Link isn't working. You should always post a Data Chunk.

The main thing I see is what I don't.

Weave. Did you leave it out on purpose?

Also - depending on whether you ever expect to be the primary tank for your team, and how difficult your settings are, you may want to get some more recharge bonuses.

For blazing aura, consider using the entire oblit set for nice melee defense and 5% global recharge.

Your fire shield is underslotted, I'd say. You could go with two generic resist IOs and franken slot with resist/end from any of the level 50 sets, or you could find a way to use 4 slots of reactive armor.

If it's set bonuses you're after -- what are they?

For healing flames, I'd go with 5 doctored wounds and call it a day. (and use the ones that affect recharge)

As for the rest, I don't have the bonuses memorized, give us a data chunk.

I'll reserve my comments for when I can jam it into Mids to get an idea of the numbers.

Okay, big wince at looking at it. There is almost no defense in there. Not to mention you seem to be frankenslotting for the oddest bonuses...

Also, for a tank, you'll want at least 12 points of Knock Back protection, or 3 IOs. Not to mention you have lousy global recharge.

My advise is to start the build over, aim for 45% S/L defenses first, then recharge bonuses and fit 3 -KB IOs in (You can use Blessing of the Zepher for your travel power) and maybe a Numina and Miracle Procs in Heatlh so they're always working for you.

kinda intrested on how i would get 45% defense on S/L. i dont want to use any slots on travel powers, seems like a waist. it would be helpful if u could post a build, so i can see

I do not have such a build on me. HOWEVER, Grey Pilgrim has written a guide on how to play a Fire/Fire tank that DOES have Mids Builds.

The Wall of Fire (Fire/Fire) and the Four Rules of Tanking (Grey Pilgrim)

That should help you out.

Think you may have misunderstood, he was saying, put a Blessing of the Zephyr -KB enhancement in your travel power. You can use the default slot.

Nuclear Annihilation: 50. (Rad/Rad) Corruptor.
Quasar Eclipse: 50 Warshade.
Humanoid No. 7: 50 (Invuln/SS) Tank.
