Brute Questions for a non farm SS/FA/Energy Mastery

Returning player looking for help to build a NON FARMING SS/FA/EM.
My SS/FA Brute is 26, and I am having end issues.
I also just did the Sister Psyche TF last night and felt like I was more squishy than the Blasters and PBs! NOT GOOD. The Super Stunners were making mincemeat out of me. I'm pretty sure a respec will solve some of my issues, but I also want to make sure I'm on the right track, It could be that I was just playing Stupid last night and I'm allowing it to color my opinion of my Char.
I have some questions.
What are the real in game differences between Brutes and Tanks for survivability and damage?
What about damage between a Tank and a Brute with only half fury does the Brute still come out ahead?
How much survivability do I lose by going Brute vs Tank, how much damage do I gain?
These are kind of fuzzy logic questions I know, but they do have a point, honest.
Here is where they start making some sense....
How much extra survivability can build into Brute if I build him right? Or is it more of a Scrapper thing, the best defense is a good offense?

You need a kb prot IO for sure, so get that first.

You'll beat a tanks dmg at half fury for sure.

for /fa, I don't think the survivability is that much different from tanks and broots. FA is a dmg set, broots can much better levearge all it's dmg abilities, esp stuff like Blazing Aura.

You can def soft cap your FA broot to s/l if you choose to go that route. And you have a good heal as well. So pretty good surv until you ran into exotic types like toxic or psy then you need to be careful or kill them before they kill you.

HANG IN THERE!

Two of /fires best powers are burn and FE. Neither of which u have yet. Once u get these, and get them slotted, you will be a wrecking ball of pure, unstoppable destruction. Teammates will stand back in awe as you not only tank the map but also kill 90% of everything before anyone even has a chance to attack.

Before bruising, with roughly 7% fury or so you will surpass the tanks dmg.
