I have found that neither dna nor parasitic need much slotting to do their job well, and the set bonuses are not phenomenal for you purposes. 

 

3 to 4 slots each is fine.

 

I would use these savings to actually slot out your early attacks. 4 kinetic combats in each provide good enhancement and defensive value with little investment.

 

Even if the later attacks comprise a good attack chain (I don't have sj experience), the bonuses here are much stronger for a tank.

Also you should either cut the perf shift endmod/rec in inexhaustible or switch it to a miracle proc. The enhancement benefit is incredibly marginal as is the set bonus.

I was puzzling over how much slotting love to give Inexhaustible on my Bio tank, I don't have enough to 6-slot it for interesting set bonuses, should it get more than 1-2, and what should those be? 

[Onlyasandwich]

For me it's just another place to drop procs. If you intended on slotting Stamina for end mod, I would slot here first, as there is a small extra boost when in efficient mode. 

 

If you have a spare slot floating around, it's not a bad place for a heal mod that matches one of your proc sets. It is a modest hp bonus.

 

I personally have it with miracle proc, miracle heal, and performance shifter proc.

 

If you are easy on end, it would be fine to leave at base slot only. In that event, either performance shifter proc or a heal mod if you truly don't need a drip of extra end.
