I don't know a huge amount about DA but I'll make a couple of suggestions.
1) Put 3 dmgres in your shields.
2) You shouldn't need an endrdx in SJ - you don't want it on in combat and you won't have to worry about end outside of combat.
Beyond that, it looks fairly good. I'm sure others can advise you further, though.
Leave Dark Regeneration until after you have stamina, it takes away 33% of your Endurance when you use it and pre Stamina Endurance is a very precious commodity for Dark Dark brutes. Take Siphon life instead, it's great fun having a life sucking fight with CoT spectres and works nicely as an attack once you stick a few end reducers in it.
There is something satifing in stealing the last once of life out of an enemy to heal yourself :P
You also appear to of missed out Murkey cloud, this is your only defence against fire, cold, energy and end drain. You need it.
I take it level 18 should read Health instead of Hurdle?

true, Dark Regen is end gulching, but imo its the best self heal in the game. When, or if, slotted, it can give you 30% hp to 100% if it just hits a single target near you. very much worth it for a /dark brute, but remember end slotting it

My Dark/Dark has it and when used with Soul Drain, Dark consumption and Death Shroud you feel like a God.
On half hit points and reduced Endurance, run into biggest mob you can find
Hit Soul Drain, the Dark regen and Dark Consumption, watch all the bad guys fall down in a pretty circle and you charge out on full Fury, Health and Stamina glowing like a lightbulb.. never gets old :P
hi,
i've played coh in the beta and some time after it but quit with the start of wow
now i'm back, bought cov and want to test a brute. after reading a bit in some forums and played some levels, i think dark/dark is nice
so i came up with this build to lvl 25, but since i don't have any ingame experience with brutes, it's only theoretical:
