So, I got my DM/WP brute up to 32 nad have the final slots in Shadow Punch and Smite. My question is whether or not to put the Perfect Zinger chance for psionic damage into these two powers, or a normal damage IO?

It depends heavily on what you've got slotted in there. If you're near the redzone already, you're better off with the Perfect Zinger proc definitely. If you're not, then it depends. Shadow Punch's damage so low that the proc is better than any other enhancement pretty much. Smite's damage is high enough that it's actually worth the damage enhancement. The important thing to remember is that the Perfect Zinger proc isn't affected by your +dam so it's a static value.
Here are some quick numbers to think about:
An even level SO in Brute Shadow Punch grants 11.7 extra damage. An even level SO in Brute Smite grants 18.3 extra damage. The Perfect Zinger proc grants an extra 14.36 damage (on average) no matter what power you slot it in.
I currently have level 30 IO's
1 Acc, 1End Redux, 1 recharge redux, and 2 damage each.
Willpower has more passive regen than Regen does. Who thought that was a good idea?
Can we get a fix for Energy Melee instead of more new sets?

As a /WP brute, at least solo and small teamed you should have no problem getting your Fury above 80% and keeping it there more or less indefinitely. (You did take Stamina, didn't you?)
The more sustainable your fury is, the less value the procs hold for you. The buzzsaw concept seems to work best with scrappers and tankers who don't have the long term damage boost you do.

Of course i took stamina, AV fights are longer than the average dust up. I tend to stay around 80 percent or more anyway, even on teams. If the team is in the group, I run to the next, gotta keep the fury bar up.
