I'm not too sure maybe some bestial supernatural, being able to take a good chunk of damage and not die instantly. I was thinking of going with regeneration as a passive but I'm not sure.

Some notes about the build:
Regeneration can work as a passive in PvP, but with the plethora of people using Trauma from Ebon Ruin it performs much worse. And since PvP normally revolves around spike damage you'll want to be able to to reduce as much of that damage as possible, so Defiance and Invulnerablity are used much more often, especially in PvP builds. I took Defiance on the build because of the extra energy it gives, which is never a bad thing, and because it provides the greatest amount of defense against spike damage and you do not need to rank it up, opening up advantage points for other powers.
Superstats and specs are similar to a typical PvP setup. STR/CON/INT would be the most popular combo, but I took REC since Supernatural Power scales off of it and this build does not really have many spammable powers for cooldowns to go with MSA. Juggernaut is there for the extra defense, so stack CON. A few of the specs can be interchanged for more offense/defense from items instead of energy reduction on melee attacks for example, but I'd recommend keeping Juggernaut, Swole, and Brutality in the STR spec tree, the crit severity specs from Vindicator/Warden, Elusive and The Best Defense from Warden, and Strength Mastery.
At the moment, the key to surviving in PvP (with ease) is cycling Masterful Dodge and Unbreakable while using Palliate in between if you're at low health since it will not share cooldowns with the active defenses. This build has all of that along with Conviction, another popular pick for its spammable heals. All of that along with Defiance should make the build extremely hard to kill if you get enough CON.
I'm not sure if Unleashed Rage is within theme for the build, but it's there so you'd actually be able to kill someone while using a defensive passive. The reasoning I use behind that is because it is basically impossible to kill someone as a melee in this game unless you use two methods: an offensive passive, or a defensive passive with UR. If you'd rather not use UR, you can switch to something like Way of the Warrior or Unstoppable (Pestilence may even work since it reduces healing, you just would not deal as much spike damage with Massacre). Problem with that is you'd be much more squishy, of course.
Ego Surge is there for the near-guaranteed crit while their active defenses are down (or while Unbreakable is up if they cycle the AD's too tightly). With Shred applying the Shredded debuff and bleeds, your UR and/or Massacre should deal quite a bit of damage as long as you're attacking while their Masterful Dodge is not up, preferably if neither MD or Unbreakable is up.
Frenzy is tacked on for some AoE in the build besides UR. That can be interchanged with something like Iron/Vile Lariat for a ranged method of applying a bleed, another heal like Bionic Shielding or Ascension, or just some flavor power.
The build of course is not min/maxed for PvP, but it should be a nice starting point to go from. It should work in PvE just fine - I don't really build solely for PvE so I don't see anything really lacking in that department.
I should also note this is not really a leveling build.
Would prob take Enrage over AotB if ur using Massacre instead of Shred primarily (if Shred is just for Shredded and the bleeds). That means ur non-UR AoE can also be a knock-based one. Also, R3 of Massacre tends to be edge out Blood Mess in dps, since Blood Mess's bonus is not in the highest damage layer.
