Personally having played a Necro/Dark and a number of Brutes I'd go with something that is (1) Able to build Fury via attacks quickly, since Necro/Dark will be Controlling a lot of the spawn (so less Fury from attacks aimed at you) and (2) has some decent AOE as well, as Necro is single target damage and control rather than AOE damage. I'd pick Claws personally. Spin at level 6 is excellent AOE damage and Claws is great at making quick attacks to build up Fury. Your partner wil have things like Tar Patch for helping to counter all the Lethal resistances in the game.|

For the secondary WP would be a good choice. Dark (and Necros Lich) does lots of -ToHit so you can be surrounded by enemies, who are missing you and your massive Regen will easily keep you alive without your partner needed to run in for many PBAOE heals. You can maintain aggro with Spin and catch anyone running at your partner with the excellent Focus to get them Taunted (not that a Necro/Dark has any issues at all dealing with a bit of aggro of course, they can be a bit of a beast in the survivability stakes).
agree with Carnifax
@hard - @authorised
Little less conversation - little more action please
A defense based secondary would work well because of all the -tohit from /dark.

I would go invul for the strong taunt aura and maybe claws or dm for fast fury building.

Yep Invul would be an excellent choice too, maybe even a stronger one than Willpower. If you're facing lots of Psi enemies no worries, Necro/Dark eats Psi enemies for breakfast.

This.
Plus the combo of against all odds and darkest night should be great.
Fire/Shield, Fire/Invul, Fire/Fire all come to mind for their AoE
