I am recreating my DM/Electric Brute and fortunately had a copy of it saved via Sentinel. But I doubt the xml save format would look very good here. I will try to get around to transferring it into Pine in the next day or two.

This is the build I had on my DM/Elec Brute back in the day. Although he was fun to lvl up and my first villain / first 50 US side, I found out later on that I almost never felt like playing him because I didn't quite like the synergy and was planning to delete him and re-purpose his enhancements for other chars. I know you don't have Pines so I extracted the build as detailed as possible. Basically, the highlights are softcapped to S/L, almost perma hasten (1.2 seconds downtime), Mu lightning to fill up in the ST attack chain when needed, Spring attack and Ball Lightning to make up for the lack of AoE in DM and decent HP when fully accoladed. Now with the new sets you can do more things such as pump up resistances, absorb, HP... that I leave to you.

Ah, since I was already on it, changed up a few sets. This is how I would probably do the build now with the new sets. Basically same highlights just with different sets:
