Now, if you want to go for the 25 SPR first keep in mind that although you'll be able to spam more skills the M.Def won't help too much as it is miniscule compared to the damage you will receive from higher monsters, nonetheless it's not a complete waste. Also you will be "weaker" compared to other full END tanks.
For skills I've heard that it is best to save points until you have Mock and Devastate. Don't quote me on this but the recommended skill point allocation is Cool Down on Devastate and Mock. Possibly duration on Devastate (I think this was the stun skill as well).
Though you can solo perfectly fine with a full END build it'll take longer as your damage isn't as great as Two-Handed or Axe users. You will be better off to have at least a cleric friend with you.

In my opinion full end doesn't help you much.
A hybrid build or custom build of some sort reaps better benefits.
I myself am 1:2:1 STR:END:SPR
I have sufficient hp and defense to tank.
One benefit to my build is the added SPR gives me some extra critical percentage.
I recommend building a fighter which can utilize a sword and an axe.
If you go full end, you'll soon realize that you dont nearly gain experience points as fast as an axe user, or two handed sword user. You'll soon realize that an axe user can solo orcs beginning at 43-45 (depending on their build) without using hp or sp stones, but using a power scroll. While a 1-handed full-end user due to his low damage per shot will use at least 1 hp stone.
Furthermore, pure-end fighters dont survive as long in guild wars as hybrid fighters with axes or 2-handed swords.
Pure-Endurance is nice in parties, aside from that, a pure-end fighter is practically useless. Why? Well when you get to the point where many people have +9 weapons, monsters wont even pay attention to you because your not dealing enough damage with your 1-hander (at +9 aswell).
