One attack until lvl 16?
Two attacks until lvl 38?
Hope you have vet powers, or don't Exemplar down that often.
Resist Elements and Resist Energies can be put later in the build.
I rarely like using Maneuvers on a tank, to much endurance for what you get in return. I hate using Tactics or Focus Accuracy when I can get nearly the same return in one IO: Kismet +6% Unique(Although it says accuracy, it's really a to hit boost.) for one enhancement slot. You will also be getting plenty of +to hit the more in range of Invincibility.
For comparison, here's my planned Inv/Dark tank build. Leveling up I used Smite, but since I have 4 vet attacks I didn't worry about having it in this revised build. Although I typically don't stress about getting F/C defense soft capped, I did in here without compromising the rest of the build. I went Arctic Mastery as it fit thematically.
Take a look and see what you think. Hopefully you'll find something in here that helps.

Was not sure about the Resist energies and Elements. I'll postpone them further down on the build. Thanks.
Can't believe I forgot to add in a Kismet for my build. Thanks for the catch. Ended up dropping tactics so that I can pick up Smite.
For your build do you believe that your end will be sustainable? That's one of my main concerns for my build. I would prefer to set it up where I am not having to keep a stash of blues.

I try and craft my builds to be end sustainable, but I'm not always as successful as I'd like to be. This build's a bit on the edge. Even without Incarnates, and with the 4 Accolades it's getting a 2.34 end/sec recovery differential, not counting what you would get from the P-shifter Proc. With Agility Core Alpha it's up to 2.53, but that also ups the attack rate. That being said, the end usage in the attacks vs. the recharge I'm seeing does concern me. If it ends up being a problem, I'd probably switch to Cardiac, or end up boosting the enhancements that provide end redux in the attacks. (Siphon Life and Shadow Maul are the two I'd focus in on first.)|

Taking another look at Shadow Maul I'm going to switch out the Erad: Dmg/Rech and the Multi-Strike; Dmg/End for Scirocco's Dervish: Dmg/End and Acc/Dmg/End. It will lose a little bit of recharge for better end-recharge ratio.

Revision. This set up allows me to be soft cap without Incarnate powers. Something I really liked about your build.

Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.
Thank you for the feedback and builds. Now for the hard part.
Leveling him up. lol
I've now gotten him to level 50 and most of his build purchased. Only things missing are the Luck of the Gambler sets. I've even managed to get all of the Accolades for +End and +HP. Looking forward to seeing how he performs at top end. After that it's to the incarnate grind once again.
Been playing this Inv/DM for incarnate content lately and I must say he is down right impressive when it comes to survivability. Even before I got him to being 50+1 he could survive mobs of +4/x8. The only thing is that it takes him forever to kill stuff. 
I'm debating on re-working the build some to include Spring Attack for a decent AoE attack to help take out the mobs faster in solo play. Something like this maybe.

Code:
Still soft cap to all typed Defenses without incarnate stuff factored in. S/L resistance is hard cap, E/N is at 31 while F/I is at 34 and T is 33. Sustainable endurance where I do not have to worry about drains much if at all. Regen rate is at 322% which factoring in with Siphon Life makes for a great healing process. 70% recharge while hasten is not active.

If you want a good soloing tank, roll a fire/fire.
Part of the reason I went with Ice Mastery on the build I showed you, was to provide more AoE damage. The recharge on Soul Drain and Ice Storm are fairly close. If I can saturate SD, Ice Storm will do fairly decent damage.
Throwing darts at the board to see if something sticks.....
Come show your resolve and fight my brute!
Tanks: Gauntlet, the streak breaker and you!

I've noticed. I'm enjoying teaming with this guy on large teams. More than I thought I would so overall I am quite happy with its performance.|

Er, no amount of tinkering is going to make an inv/dm fast in solo. Play with teams. |
