Shield/Strength Tank looking for critique

[Lamb Chop]

Got this Tank to 50 and she's tons of fun. First time playing both of these sets to 50 and im not sure how to slot everything. I have more defense than necessary so I might wanna change some stuff. I have Grant Cover mostly because it fits the character. Wasn't sure how to slot Shield Charge.

 

Oh! And the empty slot in Hand Clap is the Knockback to Knockdown IO. My version of pines doesn't have that apparently.

Safely over softcap. Resists... are almost as good as a pure resist set tank? 533% Regen?!!??

I have been looking for a SD/SS tank build.  Thanks for this thread LC!  Your setup looks excellent FUBAR, but Soul Mastery doesn't really fit the hero concept I'm looking to make.  If I had to, I could find a way to "mindtweak" a justification but is there anything else you could potentially use in those slots?

 

A bit off topic, but a question about the Soul Mastery pool.  That's a villain epic pool isn't it?  Would that mean you'd have to switch alignment, do a villain quest chain to unlock the villain pools, then switch back?  Or is there a way to unlock them w/out the hassle?

 

Either way, thx again all.
