I was going for S/L, E/N Defense, and recharge (for hoarfrost) and can't seem to soft cap while staying around the same recharge time. I get around 42% S/L defense and 39% E/N defense. Any suggestions?

I understand what you mean, I personally want to have a travel power though. But I see where you are going. I took Shadow Meld when he didn't need it. And could've picked more appropriate powers for my toon.

By all means squeeze a travel power in. The build I posted was for my own elec/ice stalker that I started and I don't build with travel powers as I feel they are unnecessary.

You revised build is still lacking - mainly in your underslotting of attacks. Getting your defense numbers is great and all, but rather pointless if your attacks don't land, take forever to recharge, or drain your endurance after the first couple volleys.

Less slotting on your defenses, more in your offenses. You could easily cut back on the s/l defense, too. That's what lucks/EA are for.
