Will Claws be the same?
Confront -> Taunt.
The knockback on Shockwave may be brought down. And Confront -> Taunt like Ahmon said. Not really sure what else besides a taunt component to attacks maybe.

I doubt there will be any changes aside from swapping Confront with Taunt.
After hearing that Brutes would be getting claws I recently made a claws scrapper just to get a feel for where the set is today. I played CoH when it came out 5 years ago for about 3 months before I got bored with it and in that time one of my toons was a claws/regen scrapper who got to 20. I wasn't particularly impressed with claws then, but i sure am now. The end efficiency is a beautiful thing and having a constant +ToHit and +Damage from Follow-up is a beautiful thing. The speed of the attacks (DPS) is nice and Eviscerate ... has a chance to Critical Hit more often ... I guess that will be different for Brutes.
Anyone think anything else will be different on the Brute version of this set? If so, what do you think will be different?
