Well it all depends on your play style and there's no "best" build in CoV.
Personally I duo with a /kin corruptor and with 3 SO slotted stamina and his buffs I have LOADS of endurance. However before lvl 20 I had major problems and tbh I'm not sure how you can avoid that.
I find in pve death shroud helps keep all the minions on me which keeps my team alive and gives me fury, win/win situation, although it is a big endurance drain it also does decent damage.
SJ is a good choice as you'll want Acrobatics from that pool for knockback protection.

My questions are similar to perforates so I'll ask here rather then cluttering up the forum more .

I played CoH over a year ago (blaster + tanker in 30's) but quit. Now I've come back for CoV and found they'd made a tanker fun with good damage! SMASH! Though I realise I'm never going to tank like a real CoH tanker (I used to be a provoke bot, it got boring ).
I've started a dm/da brute who I've been duo'ing with a fire/kin corrupter (he used to be fire/thermal but rerolled lol). Our duo seems to work really well but I was wondering how I can improve and what skills will compliment my duo with a /kin to buff/heal me . Mostly we intend to PvE together but I would like to do a bit of solo/pvp too.

I'm curious about stuff like:
How good is /kin endurance recovery? Should I get stamina or just rely on /kin buffs and Dark Consumption? (seems to be too long recharge on that though)
/kin seems to get imobilise/knockback protection which /DA lacks, would it be a waste getting Acrobatics then? or will I come to loathe lack of knockback protection if I try to solo?
There's a lot of toggles, which ones are really worth it? (I have death shroud atm but it eats my endurance away)
What skills should I avoid? (since I'm not actually a tank what's the point in Taunt? Can't I just SMASH! )

Also what's the Villain respec mission like and where do I get it? I'm currently looking at respeccing to a build like :
