Stone/Dark Tanker

I've been looking around for some Stone/Dark Tank posts, but the ones I'm finding are Dark/Stone.

I wanted to know how viable the build is. Before IO sets. Before Incarnate options. Can I effectively run a level 50 Dark/Stone Tank without wheezing for Endurance, or is there a better option?

I'm hoping to become "That Guy" who just runs around and tanks everything like a good little rubble.

Here is My Stone/Dark Tanker he is currently at 40

http://www.cohplanner.com/mids/downl...17FF01333CF7A5

Thank you all for your input. I didn't want to play a toon to 47, only to realize he wasn't viable to begin with.

Stone/Dark doesn't synergize all that well, but it can still be a good tank.

I have a Stone/Dark over on Virtue. He's not one of those "OMGWTFUGOTTANKED" tanks. But he's damn tough and doesn't require much in the way of support.
