I just rolled an Elec/Fire myself a few days ago and me and my friend were tweaking the build to achieve basically everything you're asking for.
I'm in the office, so I don't have access to Mid's (yay, productivity!), but off the top of my head, the basic details are:
5-slot all your AoE powers (Thunderstrike, Burn, Blazing Aura, LR) with Obliteration. Add a 6th Obliteration to LR and Burn, drop a Force Feedback +Recharge IO into Thunderstrike, and an EndRdx Common into Blazing Aura.
You'll need to grab Hasten, Combat Jumping, Hover and the Fighting Pool. 4-slot all Resistance Armors with Reactive Armor and drop an LotG +Recharge IO into the three defensive powers you now have. One of your resist powers will have a 5th slot for the Steadfast Protection Unique (+3% defense). I'm using a Karma KB Protection IO, so I have an extra slot in Combat Jumping. Obviously, this slot can be shifted around, based on which of the KB Protection IOs you have.
I picked up every Elec Melee power except for Jacob's Ladder (I hate it) and Lightning Clap (useless). I skipped Fiery Embrace, Rise of the Phoenix and Temperature Protection from FA (I will pick them up in i19, however). As usual, all single-target attacks are 4-slotted with Kinetic Combat (except Boxing, so I only have 3 Kinetic Combats sets in the build). I picked up Mu Mastery, so Mu Lightning is 5-slotted with Decimation for more Recharge. The cone and the AoE are 5-slotted with Positron's Blast.
This post is getting a bit long, so I'll tell you the results:
32.9% S/L defense, 140% Recharge (15 seconds away from perma-hasten). No purples or PvP IOs in the build. Didn't really check the HP numbers (and the regen isn't much to write home about - about 175% I think). The END usage might be an issue, but I have my hands on a Numina Unique (yay, Hero Merits!) and the end drain from Elec might help.
I'll post the Mid's build later when I get home.
Here is a build I am working on for my Elec/Fire Brute. It has 36.3% s/l/melee def and is 22 sec from perma hasten. I wasn't willing to sacrifice enough to get the rest...lol. Healing flames is still available about every 15 secs.
It should be pretty strong and have no issues with endurance at all. I also did not use any purples or PvP IO's.

One minor change you can do to get more recharge is to replace the Oblit proc in Thunderstrike with Force Feedback +recharge proc. You would reduce defense to 34.9%, but that proc goes off pretty often in an AoE.
With this going off regularly you will have perma hasten.
I made some changes here.. don't think you should slot consume for dmg even if its to get a def bonus. This build you have seems to be end heavy because of the lack of end reduction overall. Anyway

Well, I was trying to find a slightly-less-conventional-than-Elec/SD Brute build. I kinda want to have the ABILITY to farm on it, though I want it to be more or less a PvE monster, no matter what I do. I'm not rolling in it, so I'd rather not have any purples in the build, but as far as everything else is concerned, it's fair game. I like lots of recharge, mainly because I like seeing healing flames, burn, Lightning Rod, and Thunder Strike up as often as possible, but if there's a way to softcap it or get a hefty HP buff in the process, I'd love to see it. I played around with this one in Mids for a while, and just got frustrated as I couldn't really find a build that worked for me, so I was hoping someone, or multiple people, here would shed the light on a strong build for me.
