You can skip either of the first two attacks, and if necessary you can skip Titan Sweep. Do NOT drop Follow Through!
Defensive Sweep is garbage for an /Inv. It's Garbage in general but not the point.
Take everything else. Skipping any of the other AoE's is Missing the Point, and you need Crushing Blow for the ST Chain.

I forgot the EXACT global recharge needed, (It's a lot), but the top chain is Rend Armor > Follow Through > Crushing Blow > Arc of Destruction > Follow Through.|

The absolute best you can do. If you hit Build Momentum you simply toss in an extra Crushing Blow and a Whirling Smash to avoid messing up the following chain. This does take around... I think Follow Through needs around 90+% Recharge and then about 170-190% Global Recharge ontop of that. Actual numbers are somewhere on the forums.

Also, Defensive Sweep seems pretty decent to me. ~15% Melee/Smashing isn't gonna hurt in iTrials either surely? (And while levelling up).

you want follow through for damage.
As /invuln you are looking for typed defenses...so 15% smashing doesn't help you much. But say you were building for positional defenses...now 15% melee defense helps out a lot.

Because it's the second-best-DPA attack in the set, and because without it you don't have anything even resembling an ST chain. A fast power with 100% chance of knockdown is nice utility, too.|

Defensive Sweep's def buff isn't ideal for /Inv since it gives mostly positional defense, and it does very poor damage, especially for something you'd have to use every few seconds to keep the buff up. Crushing Blow is important for a pure single-target chain, as Reppu has said, although situations calling for pure single-target are not terribly common (basically just AV fights). Of course, you have to take one of the two, so decide which will be more useful to you.
So I've started playing my TW/Inv Brute, and ended up taking all 7 TW attacks. I pretty much like them all and can't really identify one that is obvious to skip. I was thinking maybe about leaving out Follow Through but that's all I could think of.
Any suggestions on playstyle/attack chains etc. would be great
