I second BA / WP Brute. I'm relatively new to Homecoming myself, and that's what I'm running as my Main character: mostly based on theme. I ran this as a Tank on Live, and didn't take him very far, but as Brute it works well. I'm in my low 30s right now and can handle fairly large mobs.
It's a good mix of defense, resistance, and endurance management. I still faceplant sometimes, but found the combination very satisfying, especially post level-22.
For this character, I included Hasten and Rune of Protection. That has helped keep the pace up.
