I have a +hp build that I'm working on, but it's certainly not the optimal way to go. I would go for defense first and recharge second.
You can see my inexpensive build here, and Bass_Ackwards has a stronger build a few posts down in that thread.

Here is an example of what I was considering for a build. Am I on target or should I consider a different way to go. Please advise.
thanks,

First off... can you post the data chunk?
Second, I'm not entirely sure what you're building towards. Looks well-rounded, but doesn't excel in any one area.
Third - 5-slotting Doctored Wounds in Healing Flames will get you better results and a 5% recharge bonus.
Fourth - I'd move those purples to Soaring Dragon and Golden Dragonfly.
Fifth - Fiery Embrace should be taken earlier and slotted with at least two recharge IOs. It's the reason you take Fire Armor.
Just a few thoughts.

-Don't just rebel, build a better world, comrade! Actually, you should keep the purple set in Gambler's Cut. All the high-end attack chains spam GC pretty much every other attack, so you'll get the most out of the purple proc in GC.

I am approaching 50 on my kat/fire scrapper and would like some advice on build goals for him. I would like to get a bit more survivability out of him and am wondering what will give me more bang for my buck.
+ hp
+recharge
+ defence (and is melee or sm/le the way to go)
I dont really care about cost and one mids build i tried had healing flames down to 12 sec if i used purples. I am leaning toward the rechg and +hp but am not sure if this is really what I should be focused on.
Thanks for the suggestions,
Gitch
