Your basic plan looks sound, although I'd probably want to move Rage up to 28, move up Tough and Weave, and move the passives back. I think you may have overslotted Health in pursuit of bonuses, but that's a personal preference. The chief problem that I see is that you skimped a bit on your most basic attacks. You aren't getting all you could out of Tough, either.|

Yeah, I was trying to keep the defence as high as possible too so I had to lose out a bit on the offensive side of things, I will pretty much only be using it for TFs/Hami raids once it's up so figured def/res > damage, about to start a lgtf atm so haven't really had a good look, will have a proper look after. Thanks for the advice though
Well if its for hami get rid of taunt and replace it whirl wind to taunt with that instead get rid of unyielding set your brawl with a full set of hecatomb and 3 recharge in rest and u be fine. :P JK of course. its the latest joke going round justice.
Lucky you mentioned that was a joke, was about to respec the build completely around those parameters 
I've had a look at the build you posted up and for the mostpart I like it, I've had a fiddle, dropping 3 slots from knockout blow and replacing the sets with nucleous exposures to keep the accuracy/damage fairly high and 1 slot from hasten allowing me to add the hamio to the early attacks and 2 slots to tough. Pretty close to the build you posted with softcap smash/lethal and 90% resistance to it also 
Think I'll respec into it unless someone has further suggestions. Thanks for the advice Heraclea.

Hell, last time I went on a hami raid, it was all about perma-Rest and 6-slotted Brawl. How things change...
They ALL float down here. When you're down here with us, you'll float too!
@Starflier
Will probably leave everything empty other than recharge bonuses, slap some purples in to try and get recharge time up a bit. 6 recharge SOs in brawl right?
I think you could swap some of your acc enhancing in your attacks for end reducing. Mostly because your Invuln and SS so not only do you get +tohit from Invincible but +tohit from Rage. I have less Acc and Tohit as my Invuln and I don't see a need for more. I do have a lower end costing build which I find very nice.
He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.
I always recommend respecing in leveling order so you'll have the powers you need if you exempt. In this case, that means delaying RPD until the 20s so you can take Invinc right at 18.
Other than that, the 5th Reactive Armor slots in RPD and TI are unneeded for end reduction and you can find a much better use for those slots than getting a .63% F/C bonus. If you really want an F/C bonus, 3-slot Aegis in one of the passives instead.
UY and Tough are underslotted for resistance, and Tough is underslotted for end reduction. Instead of wasting the Reactive Armor set in RPD, which doesn't need end red at all, I'd recommend 4-slotting both UY and Tough with RA, and putting at most 3 slots in RPD. Imperv Armor is fine, but Aegis would be better, IMO. And move the Steadfast +def to RPD, it doesn't need much slotting since you'll be close to the S/L resist cap with Tough fully slotted.
KoB and Foot Stomp are both underslotted for end reduction. (KoB could use more recharge, too, IMO.) If you want to stick with the Hami-Os in KoB add some recharge and end red from another set. In Foot Stomp, the Scirocco's Dervish Dam/End and Acc/Dam/End would be a better choice than your current slotting. You'd get 10% regen bonus too.
The +Recharge and Defense IOs are the most expensive LotG IOs, so why not use a full 4 slots instead, for the HP and Acc bonus. I'd suggest the Def/End and Def/End/Rchg since currently Invinc and Weave are underslotted for end reduction.
Also, if you need slots for something else, taking them from CJ is an option. CJ's base defense value is low, so those slots aren't getting you as much defense as the ones in your other def powers.

Knight Court--A CoH Story Complete 2/3/2012
I recently finished leveling my Invul/SS to 50, and one think I've found to be really interesting is to slot the Gaussian's: chance for Build-up in Invincibility.
From what I can tell it checks against every enemy engaged in melee with you, which when Invincibility is moderately saturated, the result is a 30% - 40% chance of it firing. Not only does it seem to fire off more frequently, but it also fires off at times when the damage boost will actually be useful.
Just offering an alternative view. As I seem to think 6 slotted Rage for a mere 1.25% S/L, F/C, E/N is a bit questionable.
