I really dig the passives on INV, especially with the added slow resistance and end drain resistance.
Slotting wise, it depends on your overall build. I tend to treat them as IO mules and my projected build will have them 3 slotted for set bonuses (res en/el). RPD I just place the +3% def from Steadfast set. Tough Hide I'll 4 slot for bonuses.
2 slots with Res IO in all of them, def in Tough hide. If you have slots to spare, triple 'em for a few bonuses, or for slotting Impervium armour +Psi res.
I also find that the Res/Def IO from Steadfast goes great in Resist Physical Damage. Stacks nicely on with Tough Hiden and Invincibility.

Regarding making your toon defensively potent, here is something to look at http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=126983. Please know this is for Invul Tanks and looking only at Invul itself. However, you can use this guide to "tinker" around. Moreover, much of what CallMeAwesome recommends for slotting are quite cheap.|

His guide is "one" way of hitting soft-cap for Invul tank.
As for a SS/Invul Brute someone has one, but I don't have time to dig it up right now.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for the replies guys, gives me a few more directions to go and look at.
