As a fellow Brust fan and COH fanatic, I think that Morrolan would be a Broadsword/Dark Armor scrapper, because, somewhere in Yendi right after Vlad is ambushed by Norathar and Cawti, Vlad notices that its odd that "Aliera, who was one of the best sorcerers of the Empire, was dueling with one, and Morrolan, one of the best blades in the Empire, was using sorcery." Aliera would probably be a Energy/Rad blaster, both because of her tinkering with genetics (radiation) and I remember her using an energy bolt against Mellar's two bodyguards, and would have the fly pool. BTW, oppressive gloom is the last dark armor power, and it does exactly what drawing a Great Weapon does; AOE stuns around you. Vlad is interesting, as he is represented in none of the archetypes. However, I could see him as Katana/Super Reflexes scrapper with the shuriken ancillary power :). Also, he'd definitely have perma hasten; as an assassin, he has to be speedy. Another pool I see Morrolan having would be fighting, he'd definitely have tough and weave as a swordsman.
