Just on plain SOs/IOs, I'd do it this way:

Why only two defense in the main armor?

If I'm leveling a character up then I usually put slots into my Primary first, Secondary afterward. If done in SOs, the third Defense nets 1.8% extra Defense. Not bad, about 0.1% more than an unslotted Combat Jumping or Hover, but still pretty insignificant if you're not already close to the Defense softcap.
If that character is already done leveling up, do you plan on staying SO'd or generic IO'd out on the character for the foreseeable future? For me, I can't help but begin IOing out a Shield Defense character as soon as I hit 50. I know how incredible they are when they've got a good build going, so I fidget like crazy playing a SO or generic IO level 50 SD. Hahah.

Melee/SL res toggle - 3 res, 3 def
Ranged/AOE toggle - 3 def
True Grit - 3 heal, 3 res
Mez protection - 1 rech
AaO - 1 end
Phalanx Fighting - 1 def
Grant Cover - 1 def
Shield Charge - 2 acc, 3 dam, 1 rech
T9 - 3 res
I never bother with end reduction in toggles (unless there's nothing else to slot, i.e. AaO) as the biggest end drain comes from attacks.

Interesting. I wonder though, if it would be better to go with 1 acc in Shield Charge, toss in an end cost, and use it when Build Up is ready.

Ah, I didn't realize that you could hit ED limits so quickly on defense toggles. I am leveling an energy aura stalker at the moment, and I have 3 def in everything except weave so far (and of course combat jumping.)

Requesting how one would typically slot Shield when speaking with SO/Vanilla IO terms, please.
Mostly curious about - Deflection - 6 slot? one end, 3 def, two resist? True grit - 6 slot with 3 heal, 3 resist?
etc
