I did not take any epics.. I used most of the AOE attacks in elec to help slot for S/L Defence. Consume is a great power when used correctly and Firey Embrace really helps pump the dmg high. I don't really use taunt that much even tho I have it as the Firey Aura holds agro well enough for me. Just slot for Melee and S/L defence and recharge as much as you can.

He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.
My feeling is that if you have to ask, then you need to take Taunt. If you can learn to do with out it, then consider skipping. I have a general problem with many posted builds, not just on the Brute forums, that they are too advanced for many players trying use them. We should have some newbie builds up that are easier to play.
Goals for a new Brute:
1. Get three attacks for your attack chain,
2. Get three good defensive powers to keep you standing up-right (you have no damage or fury if you faceplant).
3. Then take Boxing & Tough, then get Taunt and your damage aura, if you have one.
At this point you should be around level 16 to 18 and you're readying to go to town. Choose attack powers and defensive powers freely.
If you have Taunt and find you don't need to use it, you can respec out of it. But if you aren't sure yet, take it, it's a hugely useful power. At minimum, the -Range debuf is probably worth it alone.
