My first 50 is a Dual Blades/Willpower Brute. Now that I am looking at end-game I would just like some advice about enhancements etc.

Without a real high resist or defense power I am assuming it would be expensive or even impossible to hit the "soft cap". What can I do? The character is quite playable but I am entering unkown territory here. If I cannot get (or cannot afford) this elusive cap will i still be able to keep pace at lvl 50+1 ?

Idk if it's expensive, but its not impossible to hit soft cap to S/L.
I have seen it done more than once.

I tend to stop at around 32.5% and made a bind to combine some of other inspirations to purples. Then I can spend the rest of my slots on rech or w/e that toon needs.

I agree with this. 32.5% s/l def is very reliable in terms of survivability for a WP brute. I'd also try to slot about the same amount of n/ne def too though, as WP doesn't have so much resist to it as far as I remember. At least ne won't drain so much end if it won't hit!

But of course it's definitely more survivable if you have the softcap to s/l, but you can do without it if you're ready to pop purples to survive.
