Always when building, start with a focus. You chose S/L soft cap. Then why didn't you stick with it? You chased some +dam, +healing, +regen, +HP, +acc. Why would you even PICK jump kick? much less slot it? Tough is empty. Shin Breaker is slotted with a defense debuff set????!!!! you have a full entire PVP set in Spinning Strike, chasing an acc bonus??
I think you should go back to the drawing board a little. Possibly look at some of the other builds posted on the forums. Feel out how most people slot things, what powers are taken, sets used.
Key sets for you will be 3 Slotting Numina's, 4 Slotting Kin Combats, 3-4 Slotting Eradication's, 4 slotting Reactive Armors. And for goodness' sake, slot Shin Breaker for damage. Always slot for the bonus you are attempting to hoard, then when you cannot anymore, slot for a secondary effect (I would suggest +HP as your secondary goal).
I feel like I am being mean, but about every other day people post builds similar to this. I'm flabbergasted and discouraged -_-
Your character does not have capped defense. Depending on your AT the cap is between 175% - 225%. Your defense is not teal in the combat window, it can go higher. STOP SAYING IT IS CAPPED! The correct term is Soft Cap.
I enjoy playing in Mids. I specialize in Melee Characters, other AT's usually bore me.
This version hits harder, several attacks hit faster, has fractionally more defense, a lot more resistance, gets key powers sooner, has better endurance recovery, regens faster, has more hp, regens more HP per second due to the two previous advantages...
And despite having 2 of the most expensive PvP IOs in the game, is still cheaper to slot out.
It's also a highly functional build if you ignore the 3 defensive PvP purples and slot with far cheaper options.

To be fair he said he wasn't that good at Mids, and his second build was much better.

Toyed with it a bit. Little lower on regen, but 36.5 S/L defense, with about 34% for E/N/F/C. One small purple will softcap you to everything but Psi, and that won't be far behind.|

To me you were not being mean at all, you looked at my build and gave it an honest critique, after reading your comment and the builds that others have posted I feel that I am better prepared to work at it again. So again thank you all very much, I plan on tweaking and looking at your builds to improve my mids character building.

Icantres brought kind of a clunker in here, but at least it had potential! I think _Pine_ is discouraged by those OTHER people last month who've shown up with the completely unidentifiable rusted-out shells, one motorized skateboard, a broken Cuisinart bolted to a hubcap, and the one guy who brought the pony.

And I certainly would never consider taking some of my main attacks and 5-slotting them in order to build up...Brawl. Brawl. Seriously? I realize it's a set mule, but you couldn't at least put those slots in Boxing?

This is my second attempt at building a hero in mids. My goal was to get close to the S/L damage cap and still tear through my enemies in PVE.
