Anyone have ideas for a High defense tank setup and high offense?

Currently the defensive Powers of the month is Regen and Invul.  But what other powers added to those would you all suggest to absorb a ton of damage? 

    When i say a ton i mean a TON. I want to have so much defense you can drop a Mega-Destroid on my head from space have it bounce off and then my character would look up put his hand out and wonder if that was rain....

  Yeah ok, not that much but you get the idea. I have gone the all brick route and it seems to be lacking as my ranged damage type with regen and the energy shield was able to take more damage and dish out more (Power Armor if you were wondering).

I would also like to know what Damage abilities would you recomend for the same melee based tank type character. I really like Shockwave for aoe,range, taunt and damage it does. i have also heard about thundering leap.  Any more in melee sword / claw / martial arts  like that i should think about adding?

 Anyone have any melee energy builder they think is more effective or damage producing or is the 1 in brick fine? Any input would be most helpful.

 But i must really emphasize i want above all else great defense (I want to do a lot of group instances in my new guild when ever i get in active one.. ). I also want a number of aoe or cone or multi-target attacks anything to keep aggro.

 

      - Again any ideas would be appreciated.
