I've stuck with my beta villian and done Fire/DA too 
Making sure I take fitness powers this time tho and not messed attacks when they took my lovely Combustion away 
So far so good teaming with a DM/DA brute for most of this morning.

That would be me 
I went DM/DA cos I haven't pld either set in COH and liked the combination on the beta......I may live to regret it but it's working ok so far (any advice on defensive side of build gratefully received)
Take Dark Regeneration ASAP
Nothing more annoying when you run out of insps to feed on when you have a good bar of fury going - so keep enough endurance and fuel up your health again, ready for another high tempo SMASH session.
Try and remember to turn on Death Shroud into a fight as it doesn't generate fury bar - but is that wise? I'm undecided still.
Murky Cloud I'd leave till after level 14.
Slot it and Dark Embrace with 3x Def Res / 2x End Red and for Obsidian Shield I'd want to squeeze a bit more and go with 4x Def Res / 2 End Red.
Dark Regen I had 1 Acc / 1 End Red / 1 Rec and it was decent - still needed more recharges.
Took Cloak of Darkness so I could safely look around the PvP zones.
Need to squeeze in Tough into it tho.
Went for DM/DA. Haven't played DA since it was an exclusive toggle set. Been wondering if the accuracy debuff on cloak of fear is really -20% and if it's enhancable. 2nd choice was DM/EA.

yup all the same transportation powers
I've gone with Stone/Stone as I never had a Stone Tanker in CoH but teamed with a few.

Gone for Energy/fire, mainly because havent used either before. seems good so far, but as there's 35 lvl's to go so we'll see

Another Energy/Fire Brute here. I'm finding that Blazing Aura is a real double-edged sword - while it helps take down the mobs, it sure attracts the aggro - and Brutes are NOT Tanks.

VIGILANCE Captain Caledonia 20 - Yeah, I made toons on the French server coz we only had 4 back then (might have to transfer/recreate them on one of the US servers)
..and many more!
Well my main CoH is a fire tanker, so I wanted to try something new and went for EN/INV which has been pretty good so far. Nice damage output and the ability to soak up a fair amount of damage works for me
Did a EN/EN Brute in beta, but the end drain was just sucking me down.
Have a DM scrapper so I didn't really want to go that direction, although I tried a Brute with DA, but the noise from the armour was driving me nuts - I thought the "on" sound was supposed to fade down after some seconds?
im a super/inv
knockoutblow ace u can get flying heros to the ground with it
and rage is vey usefull in pvp an i can have a boost without having to have a long figth
Energy Melee/Energy Aura. I like my glowyness. Stone was tempting though. Fury Heavy Mallet SMASH!

DM / DA all the way
Energy Melee/Energy Aura.

NRG/INV is working well for me, I have never died solo yet and only twice in teams.

Yip Dark Melee/Fire Brute for those reasons too. A lot of fun to use and hopefully some good combinations for pvp. Going to try without taking stamina for once - gonna be a scary time.

I was a dark/stone brute, but I'm rerolling to a SS/DA.
Well I originally made a SS/DA brute and I still simply love this combo, except I feel it is very end heavy... but I guess all brutes suffer from that.
