I think that the reply you're going to get is generally going to be, "Any Scrapper can solo AV's if you build for it and throw enough money at it."
Which I think is probably true. So yeah, I'm sure that if you got enough Recharge and Defense into your Claws/Regen build, it could solo some AV's. I've never played that combination before so I don't know how hard to build/expensive it would be, but I'm sure it could be done.
However, I think that certain combinations are going to do it more easily than others.
My Dark/Willpower has been soloing AV's pretty well so far. Anything/Super Reflexes, especially Dark/Super Reflexes are popular AV soloers. /Shield is becoming popular as well, I think. I believe that I heard that Shred Monkey has a Dark/Shield Scrapper that can solo AV's in under three minutes or something like that. Of course, that's Shred Monkey, so...well, he's exceptional, heh.
But anyway, yeah, I'm sure it could be done. And people here on the forums are usually more than happy to offer advice so you'd have a good sounding board for your AV soloing build as you build it.
when people ask for soloing AV I have 3 that come to mind.
DM/SD-If you have the Inf like 2 bill that it is the best. It will have soft capped defense and a heal and does crazy damage. The damage is also not a common Resisted type so you can solo a lot of AVs.
DM/Sr while doesn't do as good as damage as a Dm/SD it can get to the soft capped a lot easyer. It doesn't cost as much as DM/SD but it is still not cheap. It as the same reason as DM/SD why it is good soft capped Defense with a heal, and a damage that is not common resisted so you can solo a lot of AVs.
Fire/SR- This is the cheap man AV solo. With Fire/SR you can get a great attack chain with little help. /SR is not hard to soft capped too. So that doesn't take a lot of inf to do. Again it is a damage that is not resisted a lot so you can solo more AVs.
those are 3 of the best IMO, there are other that can do it too. These ones just the one I like the most.

DM/SR because DM's secondary effect is to hit debuff which goes nicely with SR and it is cheap to soft cap.

How survivable is Fire/SR? Will you need a [censored] ton more than soft-cap to be viably survivable? Aid Self?
I do have a DM/SR brute at lvl 32 but i just don't find DM fun at all it seems weak when i play with him so all i have heard here is fire and i don't like fire 
. Man i guess the game gods are working against me.

FR/SR is just as survivable as anything else once you soft cap defense. Aid Self is just a really good idea for defense based characters because you aren't as likely to be interrupted while using it.
Any scrapper can solo AVs if you build for it and throw enough money at it.

I done Marauder twice now and Chimera with my fire/shield and I do not have near the recharge as most people do in there.
It took we 31 minutes to clear out the entire map including two trips to the hospital (ran orbus and that is including clearing the rest of the map solo)
I soft capped across the board once I did not take two lucky hits in a row with that darn rock it took me about about 8-10 minutes to take Marauder out. This with a different fire shield build. Then again I have like 48% damage buff with one target in range.
Just to clarify i used no temps or inspirations
