Improvements are mostly on the /WP side:
HPT certainly benefits from 6 slots, but heals should go in before res. RttC gets 3 +heal slots, ASAP, end of story. It is the most valuable defensive toggle in the set, and should be treated as such.
In that same vein, all of the individual WP toggles are fairly endurance-light. If you want to cut down on your endurance usage, you would be far better off by throwing a slot for end redux on all those currently-five-slotted attacks than you will by twoslotting your toggles for it. With QR AND Stamina, you won't have real endurance problems anyway unless facing sappers.
The attacks looks decent, although I'd take Jacob's Ladder much sooner. Chain Induction's virtues/problems have been argued to death in the Brute forums, so I won't get into that here.
Aside from those important points, it looks like a fairly solid ELM/WP build for someone that doesn't want to worry about IOs.
Rule number six of an empathy defender is NEVER underestimate a blaster's ability to die. I don't care if he has CM, Fort, both RAs, bubbles (both FF and Sonic), and is fighting next to a Storm defender with hurricane on. If there is a way to die in that situation, the blaster will find it.
So yeah, I was dinking around on Mid's and thought I'd design a Brute for the first time. :\ Soooo, this thing is up for critiquing. Don't be to brutal.. perhaps just point out improvements and the like. n_n;
