This is my first time working on a /regen and I'd like some input on defenses and playability.  I have a decent mix of defense/res but focused on +healing.  Is this enough to survive most content at +4?  (Note:  Shadow Meld is at a roughly 60% uptime but seems like it would be a hassle to keep up with unless I mix in some autocast scripting into the ST/AoE rotation any better suggestions are encouraged)

With regen, you want high recharge first, high hp after that, and then work up other forms of defense. Having a permanent Dull Pain is the biggest parking of pushing up your HP which is a function of having a high base recharge, so it that killing two birds with one stone. After that, we can start chasing some defense and/or resistance. Building defense ties in well with the goal of high recharge due to the LoTG 7.5% recharge enhancement. You are unlikely to be able to cap your defenses without the use of incarnate powers, but since that is a secondary form of protection, it's not a big deal. It mostly functions to protect you from the opening barrage from a pack of opponents or an unfortunate occurrence of several big hits landing at once. You need a little time to react with your click heals which is what building some defense/resistance will usually afford you.

 

Shadowmeld looks nice on paper, but it is very clunky and cumbersome in actual use. It has a 3s animation time for a 15s duration power that you would be using every 20-24 seconds. You can be very survivable, but I found that it really detracted from my play experience. Time spent animating shadowmeld is time I'm not getting to kung fu kick somebody in the face. I generally carry around a tray full of purples and just pop a couple to fill in the gaps as needed.

 

Lastly, I'll just say that the job of a scrapper is to dish out damage. You usually want to make sure you don't completely gimp your ability to perform that task just to chase an extra 5% defense.

This is something along the lines of what I would do. Everyone's style is a little different, and I'm sure there's some room for improvement.
