The goal of your build is probably softcapping defense, and overlapping active defense at all time. I don't think you have much choice here but to use quite a lot of purples.
For your power choice, I would drop melt armor and pick up one with the shield instead, which is a better utility as far as survival is concerned. For your slotting, you have 6 LotG +7.5, so you should drop one of them. Overall, I think you can have a slightly lower global recharge rate, and still achieve your goal. This will allow you to slot some of your powers better. I re-slotted a couple part of your build as below.

- Active Defense should get at least another slot, and both of those should be membrane HOs - this will add precious DDR.
- Even with the Cardiac Boost, you should try to up your Recovery & Reduce your consumption.
- Swap your slotting for KO Blow & Haymaker, then remove the Hecatomb Proc from Brawl and put that in Haymaker as well - drop the +Damage Hecatomb, or +Damage/Rec - in any ST attack chain you will use Haymaker more often than KO Blow, giving the Hecatomb Proc more chances to fire off.
- Get at least 2 L50 health IOs into True Grit. 3 Numi Pieces is even better - Not slotting for +HP means you lose nearly 150 HP
Here's a few of these changes added in:

Just wanted to say; Thanks for that build, Deus. I moved a slot from True Grit over to Foot Stomp to put the Force Feedback -Recharge Proc in at a loss of about .8% Resist, IIRC. Otherwise, it's pretty much what I'm gonna do for my final build. Respeced into the build except minus the purples, the PvPO, the Hami's and a couple LotGs. Just have Decimations, Posi's and Commons in place until I save up the inf and A Merits. Looking forward to it a ton.
Thanks again.
This is my planned (super expensive) build for my SS/Shield Brute. I think it looks pretty good but if there's any way I can make it better, let me know!
