Blinding Feint and Fury enhance BASE damage, not enhanced damage. They don't stack multiplicatively, they stack additively.

In at least a couple ways. Without double checking the actual damage numbers directly, certainly your ablating strike numbers have to be wrong somewhere: the numbers are almost identical for Scrappers and Brutes and that can't be right.| I have to be doing the math wrong. Aren't I? |
Second, you're multiplying together all the damage buff sources for the Brute and that's wrong. Damage buffs add, not multiply that way. That's acting to make the brute damage come out way higher than it should.
In other words, you're not supposed to take base damage and multiply by slotting then multiply again by BF's buff and then multiply again by Fury. You're supposed to add up all the damage buffs together, and multiply base damage by that final sum of all damage buffs.

Hmm, ok. I'm not sure why my brute numbers were so off, AS=55.1, BF=33.4, SS=70.9
I put the numbers in about a month ago, perhaps those were the enhanced numbers, then I multiplied the enhancements again as well.
So I'm still sane by saying Scrappers do a good deal more damage.
Also good to know that you should multiply the damage buff, then add the attacks in the chain.
Your character does not have capped defense. Depending on your AT the cap is between 175% - 225%. Your defense is not teal in the combat window, it can go higher. STOP SAYING IT IS CAPPED! The correct term is Soft Cap.
I enjoy playing in Mids. I specialize in Melee Characters, other AT's usually bore me.
Just wondering, what are the numbers of EA's added recharge? I mean would one target be enough for the attack chain? +Recharge aura just seems odd because in order to maximize it, you would have to run to next group as fast as possible.

Brute DB can not touch the Scrapper's performance.

Guessing the first one is for the first target and then the 2nd one is for each additional.

If I remember right, anyway.

Hmm i thought the recharge would be higher. Wouldn't ELA and SR's 20% recharge be better since its always on? And ELA has a damage aura 
I was debating whether to re-roll my DB/EA brute into a scrapper for extra damage. However after doing some comparison's, the brute seems to be out classing the scrapper which I don't think should be.
AS->BF->AS->SS is the attack chain I am planning on. Animation time = 5.436 seconds (there is a pause because AS doesn't quite recharge fast enough).
Double Stacked Blinding Feint = 37.5 * 2 = 75% Dam Buff
Power Name ---- Base Damage ---- Enhancement ---- Enhanced Damage
Ablating Strike ------- 90.8 ------------- 96.89 ------------- 178.78
Blinding Feint -------- 55.1 ------------- 95.01 ------------- 107.45
Sweeping Strike ----- 122.3 ------------ 96.89 ------------- 240.8
So ((178.78*2)+107.45+240.8) = 705.81/5.436 = 130.08 * (double stacked Blinding Feint) = 227.64 DPS (130.08 * 1.75)
I'm not sure how to calculate for crits.... >.>
Brute Numbers:
Power Name ---- Base Damage ---- Enhancement ---- Enhanced Damage
Ablating Strike ------ 90.4 -------------- 96.89 ------------- 177.99
Blinding Feint ------- 44.1 -------------- 95.01 ------------- 86
Sweeping Strike ---- 106.2 ------------- 96.89 ------------- 209.1
((177.99*2)+86+209.1) = 651.08/5.436 = 119.77 * (double stacked Blinding Feint) = 209.6 * 134 damage buff (Fury) = 490.46??? (209.6 * 2.34)
