Claws / Stone Brute Not Possible?

I must've missed a memo somewhere, but why is it not possible to create a Claws / Stone combo for Brutes?

I mean, I know why we can't make a Claws / Shield or Dual Blades / Shield Brute (Shield requires that one hand be free, while Claws and Dual Blades are two-handed sets).

But I don't see any conflicts between the Claws and the Stone Armor sets. What am I missing?

I remember seeing a picture on the forums of a Granite Brute doing Eviscerate that someone took during the Issue-whichever Beta. It looked pretty silly.

I have to wonder, with Power Customization, if it would be possible to develop an alternate set of animations which would only be unlocked for Stone Armor (or hell, give them to all Brute secondaries, but Stone Armor Brutes would be locked into them). Unless there were other issues with the combo that I'm not recalling, this would pretty much solve the problem (insert standard coding rant here).
