The only reason to go EA is Overload because of the elusivity stack. With Overload up you have elusivity numbers like before it was nerfed, you are pretty much un-killable in Overload. Outside of Overload EA sucks quite bad, so imo, you may want to fit Overload and burnout in your build.
Also, if you use burnout when Overload is blinking and then repop it, your end will crash but not your recovery so you can soon toggle back up the 1 or 2 toggles that drop from the end crash. 6 minutes of Overload and an extra minute from Archmage/Demonic puts you in godmode for 7 minutes.
If you REALLY don't want to rely on a t9 then roll a shield tank because they can get pretty solid defense numbers.
As for your epic, if you plan to use this in RV then I would go weapons mastery for web grenade and targetting drone, web grenades screw over every squishy toon seeing as their only means of kiting your melee is jumping; or go the leadership/hibernate route.
Goodluck.

With the added heal and what not, EA isn't COMPLETELY useless outside of OL -- but you're right about EA being all about the T9. If you're taking a defense set that has a godmode T9 and you don't build around it, you may as well not take that set. Those are the main advantages of those types of sets that say, something like Regen doesn't have.|

So, things like SR, EA, Ninjitsu for Stalkers, etc... All of those should have some amount of focus on the T9, imo. Also, not taking burnout on a T9 reliant set would probably be a mistake.
Also, I will second Weapons Mastery. Web Nades made playing my KM/Invuln in RV actually bearable, as did spamming Shuriken but that was mostly for lulz.

My **** is bleeding.
Hey guys i'm rolling Energy aura for zone for the first time and im pairing it with KM which i'm also playing for the first time.
I'm not too familiar with defense based sets in PVP and im having some trouble with my build.
im having a hard time reaching 60% S/L defense and 55+% e/n defense without using nerve. im at 60% s/l with 52.7% E 50% N. i've never used EA so will that be enough for zone? or should i keep trying to get E and N up?
I'm not really planning on using Overload + BurnOut for perma O.L. because im not a fan of crashing t9's, and i couldnt find a place for them in my build. Unless they're that godly then i can maybe try to find a place for it.
also what APP should i be using?
I went FA + PP because of km's bad accuracy and PP never hurts.
