Mace Blast or Disruptor Blast?

Now, I've heard the arguments about Patron attacks for Brutes and I know some people dislike them, but for me, choosing neither is simply not an option. I could, theoretically, choose both, but I don't really think I need this many attacks. I want to pick just one of these powers, but I can't decide which one would be better.

Let me give you a bit of context - I'm working with a Fire/Fire Brute, and Mace Mastery is really the only thing that fits him that the Patrons can provide. From it, I most want Web Envelop, to assure some decent use out of Burn, but I don't see a reason not to pick at least one attack from there, as well. I enjoy having a ranged attack on a melee character to pop annoying runners, and in the absence of a Fire Mastery Epic, an evil-looking red energy blast will have to do. The question is, do I want a single-target one, or an AoE one?

Frankly, if I were playing a Fire/Fire BLASTER, the choice would have been easy - AoE all the way. But this Fire/Fire Brute isn't as simple. He doesn't actually have much of any AoE damage, restricted largely to Greater Fire Sword Circle and whenever I can be arsed to line up a Breath of Fire. That, and Disruptor Blast is a rather long, relatively narrow cone (a lot like Full Auto, in fact) which is best used from rather a long way away, whereas the bulk of my powers really only work well up close. Of course, being a ranged attack, Mace Blast isn't exactly immune to the same, but it COULD be used in melee, and I can see it being used to off runners I don't feel like chasing. But then on the other hand, I DO have Teleport Foe and will have Web Envelop, so I don't know.

I can't see myself taking anything else from Mace Mastery. I do NOT want a summon, I can't see myself taking Focused Accuracy, and I still have to pick up Blazing Aura at some point. I also want to finally pick up Blazing Aura at some point, and I'll probably want Swift just for the sake of having the power, so that really leaves me with only one extra to take.

Why don't you go Mu? It has an evil-looking red lightning blast, an evil-looking red AoE immob perfect for Burn, and an evil-looking red lightning AoE.

Well then, I'd take the single target blast. I can see it as being more useful than the AoE one... You probably won't be using it much because of redraw in a middle of a fight, and it's a better runner stopper than the AoE.

it's not that low when you factor in fury.
