My thoughts say that if you haven't been having any Endurace issues with DC, then why change?
Unless I've forgotten something, there's no change being made to Consume.

Dark Consumption is better than Consume. I wouldn't change. If you are going to respec do it for another reason than changing that power.
Isn't Consume offerend endurance protection or something?

But the recharge is still balls, so I'd opt for DC.

Well done. |

Both DC and Consume are on 3 min timers. DC does a bit more damage (minor). I was just wondering if the increased +end recovery and end drain protection is just going to be better for Brutes (seems like it should).|

The real difference between the two is that dark consumption has an 8' radius where consume has a 20' radius. Based on that alone, I would go with consume over DC, it is going to be a lot easier to cap your end rec on consume than dark consumption.

Consume (i18 version)wins all the way. It has 15 seconds of 5% recovery per target hit and it grants 50% endurance resistance for 120 seconds. It also has superior targeting geometry (20' versus 8').
Thats what I thought...Thanks guys.

+1 to the Consume over DC. Even without the upcoming i18 changes, the vastly bigger radius would give it my vote.

Take both and drop the fitness pool
Take both, slot 'em for damage and recharge. You're a DM/FA, you need the AOE!
Consume is the undisputed winner now. Even if you don't need to drain endurance right then, it's still useful for the endurance recovery now. With IO's, I imagine you can get away with slotting it up for damage/recharge/endrecovery and just use it whenever it is up, regardless of whether or not you really NEED it right then.
I still like Dark Consumption of course, but I can't imagine needing both. With the new Ancillary Pool options available to Brutes "lack of AOE" just flew out the window.
Yeah, I was thinking I was forgetting something about Consume, but couldn't find it in the Beta Patch Notes. iFail. 
Consume is the way to go.

Hey Fellow Brutes:
On the Eve of Going Rogue Launch, my 1st level 50: Dark Melee/Fire Aura Brute has a free respec that I probably should use up.
He is currently spec'd for Dark Consumption (auto hit and bigger damage) over Consume but with the changes being added to Fire Aura I was wondering if I should burn the freespec now and flip over to Consume.
Thoughts?
