Best Brute or Scrapper for Rikti Busting

Does anyone run +4/+8 Rikti killing? Would love to see that build.
The only reason I don't go +4/8 with my elec/elec Brute is that the Rikti take longer to kill and, as a result, give the Guardians time to buff with stacking bubbles, which subsequently means it takes even longer to take out a spawn. I go +3 when PLing a lowbie, +2 for general farming. I can survive 4/8, my rewards/minute just aren't satisfactory.
The build is far from exotic, I just wanted to build up decent melee def (s/l would work too) and get some global recharge. Sounds like a job for Oblits.
Global = Hedgefund (or some derivation thereof)
True. Looks to me like Fire/Eng or Fire/Elec would make the most of 4/8 rikti spawns. I dunno. Brain hurts
Elec/Shield Brute or Scrapper....with enough IOs to softcap defense....
My level 50 Brute runs through +2/X8 (no bosses) with relative ease. I run through 2 mobs at a time and get 17 to run to a corner with then Lightning Rod and Shield Charge em then step back around the corner cause 17 more are coming. If I was farming for purples Id run +0/X8 and maybe turn bosses back on for fun, but I just like to bash stuff regardless.
I have level 44 scrapper Im working on but that one doesnt get much play time because it feels too much like the brute.
