I hope you like carnies.

I think i have to disagree with you there. I love AE farming, i can make about 100mil in an hour on even the worst days.

Would this also be one of the best farms for a Electric / Fire?

I agree, I can get 1500 tickets in AE every 10 minutes. Then I can roll for recipes and average around 20mil a run (sometimes 50-70mil, others only around 5-10mil). Farming BM on the other hand can take a few runs just to get anything decent sometimes...

Gotta ask, because I've been considering getting a brute together for this.
Why not /shield? The Dmg bonus from AaO and the extra AoE attack looks very nice.

Shield is still good, but if you're set on making a shield toon, I would go with a Scrapper since they get more out of AAO. SS/Fire has Burn and FE, it's just that good.

But you can't make a SS/SD Scrapper 
And scrappers only get +2.5% more damage from the first mob. That's the only diff between Scrap and Brute AaO

That's true. SS/Shield will be awesome no doubt, but now I'd say SS/Fire is better for farming overall.

Also SS/Shield eats through endurance like a fat guy at a buffet, whereas /Fire has Consume to help offset the Rage and Hasten crashes.

With a constant heard of mobs like you can get in AE, burn+FE > shield charge+AAO. Over time that is.
Not to mention that its crazy easy and cheap to make a good SS/fire(/mu) farmer for at least the very limited application of farming an AE fire map.

I thought it was hard/expensive to make a farming SS/fire beacuse of end issues

Rage debuffs defense severely when Rage crashes, half your defenses about if capped.
Sure, you're likely perm at 50 and slotted, but you have to get there and avoid recharge debuffs.
Super strength also doesn't have that much to keep the enemy from hitting you. It does have knockdown, but no debuffs, little stun and all smashing damage which enemies resist most just like players prepare for.
I'm a fan of super strength too, but it just doesn't seem like the best for farming to me.
I don't know what is the best, but I wouldn't peg SS as it.

Isn't Rage crash only a 10% defense debuff? I don't really pay attention to it since I play a resistance based toon.

SS doesn't really suffer from those things you mentioned. Rage is perma with nothing but SO level slotting, so that's not a problem. With a farming build recharge is important, meaning players are likely to have Footstomp recharging in less than 10 seconds. That AoE knockdown so frequently provides tons of damage mitigation, and with Fury and Rage pumping your damage into the +400-500%, plus the extra damage from all those reds inpsirations you're getting, pure smashing damage is -nothing- to worry about.

I would suggest considering SS/fire/pyre as another option. I respec'd my SS/fire/mu to SS/fire/pyre and have been quite pleased. With the changes to FE, fireball is a very attractive TAoE and, with the fear effect removed from burn, I have not missed the immob effect of elec fences...mostly. The -res effect of melt armor is not bad either.
