I dont have a shields tank yet I was thinking of rolling one out but I do have a 1.6 bill IO'd WP/Fire tank with tough and weave and it looks like you are on the right track for the fire melee side.. Good luck with the build.
Here ya go. Much fun. Combustion shines with a Proc and is a good herding tool, aggro-getting tool.

"Sometimes you have to roll the Hard Six." -- Adama
Teabagging Ms. Liberty - http://kk-comics.com/allmmproject/rsf21.jpg
Good afternoon fellow tanks! Was wondering if you folks could give me some input on this possible shield/fire build. I want to try out the shields powerset but am still working on a good build. Keep in mind this is a non set io build. I have not dabbled in sets for a shieldy yet.
