This is just for curiosity, is there a build that can result in a nigh-invulnerable character? It would probably not be able to hold threat very well, and it'd be highly unviable, but it would be annoying for others to duel at least!

Depends on what you mean by nigh-invulnerable. There are builds that aren't very practical to beat in PvP, but nothing that the 50,000 raw dps of a cosmic can't cope with.

It's possible to make a very tough character that can take hits that would OHKO others that takes a while to whittle down. You could have an Invulnerable+IDF combo, Wardicator, and Damage Resistance boosting gear and CON to the max with 20,000+health, but not good for anything else other than taking damage. And even then, Teleiosaurus can still KO with one bite. And in PVP, there will still be builds that can chew through your defenses and self-heals eventually.
Lighting Reflex. Mindful Reinforcement. You wont be unkillable but certainly annoying. Dexterity as a Primary Super Stat also seems to help a LR build.
Thanks guys. I just thought it could be a fun concept to play with. Though it's a little disappointing knowing that even when sacrificing all your damage for survivable try, you still can be taken down easily by top pvp builds. But being totally invincible would be imba so it's understandable.

You can have a build that's tough to take down even by PvP builds, but bear in mind that PCs do more damage than anything but Cosmics.
I use a sentinel tank build with 21k+ hp and it's pretty annoying to duel. Only people with really high damage can take me down and even then it usually takes them a while. Of course, my damage is so low that if I try to fight another tank the fight just never ends, but being a pain to kill is what I was going for so it doesn't really bother me. Also, almost anything can hold threat well if you have a high rank confront mod.
Defiance, Sentinel + Protector, Sentinel Mastery, some damage over time powers along with stuns and you'll be REALLY hard to kill. If you want to kill people on your own too, you could try Frost Breath w/ adv + Roomsweeper. Chill makes Roomsweeper knock people up, and fall damage isn't resisted by anything, so it's the best source of damage. For this, I'd also suggest some power with Trauma adv, like Headbutt from Might. Stat-wise it'd probably be STR/Con/Rec. Sentinel Mastery activates on stun, but heals you only when you deal damage, hence why I said you'd need some DoTs. Anyway, enjoy being annoying to people!
Also, take teleport as a travel power. Aside from occasional utility in a duel, some PvPers will complain that you are cheating/being cheesy/wimping out/whine about your use of teleport.
