Yes, Stone/SR will be a massive endurance hog, but prob no more so then Inv. Stone/Inv is a good deal tougher though, especially in the early levels. Im not sure what you mean by 'weird aura thing'.
Also...You do realize that standing at range throwing boulders at people is just about the worst possible way to play Stone. Hurl Boulder is most certainly the worst power in Stone melee.

The invulnerability weird aura thing is a circle fence thing that spins around the character on the ground whenever you have Unyielding or maybe Invulnerabity on. It's dark for brutes and brighter for tankers. I do not like it.|

I know that hurling boulders is inefficient, but I like the idea of picking up a big rock and chucking it at whoever is shooting at me. I so wish we could pick up and throw cars in this game.
Yeah, Unyielding (Inv's mez protection toggle) still has the circling energy fence graphics.
You can at least colour it however you like now, but I dont think you can make it disappear.
Stone/Sr sounds like a pretty rare combination. SR blooms late but becomes very strong in the late game. I'd give it a go if I were you.
I believe Invul has a minimal/no fx option in the custom powers screen.
It may have been an endurance heavy thing in the past, but now with Energy Mastery open to brutes- all of your blue bar problems should be gone. Hell, my ss/sd is a beast now. Well, without a kin, that is... 
Words to the wise aren't necessary- it's the stupid ones that need them.
"You're right...I forgot...being constantly at or the near the damage cap is a big turn off. Definitely not worth it."

Ive tried Stone to 45and SR to 50, but never Stone/SR. However...I don't think it will work very well. You'll have END issues until epic levels. Stone doesn't really complement SR and vice versa. I mean, I'm not saying it would be unplayable, but it would lack synergy and be somewhat painful to play IMO.
The Stone I referenced earlier is Stone/Invul, and he's really tough in the late game, but it was not a fast or fun ride to the top. If I were to ever play Stone again I'd couple it w/ Willpower.
