Energy / Elec should be pretty tasty with those two

Synapse: I had to resist starting my last post off with "Yo dawg!"
Is this for PvE or PvP? PvP I'd go with Leon, but Energy Melee really leaves something to be desired in PvE; awful AoE, ST damage so high you may have trouble building fury, as some stuff goes down too fast for you to get the benefit, and you can't TF/ET absolutely everything, the rest of EM is a bit of a let down I think. I would go Elec Melee for PvE, Energy Melee for PvP, and Super Strength for a mix of the two.
Also, despite Ele armour having a really decent tier 9, the lack of a self heal makes things a little more hassle than it could be if you were any other armour set except energy aura (which is comically poor for brutes in PvE, no damage aura, no self heal, nothing except alot of typed defence toggles and energy resistance, and by alot I mean the average energy brute will have 4 or 5 toggles running at once, but I digress from the point lol). Fire is a great secondary for brutes as Healing Flames is awesome since the recent buff, you could almost get away with just having that + nothing else 
plus burn is great PvE and Fiery Embrace is great in general.
Of course if you think you'll be alright with a rad corr spamming the odd heal I guess you'll be alright as an /ele, you won't be as damaging as a /fire, but you'll have more end.

EDIT: Wow, there was only one typo in that whole thing.

"You should come inside the box... Then you'll know what I mean."
If you want to be a brute and really feel like one then I recommend either Super Strength or Stone Melee. Both of these sets have very fast animations (allowing you to build fury FASTER!) and the sound effects when hitting your foe will leave you in no doubt that you are the King of SMASH!
Even if they are the second most highly resisted DMG type (second only to lethal) you will feel like a brute which is a serious plus in my book. The game is about fun, pick up a brute and feel what he can do. Play untill you know that you can tolerate the effects (including sound) and are having fun with your SMASH!
Edit: I've forgotten, is it one ! or !!! for SMASH?

It's one !, but with the power it brings it should actually be 3 or more
