Please help me to improve my Crabbermind build.  It is almost perma pets but the Def and Res are not that good outside of Barrier.

 

I am not sure where to put the ATOs.  So I am open to swapping them to other powers.  I slotted as many pet auras as possible in order to keep them alive. 

 

BIG THANKS!!!

If you want to keep both yourself and your pets alive, slot Tactical Training: Maneuvers! It has a much larger defense bonus than vanilla Maneuvers and you're just using it as a LoTG mule.
There are definitely places where you could get more defense bonuses out of your IO sets. For instance, if you are slotting Annihilation for its 3.75% AoE defense bonus, I recommend Superior Frozen Blast instead, which will give you 7.5% AoE defense for the same 6 slots.
Concerning Frag Grenade, if you don't want to be "that guy" who annoys your melee teammates, and sends your pets chasing after flying enemies, you may want to convert that knockback to knockdown.
I think that giving Spiderlings purple set IOs is a waste, since they die about 2 seconds after they rush into melee. I'd slot them for IO set bonuses. If Summon Spiderlings had all 6 slots of Blood Mandate you'd gain 7.5% in positional defense bonuses and lose one of your smaller recharge bonuses. Or keep the 6.25% recharge and move the #5 and #6 enhancement slots to Manuevers and 6-slot that with Reactive Defenses, which has a bigger recharge bonus than LoTG.

 

As far as where to slot the ATOs, I have Spider's Bite in Channelgun and Dominion of Arachnos in Suppression. They ended up there mostly because there were other, better, IO sets available for other attacks.

Here's a build I modified from my friend, Tommy.  Perma pets, softcap to range, 30 something to everything else, lots of -res.  Eats through GMs/AVs and pylons.

To me, perma pets versus almost-perma pets is all the same. A few seconds of downtime isn't a big deal. But there is a very big difference between soft-capped defenses and almost-soft-capped defenses. Because a Crab Spider can have 45% positional defenses so easily, I see no reason to give that up.
If it were me, I would sacrifice even more +recharge in order to have better attacks and a movement power, but this build leaves your setup mostly intact and still soft-caps all the positional defenses.
