"It depends on the situation."
Brutes who can maintain 70 or higher fury will meet or exceed the damage of an unbuffed scrapper. Otherwise scrappers will outdamage brutes. If you're tanking medium to large spawns, getting and keeping that much fury isn't a problem. If you're not getting defensive fury generation, you're unlikely to get over 50-60 fury just from attacking and a few stray shots from the mobs.
Off the cuff I think claws' followup favors scrappers and their higher AT modifier, though. It's basically a constant damage buff, which I think would tend to get 'swallowed by' fury and/or the brute's lower AT mod, but is very, very sweet on a scrapper.
"Experience is the mother of good judgement. Bad judgement is the father of experience."
If you're worried about damage, I'd say go with the scrapper.
If you want survival, go with the brute. The higher resistance caps will certainly be noticeable, especially if you use Unstoppable.
