It's plenty to take down AVs. Don't know about Gloom.

I'm no math expert, but by the numbers I got, at 0 percent fury Gloom added about 4 DPS, which obviously would increase significantly as fury increased.
Also, for my build using G-I-S-C-S i got around 190 DPS at 75% fury, which seems awfully high. I adjusted for arcanatime, but every attack has at least 90% enhancement and I have around 30% global damage buffage, so that might have something to do with it. As of now I can run the chain for 8 minutes and 20 seconds without running dry on endurance, and when I get low, I can drop gloom out of the equation for 8 minutes and 20 seconds and be back to a full end bar.
As long as my math isn't wrong, this should be downright lovely. 
Whoops, I messed up my rounding for the Arcanatime, the end result being that the chain is worth more like 180 DPS with gloom at 75% fury, and I could run it for about 24 minutes without running out of endurance.

~170 DPS Scrapper-wise, more if you're adding the Hecatomb damage proc into Scorch.|

I Don't know about Gloom, but in BillZ's thread 'The Results are in", Gloom was excellent for dps. Top DPS chain for Fire Brute was Gloom - Incinerate - GFS at 213 dps and 3.83 eps.
While I'm here I have one more question.
What sort of difficulty level could a Fire/SR run at with Aid Self?

Pinnacle
Langar Thurs-Katana/SR 50; Hejtmane-DM/DA 50
Rogue Spear-Spines/DA 50; Hypnosis-Ill/Rad 50
Sir Thomas Theroux-DM/SR 50; Melted Copper-Fire/Shield 50
Byzantine Warrior-DB/ELA 50;Blade Tempo-50 DB/EA

My 50 Fire/SR runs at +4/x8 for any mission without an AV, using a build that is softcapped and does not have Aid Self - I went the Fireball route for more AoE excellence. I have a seperate build I switch to for AV soloing, which has Aid Self and Conserve Power.

So you can successfully use it for farming?

Definately.

While the answer is probably still yes it is worth noting that Gaidin is using Fireball from the scrapper epic pools to boost his AoE damage and that isn't available to brutes. So a brute would likely not farm as well as a scrapper unless there is an equivalent in their epic pools (And I don't know).|

The survivability side of things would still be good enough though.

Brutes can get Dark Obliteration from the GW PPP and Ball Lightning from the Mu PPP. Neither are quite as hard-hitting as Fireball but are comparable.

I'll make it brief: the low recharge FM attack chain:
Incinerate-->Scorch-->Cremate-->Scorch
Does it have enough DPS to take down an AV?
(I know this is the scrapper forum, but the brute numbers are similar enough that I think it's fine either way)
Also, if I threw a Gloom in before incinerate would the DPS increase be enough to outweigh the additional end use?
