Heres one you might not have thought about. 2 slot theft (heal, proc) 3 slot erad (or 4 for the bonus hps) slot something extra. If one of your erads is the proc, you are doing bonus damage possibly every time it triggers. And you get more n/e def then the weird mix you currently have. 2 theft 4 erad is probably your best bet for a brute for the extra hps. On a scrapper, I run 2 theft 3 erad, and have no problems at all healing to max with 2 mobs around me. The heal is large enough that even just 1 mob is sufficient to keep me going even in the worst of times.

I am looking at the slotting you suggested and while I do get a benefit in terms of HP and N/E defense, the functionality of the heal is greatly reduced. It ends up costing 150% more which isn't so nice on a build that will be tight on endurance as is and the heal value per mob goes from a little less than half my health to less than a third. So I think I will keep the current slotting at least until I get my incarnate powers, then I think I may switch to the slotting you suggested.

Are you discounting the end boost from the proc? Because there is that.

Yeah I wasn't counting the end boost proc mostly because I haven't used it ever so I don't know exactly how useful it will be, though I know it's got the same chance and percentage as the performance shifter proc.

If you get a single hit off, with my slotting, it negates the cost of the power. I have found it makes the power end cost neutral.

So with the ATOs out and hearing some testimony from a couple DA brutes about the +fury proc I decided I'd try to make an updated build with one of the DA auras (I just think they're really neat >.>).
It was actually really easy to do, I just dropped the cone and moved my selection of the damage aura to level 2, the enhancements even transferred. I picked up Cloak of Fear at 28 and took the enhancements out of Shin Breaker and plan on 5-slotting it with the ATOs. Or I guess I could move one slot from Rib Cracker to Shin Breaker and just switch the slotting, but I don't think it's a big deal.
Also, with the addition of Cloak of Fear and the way I have it slotted, I should effectively be at softcap for melee defense while fighting, which is neat. And I'll look cool!
EDIT: Would the ATO set be better placed in Crushing Uppercut?
Anyways, here's the updated build:

This is what I came up with if you want more recharge. The catalyzed version of the brute ATO gives 5% s/l defense so that'll put you over 32.5%. I used more purple set and hamis and cut down on the number of slots you used for your defensive toggles.
I'd put the ATO in a fast recharging ST attack if you wish to use the proc. I was thinking rib cracker since you'll want to spam it as much as possible for the -res. The hold purple set is a place holder for the ATO just for the recharge bonus.
After looking at your build Nemu, I moved some stuff around in my original build and with the catalyzed ATO I should have softcapped S/L without sacrificing any recharge and getting a bit better endurance consumption/recovery. I actually had a spare slot and I just put it in stamina for an extra end mod, but I am totally cool with moving it if theres a better suggestion.
EDIT: After playing him from 1-41 these past few days I decided to make just a couple small adjustments to the final build. I moved a slot from Stamina to Obsidian Shield to place another KB protection IO and get the small recovery bonus (might as well) and I switched out the self rez for Oppressive Gloom, as I have not been dying much at all and I have the vet self rez and tons of charges of the temp self rez. Also Oppressive Gloom will use up .05 end/sec and I slotted it with just the -to hit proc from Absolute Amazement. I don't expect to get a whole lot of use from it, but I figured if I turned it on and got minimal use from it most of the time, that was better than some redundant use every now and then. Anyways, the build is updated with all that.
Please! Looking for feedback! Especially if anyone sees a way to squeeze out more recharge without sacrificing S/L/N/E defense

So I've been wanting to roll a DA brute for a while and StJ fits my loose concept best. And after checking out Dechs stuff with his Claws/DA I couldn't resist any longer, so I decided I'd pop into mids and see what I could churn out in terms of a build. I ended up coming up with a few different builds. I'm posting the one I think I will probably go with here, in hopes that you can look over it and point out any glaring atrocities or small tweaks it could use changed. Also it basically has a free power available, Soul Transfer. I don't know, I've just never really felt like I needed a self rez for regular play, but I couldn't think of anything better. Also I'd like to note that I am still on the fence about my incarnate abilities, specifically my destiny and alpha slots. I am leaning towards Agility Core Alpha with Ageless Core Destiny, but also considering Cardiac Core Alpha with either Barrier Core or Ageless Core Destiny. In the actual build and datachunk I have the Agility Core Alpha active.
But anyways, onto the build stuff.

This build resembles what Dechs came up with for his Claws/Dark (of course he was cool and did it without the alpha). My goal was to to get as close to 32.5% Defense to S/L/N/E as I could while getting closer to permahasten. The main difference between this build and Dechs' is this build sacrifices some HP and a chunk of regen for recharge for about 32.5% more global recharge. I ended up with 33.6% to S/L/Melee and 33% to N/E, 7 seconds off permahasten, and 8.75s recharge on my heal. And it doesn't look to be terribly expensive either, which is nice. Also the one purple set can be switched out with Posi's, I tossed it in there because I happen to have that set waiting in storage.
So yeah, any and all feedback would be appreciated.
