Thanks for the feedback!  I should have mentioned that I have leveled this guy to 50 and parked him because he just didn't seem to feel like the tank that I was hoping for.  I am not above renaming the Shield/Kin and starting this guy over as a ???/Energy at level 1 if the rework is as good as I have heard.  I enjoyed the Inv/EM version on live after all.  Before I decide on that though, I'll review your build and perhaps even try it out.  Thanks again!
