AlbionMall opinion about Offtank / Bruiser
I like a similar playstyle to you I think, sort of Nasus/Udyr/Mundo type gameplay(haven't played in 4 years)
I've been toying with a few different builds that offer a lot of what I think you are looking for.
Build 1:
Helmet: Guardian - Emergency Heal
Chest: Mage - Ice Armor
Shoes: Soldier - Shield Sprint
Weapon: Great Hammer
I find this build gives me a lot of damage, while still having a comfortable amount of CC, mobility and tankiness.
Build 2:
Helmet: Assassin - Howl
Chest: Assassin - Invisibility
Shoes: Stalker Shoer - Motivating Pain
Weapon: Greataxe
This build offers me a lot of burst damage, a lot of sustain damage and just enough CC/Mobility to call it a day. Invisibility -> Heavy Smash -> Howl -> Whirlwind is pretty sickening.
Build 3:
Helmet: Assassin - Meditate
Chest: Graveguard - Soul Chain
Shoes: Cleric - Blink
Weapon: Polehammer
This build offers Blink+Stun+Burst as well as Soul Chain and Meditate for more CC/Cooldowns while being super tanky.
I haven't really decided what I'm doing with myself yet. It's a hard life.

Why your spell descriptions need a rework
I am comparing the descriptions of the Force Field (FF) Spell on the Mage Cowl on the left with the Arcane Orb (AO) Spell on the Arcane Staff on the right.

I got the conclusion after the Albion Online test and feedback
Sure, skill can help some, but the bottom line is getting caught out alone is usually a death sentence. Make friends, quit being a loner. Some games dont cater to everyone, and that is just fine.

Albion Feedback: Alliance & Territory Control Mechanics
This is my first test sequence in Albion. I joined Conflict prior to the start of the test and have no regrets as the core is a good group of guys that promotes enjoying the game. Conflict’s mission is to simply cause conflict wherever we can.

The test Albion Online server for the test sever
My suggestion is just be honest with your release times and if it's gonna be a while give a few sneak peaks to keep people interested. It's hard to wait sometimes and the anticipation will keep people playing.
