While it's possible that you may get an answer, it's unlikely. This is the "Players helping players find information related to CoH/CoV" section and devs rarely answer questions here.

Because the Devs hate villains...hang on, this can't be right....*shrugs shoulders*
Ermm, what they said, PM him and see, but if Brutes and Doms get it nerfed down to 20 seconds because he didnt realise and its an oversight the fire brutes/doms are gonna come round and get you 
The answer is simple: Bacon takes longer to cook on redside.

Because it's usually cloudier and darker in the Isles, thus heat stays trapped within the atmosphere longer, resulting in a longer Fiery Embrace period.
Duh.
Random FACT!: if you boil water at the top of Mount Everest, it won't burn you because the pressure is low because you're the only one there, But in the rouge isles the pressure is high because of all the dead people around! Does that answer it? They want the pasta your villain makes for dinner to be AWESOME! Not the absolute garbage you get at Mount Everest!
If that doesn't answer it only castle can answer it!
But.... if it was a mistake and you warned them! My Fire/fire Dom and Brute will kill you!, Slowly, we will slow cook you, put you on a spit and make you die slowly and dizzily!

If you are treasure hunting on a battlefield wearing an enemy uniform, there is a high probability that you will be attacked.
This is an enjoy-the-ride game. "50" is only a number, not the goal of the game. - Noxilicious
If you compare scrappers and tankers, scrappers have a higher damage buff percentage, and they are on the same timer. I guess the dev don't want the damage percentage to be high, so they let the damage buff percentage of brutes to inheret that of tankers, but make the buff lasts longer. (This only explains the fire part)
Actually, I think it would be the best if you post the question in one of the AT forums. And then ask if Castle can spare a few minutes to answer publicly in the post. This way, everybody can know why. If Castle replies in a PM, it is not clear whether you can share the answer with us or not.
Edit: I know that the damage buff is linked to the AT modifier. But this does not void the argument that the dev may want to give brutes a better buff by increasing the buff duration instead of changing the buff value.
Well, I sent a short PM to Castle pointing him to this thread, if he chooses to answer, wonderful.
If not, oh well, I was just curious, wasn't trying to *DAMAND ANSEWR NAO!1!!* or anything. 
Also..

Just so you know, I doubt it has to do with the damage buff, as the damage buff is exactly the same for each version (specifically 10.0 scale fire and 8.0 all else) except for the fire buff duration| If you compare scrappers and tankers, scrappers have a higher damage buff percentage, and they are on the same timer.

The percents are only different because of the AT Melee damage buff mods:
Tank/Brute = 0.1
Scrapper = 0.125
Dominator = 0.085
Resulting in the percentages you see once they're multiplied together by the game

"Just as a standing rule, PMs from me can generally be quoted and put up on the forums. The cases where this is not true, I always include a comment to that effect in the PM…"

Looks like the Brute value is wrong. The Dominator value is meant to be longer duration.

Why does Fiery Embrace(Specifically the Fire damage buff) last 20 seconds for Scrappers/Tanks, and 30 seconds for Brutes/Dominators For the life of me I can't think of good reason why. Well you know...except the fact that the devs hate heroes(wait...what?  ) |
