Dark Melee/Dark Armor Brute
Its a very tricky build to advise someone on as how you will play it changes alot. I look at that and think slots are missing. Siphon Life is a bit end heavy as its heal and damage and i am not sure in some circumstances touch of fear would do more for you to prevent that damage the heal is worth from incoming in the first place. Its not too bad a build. Mines less end heavy due to no fitness pool and i have to play in a way that makes me give the most damage for my endurance and time things rather well. (I am nearly almost dead in every mob anyway for the sake of fury). I took death shroud early, it does quite alot of damage when your trying to take down 10 at a time and shadow maul i try to get to hit 4 at a time always.
He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.
You'd have to question Siphon Life when you have Dark Regeneration available to you. If you use it as part of your attack chain, I'd suggest Air Sup from the flight pool. it's a wonderful attack, with nearly a 100% chance of knockdown and has a very handy -fly attached.
With regard to Dark Regen, 4 minions around you, even without any heal slotting it will pretty much fill your HP bar from bottom to top. You really want the PbAoe attack who's name escapes me, perhaps Soul Drain? if you slot that with to-hit's you would be over the top for accuracy. SO's don't really need double slotted unless you plan to PvP IMO.
With regard to Dark melee, you could easily afford to drop an accuracy and got for an end redux in your attacks. if you're using

Defiantely take Air Support and Touch of Fear. Thing to remember about DM/DM - End Redux is your best friend. I'd also suggest picking up Oppressive Gloom when you get the chance.
I personally didn't get Midnight Grasp.. for DM/DA you end up running out of endurance in the space of a single scrap.
Tried it, didn't like it, respecced out of it.
On another note, as a brute you should slot your armors first, then your attacks, they're what will keep you alive.

I am in fact the complete opposite of that, but thats cos i have dark regeneration and before dark regeneration i wasnt trying my luck versus 6-9 most of the time but now its a case of do unto them before they do unto you. I still got 1 slotted armours and even now its end slotted i just have to fight efficiently, getting my fury high fast, and postioning to make shadow maul hit as many as poss whilst my death shroud is working on the others.
i am tempted now to try out slotting armours more instead of attacks on test and seeing how it is.
