It's better on a scrapper because of Blinding Feint. It provides a +dam stackable buff that is essential to any of your attack chain. And scrappers benefit from it more due to a higher base dmg, while brutes comparatively get less from it.
I heard from Nihilii (I did not do the math, but I'm pretty sure he was accurate), that a Dual Blade brute needs to be at 90% Fury to equal scrapper's dps. Usually you prefer to count 75%-80% Fury average on a brute. You'll be at 90% Fury on your brute, but you wont be always there.
On the other hand, depending on your secondary, and if you take into account your survivability a brute can be a good choice too. Brutes have more hps, a 90% resistance cap, and get alot more from some secondaries. All of their secondaries get also taunt auras, that can be annoying if you team with a tank and dont want any aggro, but are a blessing in the end game with a top end build when basically you dont want any critter running away from you.
Have fun 
Thanks for the reply Ehina.
In all honesty, I haven't played blue side since CoV came out so this might be the excuse I need. I'm thinking I should go make a DB/Regen scrapper.

It depends on how many stacks of BF you're managing. If you're getting 1 stack (37.5% +dam for Scrappers, 30% +dam for Brutes), a Brute would need 75% Fury (1.125 * 1.075 * (1 + .95 + .375) = .75 * (1 + .95 + .3 + (x * .02))) to equal a Scrapper. If you're getting 2 stacks, a Brute would need 90% Fury (1.125 * 1.075 * (1 + .95 + (.375 * 2)) = .75 * (1 + .95 + (.3 * 2) + (x * .02))).|

Something else to remember is that Brutes are also going to be getting more out of the Attack Vitals and Sweep attack strings because Fury fully augments the bonus damage whereas Critical does not get any benefit from them. It's a small difference, but it's present.
Either way, it doesn't really matter. I would choose based on preference. From a purely numerical perspective, they're going to get roughly the same performance if you can manage 75% Fury (of which there is a good bit of evidence to prove that most people should be able to) and better performance if you can manage more than that (getting more than one stack of BF can be problematic if you're going with combos).
Hi all,
I've heard through the grapevine that the damage factor would be better if used with a scrapper, so I was wondering which AT I should use.
Thx in advance =-)
