage/Recharge IOs, cutting the slots down to 4 (or even 3).
With these slots you're freeing up, you can 5-slot Rise of the Phoenix. Stop laughing - the Disorient IO sets are cheaper than a lot of others, so you can go with Stupefy for +Recharge on the cheap, or even the purple set if you want to be more spendy.
Then the question is how to slot your melee attacks. Touch of Death (6 slots) if you want defense, or Crushing Impact (5 slots) if you want Recharge. The latter is much cheaper.
In general you'll find that unless there's something awesome from 6-slotting a set, or you want to add a damage proc in there, 5 slots of set IOs in your attacks will beat 6 slots of generic IOs, which means you have more slots available to fill out other abilities. This probably changes your build plan.
