Anything/Anything but Energy Aura.
My guides:Dark Melee/Dark Armor/Soul Mastery, Illusion Control/Kinetics/Primal Forces Mastery, Electric Armor
"Dark Armor is a complete waste as a tanking set."
So wouldnt really matter the AT? and powers are pretty open as well too?
For soloing Brutes are way better. For teams, Tanks control agro/take damage, and Brutes act as heavy/slower scrappers.
It sounds like you might want a Brute if you want to be able to put down Elite Bosses solo, or do any real damage.
For powersets it depends on the way you want to do it. I have a SS/Will Brute 50 that is my main, and very easy to run. Think automatic car with a big engine. But he is a little squishy. My new Dark/Invul Brute is much sturdier, but like driving a truck, gotta plan your turns way in advance and shift a lot.
Some people swear br Fire attacks for damage, and they would not be wrong. I just don't like the animations that much. I am a costume/concept purist.
You should be able to get help on the way to go, once you decide what direction you want to go and ask more specific questions.

Tankers are the masters of mitigation, running in and getting their face punched in without really minding it. They can dish out moderate damage, but can absorb endless amounts of incoming strikes.
Scrappers are the lord of laying down damage and barons of beating the enemy. While having weaker defense values than Tankers, they are able to do absurd amounts of damage and often get double-damage criticals.
Brutes are bloodthirsty brain-bashing berserkers that do more damage the longer their battles take. They have a higher HP cap and modifier than Scrappers, and as such serve as the fusion between the Unstoppable Force and the Immovable Object: The Immovable Force. They are hard to kill, hard to weaken, and hit just as hard as Scrappers when their Fury is full.
