Building on Regen...am i missing something?

My mind is just not going well on this task...

As the topic is, i been trying to build around a Regen build, but every time my mind just...does not cooperate on pulling all the parts needed, so I'm just gonna try to ask to the build experts around...what would i be missing or getting wrong?

I get the weakness of Regen is defense, and i need to build it up, but what is the best way for that? Are any other kind of heals unneeded with Regen, or would they still be worth it? What stats would even work to build towards this, if we go with the original user, Bestial? What are priority powers to get for Regen? And finally, what gear should be needed for it?

For building a Bestial Regen Tank...somehow, i am not having it simple building it up, seemingly still trying to go "Min-Maxer" on it, even if its unneeded...so aside, i ask for people around "What the heck do i do?" and STILL thank you for the time answering someone to something that LIKELY, ain't that complicated at all and LIKELY have asked for help on this matter tad too much on about...

    A high dodge rate and avoidance is a must for Regen tanks built on survivability. On my Regen tank, my dodge rate is over 50% and my avoidance is about 30%+. Even then, you're still going to have to block simply because you're not going to be able to take too many heavy blows too quickly.

    ...Um, 30%+...? That seems...low.
    Aside, i do have to say that it does seems that most "tank anything" builds are centric in dodging and all, which i do say it's okay...but, what with a PFF tank in the making and a LR tank happening soon in this side...maybe an option not based AROUND Dodge again?

    I have a bestial regen character, and it tanks Smash and Grab alerts without difficulty. I have 121 defense, 39 Dodge and 58 avoidance. I have Devour Essence and Resurgence for heals, and use DE frequently but Resurgence very rarely. I got the Purple UNITY defense upgrade that gives base Avoidance and slotted a Dodge mod.

    I use the Hybrid role rather than Tank. Superstats are Strength, Con and Dex, otherwise it's similar to The Savage archetype except that I grabbed Epidemic.

    Here's a guide to various Regeneration builds.

    At the moment I am layering my Regen char with Dodge/Avoidance and Laser Knight advantage of energy shield combined with Devour Essence and the supernatural energy unlock and a couple of bubbles.

    Typical build:

    Legion/SCR gear (dodge+avoidance)
    Armadillo secondaries (+25% DR)
    Strength+Juggernaut (I have 276 DEF = 65%) / Vindicator / Warden
    Energy Shield+Laser Knight

    I am running with no heal powers other than Resurgence with this. No DE/Epidemic because it doesn't fit thematically (I care very much about theme). Can tank Gravitar on a good lag-free day, or Qwyjibo indefinitely (don't have the guts to tank Teleio yet, since this is not strictly a tank build but a hybrid)

    Are you testing in Powerhouse? If so, that strongly favors Invuln+IDF builds and is not really representative of actual damage output. Regen does poorly there.
