The Packmate: No-Set Challenge Savage/WP

Hey!  I'm doing a series of vanilla-enhance-only builds as a challenge.  My Scrapper and Tanker were easy enough, but I've been struggling with the Brute iteration.  They've all come out a little squishy.  I wanted to avoid click powers in the secondary to the largest possible extent, and use a primary that felt "brute-y."  Battle Axe, Ice Melee, and Staff all have better active mitigation than Savage... another version of this was Axe/Invuln, an "executioner" themed build, but Axe is quite slow without global recharge.  And Staff would realistically be a better choice for mitigation due to the +res proc.  But I dove into the wolfman idea and here's what I've got.  It "functionally softcaps" 5/7 types if Darkest Night and Rise to the Challenge aren't resisted, and it also works really well with multiples of similar or identical builds.
