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.

The OP's questions hit the crux of the problem with Albion Online
Don't worry about specializing in anything yet, never use LP for that anyway. That will come eventually as you realize exactly what type of gear and weapon you want to use and craft.
