For scrappers, Initial Strike and Confront are the ones least likely to be taken although IS is just over 50%. My guess is those who skip it have IOed out the build. I still have it on my stalker and I could see getting rid of it later on depending on how the build plays out. It is nice to have early for attack chain purposes and combo building early on. Confront is well, Confront.

 

Grant Cover and One With the Shield rank the lowest here, but both are over 50%. One With the Shield is over 60%. Grant Cover is the lowest since it doesn't directly help the character and scrappers are known for their soloing.

 

I have some Shield characters but none at 50 so none IOed out or anything, but I can see at best skipping the two mentioned for StJ and going from there with this build. In terms of leveling, just skip Confront.

 

I made two StJ stalkers and one was Shield. The first one used Energy Aura. EA was more fun to level, hence it hit 50. I know Shield will work out but it feels like it needs more investment to get there currently sitting at 37. I simply keep the Shield version around for when I get the urge later on. StJ is legit Top 3 for me so I see no reason for the combo to not work out in the end. StJ with either scrapper or stalker ATO procs is going to be tons of fun.

 

* Obviously pick your travel power and the fighting pool feels like a giving with Maneuvers being a standard fill in. I would go Body for Epic, but that could be played with. I'm not the one to confirm that though.

Concerning SD Grant Cover give you something.  

 

It give you a much appreciate def debuff resist. 

 

You can achieve around 70% def debuff with grant Cover and stacked mez clicky.

 

Plus when your are teaming the bar buff is kinda strong.

 

Personnaly i always take that power with my shield scrapper.

 

On the other side OwtS is really situational and got not so good bonus for a T9

Here is a build I created some time back.  This build was trying to recreate one of my characters from Live, but I have not tried to finish it here yet.  I used to have Fly on Live, so I know this build is not the same as before.  That being said, StJ/SD was a very good build and fun to play.  I also had a MA/SD that was great as well.

 

I only skipped Confront and One with the Shield in this build.
