I have a kin/elec defender who works pretty well - elec has two 'true' AoE (as opposed to a cone) which work in melee range, which meshes well with kin for Transfusion and Transference.
Slotted for endurance drain Short Circuit can heavily neuter a group in two applications, and you can use Transference to more quickly neuter a single particularly dangerous opponent. Alongside the single target hold in elec and the slows and -damage available from kin you can make yourself pretty safe.
Give it a whirl

hey all i was lookin at possiable build for my next char, my brute lvl 37 now an wanted to try somthing diffrent.
ty for help
i am going to def be a /kin and ive heard diffrent things, was thinkin fire because or the raw damage but i liked the sound of elec due to my next char being a clone of my brute. so can any no if the sync between these powers will work.
is elec any good on corrs and will it work with kin
