You're a Brute. When all else fails it always comes down to the rock.
Weight training: Because you'll never hear someone lament "If only I were weaker, I could have saved them."
Would strongly recommend Fire Blast or Gloom for ranged options and standard use in your attack chain.
I love TBS' "rock" reply 
One thing my Brute likes about Hurl is that it brings down those pesky flyers.
It also hits hard if slotted well.
That said, it takes forever to animate...
Fire is much faster and does very good damage.
Gloom is very fast, does good damage. My only issue with Gloom is that it's
a DoT, so when I use it against runners, I'm never quite sure if it's going
to finish them off or not.
With Hurl and Fire, I know right away. Unfortunately, with Hurl, if it doesn't
kill them, they're usually gone for awhile.
Depending on what other toys you may have, Nemmie Staff and Blackwand
are also decent ranged powers ... if you have some global ToHit / Accuracy
to improve their hit rate (I can't see your build here, at work).
If you're only going to leave the base slot in whatever option you take, then,
Vet powers become much more viable possibilities imho.
I've never had a toon that has Laser Eyes, so I've got no opinion on that one.

I've been rich, and I've been poor. Rich is definitely better.
Light is faster than sound - that's why some people look smart until they speak.
For every seller who leaves the market dirty stinkin' rich,
there's a buyer who leaves the market dirty stinkin' IOed. - Obitus.
I had a Elec/SS tank with Laser Eyes and Chose that over Hurl because I had hurl and it takes way to long for the attack to actually go out and is a Fury killer im guessing, I did change Laser Eyes for Fire Blast though, Does much more damage.
These days it's not a fury killer in the slightest. The changes to fury generation were made to keep your bonus high going spawn to spawn - what's a 4 second animation to that?
And it's always hilarious to put on auto and bash a boss to death with, as they stagger to their feet and get knocked back over and over and over again.

2.5 second cast with Haymaker damage and 80' range. I love Hurl.
They ALL float down here. When you're down here with us, you'll float too!

Okay, you come up with a whopping 77.5% global recharge.
Okay. Why not take Hasten and a couple LOTGs instead and rebuild for something like...this?

Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.
I have 50'd the character. My build isnt spot on right now because I made a few different choices as I leveled. have 95% of my target build on though. For now I have both Hurl and Laser eyes. I like them both. Laser eyes is fast, the graphics are dealable with for my concept. Hurl is a slightly slower animation, and hits like a truck. Course, I have a purp set in Hurl and one damage SO in Laser eyes.
What is surprising is that Hurl fits pretty comfortably into my button mash attack strategy. and it worked great in the BAF I tried.
I would like to keep both, slotted like they are now, but if I have to drop one I think Laser eyes has to go.
I am still tinkereing with the build. I have a few enhancement slots in Def sets that seem to be there just to squeak me over S/L softcap. If i can find 3-4 and enhance a power with those that gives a modest S/L bump I think i would like that better.
For thematic reasons SS Hurl works much better for me than Physical perfection's Laser Beam eyes. Most of my attacks/playstyle on a SS/Invul Brute involve charging headfirst at the meanest thing I see and swinging until there is no one around me.
When i do need a ranged attack, it would suit me well to have a very hard hitting one. Should I purp Hurl, or re-consider Laser eyes?
Also, seems i have an extra power choice, although the build is tight. Good (well, of whats left) Good options are Hand Clap, Laser Beam Eyes, or Energy Torrent. Also, it will only get the one enhancer slot. Although the build has good recharge and accuracy built into it already.
