[Engineer] Magnet Build for duo/trio

I'm thinking about a magnet/tinker build for duo with a 2H IB and possibly 1-2 more that will not necessarily be built around magnet pull. Has anyone had success with a build outside of WB or 6 person?
The main thought around the build is to max out armor 5K or so. Tactics: Armor, coordinated fire, tracer rounds and trench fighting. Renown I will take crit. Basically looking at a crit/armor build with trench fighting and coordinated fire to make up for damage loss of BS/WS.
Just looking for thoughts on a tinker build outside of 6person or WB. I could probably work it out with some gameplay but its a big investment in sets with armor bonus and armor tallys.
Looking to brawl.

Get the regen jewelry from the lair boss in kadrin. With 4 of them you can get some nice regen on top of keg. With the tankiness from armor you can often just tank people to death. You will more than likely want to run expert skirmisher though for fast magnets / kegs / turrets / lightning rods. I'd trade trench fighting or coordniated fire for it. It also lets you spam firebomb when they get in melee which is good dps with a few points in grenade, even if you don't have a lot of BS. You are not banging on that 75% armor cap, so your enemies will mitigate much less.

Thank you. I appreciate the tips. I've been using the tome jewelry set that gives 210 armor bonus and huge resists. I will check into the regen jewels. Also, I will try expert skirmisher as well especially since i haven't had a lot of AP problems. Currently in 1v1-ish situations, I'm actually tanking and killing a lot of tanks and dps. Witch Elves and SH that get the jump on me with full burst ready, RD or dodge M1 available are still a problem. My tankiness and DPS actually gets me some engies are OP hate.
