Well, for starters what kind of budget do you have for your build? You can be decent with a good build on SO's, a budget Set IO build will run ~150 million or so and you can push that however high you want with more frills in the build.
Your build does need some work, on SO's you'll want your armors (TI, Unyielding, Tough) slotted 3 resist/1 endred, Invincibility and Weave want 2-3 defense/1 endred. Slotting more than 1 endred in your toggles is of limited use, most of your end use comes from attacks anyway. Your attacks want 1 accuracy/3 damage/1 endurance. For the last slot you can toss in a recharge. One accuracy is generally plenty for an Invuln, particularly if you slot the Kismet 6% accuracy (it's +6% tohit actually but it's labeled accuracy).
Taunt is AUTOHIT in PvE... you have no need of accuracy there unless you're going to PvP. Tough Hide needs two more defense, it gives you the same def as Weave for no end cost.
Slotting taunt duration in your attacks isn't needed... your aura and attacks will have no problem holding aggro without that.
Here's what I'd probably go with on an SO build, it's similar to what my namesake Inv/Stone had pre-issue 9:

Thanks for the advice Call Me Awesome, why did you go with the fire mastery instead of stone mastery? Also, what would a 150 mil IO build look like?
Thanks again,
Garrett
Pyre mastery is pretty much my default choice on a tanker, it provides good damage, a decent hold (that's mostly just a prerequisite power) and the best tanker APP AOE attack in Fireball. My two choices are Energy if you have end problems and Pyre for more damage if your end is under control.
For ideas on a soft capped IO build check out my guide in my signature; I haven't priced it recently but the basics shouldn't cost a ton. When I first wrote it everything I quoted could be had for under 20 million... prices have gone up a bunch since but with some patience you ought to be able to get it done for 150 or so. If you'd prefer the Reactive Armor sets are available from the Paragon store for points if you'd rather spend $20-30 in real money on them. Smashing Haymaker are still cheap on the market and Mocking Beratement (taunt set) is dirt cheap.

Hey everyone,
I am newer to CoH and I'm running into some problems building my Invul/SM Tanker. My goal is to make this toon good at controlling mobs and keeping them on me as well as being MT for end-game content like incarnate trials. I also know very little when it comes to IO's. All help is greatly appreciated!
