Rad/Fire Build, critiques welcome.

[Errants]

So, looking at the pending changes to Tankers, I knew I was ready to try them again (hard-core Scrapper, Tankers are SLOW). Had a Stone/Axe that was rerolled into Shield/Axe on legacy, never really got them anywhere due to hating how they played. Saw some pretty sexy things out of my wife's Staff/Rad Brute, so wanted to try Rad Armor on something with even MOAR HP (and Rad Armor seems very appropriate for Tankers, due to it actually having team support). And, of course, to maximize the benefits of the changes - Fiery Melee, which gets 2 PBAoE's ONLY on Tankers. Seemed a good fit! Rolled, and eventually started playing, and WOW. Lotta fun, even just running on SO-level enhancement - also, I neglected to MAKE a starter build for him, so he's gotten to 38 with me kinda slotting willy-nilly.

 

Now, looking to see about giving him something tasty to play with, and make him even moar bettah. Gleaned the last 8 pages of the forum for Rad/ advice, since it does a lot, and I've not used it a lot, so I wanted to pick other's brains. This is what I've come up with:

Highlights: 35/20/20 MRA Defenses, 77% Neg, 57% Cold, 70% Psi, rest 90% with one ATO proc. +1.75 eps, 451% Regen on 139.5% HP, 136% recharge with ~20 sec downtime on Hasten.

 

Downsides - I've got some JANKY ass slotting, and I don't know what I'm doing with Tanks... I just built it like a fat Brute. Should I consider Proc-Fu? Something else entirely? Have I completely borked the build?

[Hyperstrike]

Below is a Rad/Fire built on the "Blood from a Stone" (squeezing every last erg out of Resists) concept.

Haven't actually PLAYED this.
But the low resting End consumption makes it look fairly viable.
