Basing my experience on my Elec/Elec Brute...
You will want Tough/Weave, Aid Self, and try for +Defense, +HP in your IO set bonuses.
One of Elec Armor's biggest defenses, is draining the enemies END with Power Sink (that comes at lvl 35, unless they change it for scrappers *crosses fingers*).
Even after you have Power Sink, you should get the +Def/+HP from set bonuses, Tough/Weave and Aid Self.
Now mind you, I was trying to tank with my /Elec Armor Brute, as a scrapper, it might not be as important, but me personally, I'd still want those things.

I just rolled an elec/elec brute and I've heard simliar advice, but I have no idea what powers I'm supposed to sacrifice to get so many pool powers. Do /elec brutes just skip patron powers or something?
