Let me list off all of the obvious problems you've currently got:
1. No MoG
2. No MoG
3. No MoG
4. You slotted Slash as a debuff
5. No MoG
6. You slotted FU as a buff
7. No MoG
When slotting your Claws attacks, you need to realize that all of them are attacks first and whatever else second. FU is an attack that buffs your damage and tohit: slot it as an attack, not a buff (especially with Gaussian's, which is only useful as a 6 piece set). Slash is an attack with a minor -def debuff (that should only be payed attention to because it allows you to slot the AH proc into it): slot it as an attack.
Where */Regen is concerned, you pretty much want everything except for Revive, but you don't want to slot it all. FH and Resilience can pretty much survive with the base slot (and I wouldn't even bother getting Resilience unless you're going with an IO build). Integration doesn't need end redux slotting; only heal slotting: it's already cheap and it's not like */Regen has endurance problems. Recon and DP should both get as much recharge and heal enhancement as possible: they're your big money makers. IH should get as much recharge as possible and then some healing, but only if you can spare the slots (because you're only enhancing a tiny portion of the +regen it contributes thanks to the I4 overnerf). MoG is definitely a necessary choice and should get as much recharge as you can possible give it; enhancing the defense or resist is kinda pointless since it's already putting you at the way past the point of being able to be killed while it's on.
Now, I'm going to give you a reasonably expensive build. I'm not going to dive into purples or PvP IOs, so it'll be on the cheap end of expensive. If you can't afford it, ask questions about what I've done and why so that you can apply those same principles to a cheaper build.

Thank you.
1. I am planning on using Ninja Run as my movement power. That will free up a power slot
2. In the short term there is no way I can afford the +rec uniques you have slotted. Will I be crippled if I drop Stamina before I get them? I will lose .84 end / sec
3. Without Health I will lose 8.95 hp / sec regen (just under 25% of my baseline)
4. I was already considering moving my augments in follow up over to Focused Accuracy
5. I was not really sure about MoG, I've read both good and bad about it. I'll take you advice on it.
I have been hoarding merits. Maybe I'll get lucky on my rolls once I hit 50 and get some of the more expensive IO like Numina's or the uniques.
I'll probably do my respec later today or tomorrow and gradually move from my current IO sets to the the ones you have listed as I aquire them. I want to hit 50 an see how my merit vendor rolls turn out.
Quote:
SJ was taken specifically because the BotZ set bonuses are awesome. I'd still recommend taking a movement power, if only to be able to slot the awesomeness of that set. Taking one of the two transport powers I most recommend most (SS and SJ) is generally a foregone conclusion for the builds I make because, even if you save the power choice, what are you going to save that makes up for it? If you don't take those, you generally lose out on the BotZ sets, which are a great boon to positional defenses.|

Considering you'd be dropping Maneuvers, SJ, and probably Eviscerate to fit Stamina in, I doubt you'd really see much of a loss in end efficiency. If you're still worried about your blue bar, you could always drop Resilience, put the Steadfast unique in Tough, and take Conserve Power (with the default slot only).

Current MoG is 15 seconds of complete unkillability that you can get nearly 20% uptime on. I would skip IH before I skipped MoG, and I haven't even designed a build that skipped IH.

Most of the guides I could find on /regen were written prior to Issue 9 so that is the information I was going off of. It is also why I am asking questions. I know things have changed but there are not many current guides explaining why specific choices were made.

I am finally approaching level cap on my first character, my claws/regen scrapper. I know I've made a few mistakes in power choices as I've leveled up, and outgrown a few other powers that were useful when I took them.
I have been looking around for a while now for guides I can use for a respec to put my powers in order, but have yet to find anything really useful. I was looking for some advice on my build allowing me to maximize my resources.
For a start. I plan on dropping Manuevers, Tactics, Super Speed, and possibly Hurdle. I also plan on taking Combat Jumping and Shockwave. I have a fair amount already invested in IO sets, and will reuse much of what I have as I upgrade. I have around 50 mil to invest and plan on farming but know I cannot currently afford a fully purpled out build or most of the really nice uniques.
My goals are for solid PvE. I mostly have this, and am currently running at +0 +2 and would like to ramp up the difficulty. If anyone has some useful advice or ideas I would welcome them.
