Weave adds about 5% defense to all 3 positions. It is difficult to soft-cap shields on a brute or scrapper without it. I also do not see the steadfast 3% def IO that adds 3% to all positions as well. Also, buildup can take a full gaussian's set which adds an additional 2.5% defense to all 3. Those three things are mainstays of most positional defense builds.
Then there are two other sets that often get placed in melee attacks to round out the melee and range defense - Touch of Death (3.75% melee) and Mako's Bite (3.75% range). For AoE attacks, I do see obliteration, but this can go in other attacks like thunderstrike and jacob's ladder if you need more melee defense to stack.
I would recommend you search the brute and scrapper forums for builds. Do NOT use the tanker forum builds because the base numbers are not comparable. There are a ton of topics available on this already. Just scrap this build you have here and take notes from the dozens and dozens of builds you come across.
Edit:
Mixing hover/flight and electric melee is a very, very bad idea. Lightning rod will not activate if you are not on the ground, and detoggling/toggling hover would get incredibly annoying. Combat jumping is preferable as it still adds the marginal 1.88% defense and allows for blessing of the zephyr.
I haven't verified it, but I believe shield charge also will not work while hovering/flying.
I took your suggestions and made the following changes

I don't have mids up on my laptop, but if you want to rework your builds, here are some things I see:
- If money isn't an issue, red fortune really isn't that great of a set compared to 4-slotting luck of the gambler. If money IS an issue, save some coin and go with red fortunes for all of your defensive toggles. I'm thinking if you move some slots from Phalanx, you'll find the slot space you need.
- True Grit benefits most from slotting +health over resistance. Your unique IO's are nice, but you also want to add health to that. The small amount of AoE def you get from Aegis there is less than the benefit you would get from adding more HP.
- If you want scirrocco in Thunderstrike, only use 5 and have the 6th slot be the force feedback chance for +rech. It's useful on AoE KB attacks (excluding Lightning Rod and Shield Charge, which it does nothing for you)
- The -end you get from a second slot in Against all Odds is negligable. You'll be happier placing that extra slot elsewhere.
- To increase recovery, 4 slot stamina with performance shifter (+end proc, end mod, end/acc, end/rech)
- Phalanx Fightning is overslotted. Actually, 2 slots is overslotting it. What you want to do is calculate the 3.75% def to all it gives you and leave it unenhanced, excluding possibly throwing a LOTG 7.5 in there.
- You need a steadfast protection res/def unique somewhere. It adds 3% defense to all. Might I suggest placing it in true grit?
- Acrobatics offers you nothing. There are plenty of other useful things you could have.
- You want at least 2 slots in hasten for recharge. The more you can have it active, the more oten LR/SC recharges quickly.
- If you have the room for slots, patrons are always nice. Elec offers an AoE Immob (which while it's AoE, I like my knockdown so I avoid), a hard-hitting single target attack for it's attack speed, a moderate AoE attack - or you can leave the thematic, go with Soul Mastery and pick up an AoE attack that also debuffs to-hit for an added layer of protection for when your defenses start getting debuffed! A single-target attack can be 6 slotted with thunderstrike for 3.75% total range defense or 5 slotted for 1.88% AoE def with Ruin. Your targeted AoE can also get a similar AoE defense bonus if you pick up Detonation (I think that's the set)
QR,
Your melee is at 43%. The magic number is 45%. You may have Phalanx figting set to 1 friendly in range. This'll skew the number. You need to change it to 0 in the mids database.
Like the other guy suggested I'd move the slots for Phalanx Figting to Hasten or something.
I always just slot Phalanx Fighting and Grant Cover with LOTG uniques.
And yes, get rid of acrobatics. Pickup OWTS or something.
You don't need to 2 slot health if you're not putting the uniques in there.
To get melee up to at least 45%, slot that darn steadfast protection 3% defense! Then you can remove some slots where you have a full set of red fortunes.
would you mind showing me your recommended setup in Mids with the idea that cost is an object.
thanks
This is the build I'm building for on my scrapper (lvl 49 at the moment, just missing the purple sets and a few of the more expensive items). There are two powers that aren't (AFAIK) available to brutes, but it might give you some slotting ideas.

This is what I could come up with on the fly. This is an end-game, low-end build, and would be very poor for leveling up, due to level slotting and a lack of attacks before you reach the patrons. Thematically, I chose to stick with Scirrocco, but you'll be happier if you grab gloom/dark obliteration over Scirroco with the added to-hit debuff until you get your IOs slotted.
I gravitated towards cheaper recipe sets on the market. There are some expensive things in here - but those can be added later. For example, those numina health IOs in true grit can be generic. The same with the health IOs. However, melee defense sets are expensive, and you have your pick between obliterations for AoE and touch of death for single targets. I'm actually thinking obliteration is cheaper now (and has better bonuses). However, I broke the rule of 5 with this build (unavoidable as I needed the defense bonuses, though I could pick up BoTZ and put it in SS or something to fix that) However, in keeping the cost low, I decided to skip Blessing Of the Zephyr entirely.
The last two IOs in stamina are a low priority. It caps your AoE, which isn't that important. You'll notice charged brawl isn't slotted at all. You'll be using your other attacks mostly, with boxing/CB being used to build fury initially. You could potentially drop jacob's ladder and replace it with havoc punch or 6 slot charged brawl and pick up another power. You'd use Touch of Death then to make up for the lost 3.75% melee defense. So, you still have some flexibility in deciding exactly what you want. You don't even really need to hit the AoE defense soft-cap. It's nice, but not necessary.

thanks ill plug this into mids to see which works best with other ideas i have had. thanks for assisting
Here's my simple and easy build, hits the melee def. softcap with ranged a step behind and AoE another step behind it. All of the uniques are easy enough to get with the bronze 10-14 reward roll using AE tickets. A couple sets will run you some shinies (the ToD and Oblit) but overall stayed away from purples and expensive LoTG sets. I always take True Grit early and Battle Agility in the 20's after I get endurance 3 slotted. You'll get alot more mileage out of the extra HP's from true grit without any endurance loss than you will the defensive toggle in those early levels. And Active Defense is a must, and early, I'm not sure how anyone can wait till the late game to get it as it's arguably one of the best defensive powers in the set and keeps you off your butt. I as a rule generally do not take Aid Self, I keep a few green insps to pop when I need them, and I'd rather use those two power picks for something better.

Nice build, Whiskey Jack. I think I like it best out of the ones that have been posted. (Though I would probably use GotA rather than Serendipity in BA and Weave.)
If you (or the OP) wanted to soft-cap your build for Ranged and AoE, it would be very easy to do--just swap out the Decimations in Mu Lightning for Thunderstrike, and the Positron's in Ball Lightning for Detonation.
