Brute Question

I'm thinking about making a DB/WP brute and i need some suggestions and input from more experienced players...

I have a SS/WP brute and he is great for how i have him slotted but i want to make a weapon toon so i chose DB...

A few questions i have is....Is that a good dmg primary or is there another that is better.?....does /WP combined with DB make a good set or should i re-think my build?...If i chose to go with no weapon set...what build would be best for extreme DPS and what build would be best for taking a aggro-nuke?

Thank in advance for your input

I have a lvl 50 DB/wp brute, He a blast to play and look like a very nimble brute.

DB has 2 cones and One AoE and with /Wp herd them up a kill them in bunches using your AoE to the fullest

DB has the gimmick of combos with can increase your survivability if use right.

It can generate fury well.

Down side to DB , it not a burst damage set. Most of the attacks are DoT.

It all lethal damage and can be resisted by many different mobs

Skippable power i find can be Blinding Feint( good power just need need on a brute IMO)

Taunt(skippable if your not making an tank brute)

Animation are very nimble so it may not work with some toon concepts.

Just a point of clarification. The damage done by DB isn't really DoT (except Attack Vitals). The damage is broken up into chunks, with each chunk delivered with one of the strikes in a single power's animation.
