Another poster having trouble deciding on powerset

Yep, I'm having some trouble deciding what my next toon should be. Going to be a secondary main, and I'm toying with all ideas.

I'll start by saying that I love melee. The chaos that comes from jumping into a spawn is just awesome. Therefore, I would prefer to roll a scrapper, tanker, brute, or stalker.

I'm looking for something that teams pretty well, and has a damage type that isn't resisted too much. I would prefer it not be an end hog, but i can work with it if I have to.

My experience so far is mostly with smashing and lethal damage, and thats what I want to move away from now. I have a DB/WP scrapper who, while awesome, doesn't put out the large numbers in damage that I would like to see. i'm also not so happy with the need to hit with every attack to make the combos work. I also have a Stone/Shield brute that is on a regular team. While the damage so far is fantastic, the ST attacks make keeping aggro a bit of a rough game, so building fury is rough most of the time. On top of that, I find that (this is pre 20) stone melee seems to just chew up endurance.

So there you have it. I'm up for nearly any powerset, though since I have a WP, I'd like to try something else.

to summarize:
looking for less resisted power type
looking to team well
looking for high damage
and if (AT = brute) {
looking for sustainable fury
}

what would you recommend?

(also, I am patiently waiting for dual pistol melee. It's going to happen at the same time as fishing rod melee, and poison-defense)

you obviously know what you want, why do you ask???

Less resisted:

Spines
Dark Melee
Energy/Electric Melee
Fire Melee

Team well:

Tank (aggro control) [While Brutes, Stalkers and Scrappers are great on teams Tanks fill a pretty unique roll blue side, although they are not necessary]

IMO I would recommend Elec/WP Brute...but since you don't want WP how about jumping to tanks and trying a Ice/EM?

Ice is a defense based set with good, if not the best, aggro control and Energy Melee is good single target damage, especially post 35.

Ice Armor/Dark Melee tank or Ice Armor/Fire Melee tank

All tanks are slow starters so don't be discouraged. Everything changes at around lvl 22, with SO's and Stamina, then really blossom at 26 with Energy Absorption. You'll never stop attacking.
