Elect/Dark Brute or Scrapper?

Have high lvl scrappers and brutes so vaguely kow the difference between the two AT's. Given the powers I am looking at (elect/dark), what are your recommedations between the two classes? Never played these two sets and have a concept for them together.

By way of background, I PvE only and try to team 95% of the time. Currnently on a melee kick and looking at AOE focus powers (thus also rolling a spines/fire scrapper and a earth/ shield brute).

Thank you in advance for your advise.

Lightning Rod cannot get the full benefits of brute damage cap, since it's a pseudo pet. For that reason alone, I'd say go scrapper.

Despite what you may hear, Dark Armor is fine on a brute. It generally makes minions not contribute to fury, but fury is easy enough to build by soaking alphas and attacking.

Late to the thread, but Electic/Dark scrappers kick ***. Lightning Rod, Dark Regeneration, and psychotic laughter were made for each other.
