Has anyone tried doing any fellowship quests or 3-man instances solo with their Brawler yet? How'd it go?

Well I'm only level 60 (so things can change) and I haven't done any fellowship or 3-man content, but I've been having some power issues in tough fights, long battles and skirmishes. Doesn't seem like Brawlers have any emergency power regen ability like Champ's Second Wind or Guard's Thrill of Danger. Hopefully someone corrects me if I'm wrong on that, Ilúvatar knows I'd love to be wrong there, but it seems like a pretty big issue for soloing tough fellowship content.

It is a little weird soloing things on a brawler because the class builds a bit differently from other melee DPS. I just managed to solo BG at Lvl 50 with my Brawler in Red line on Treebeard. The build I used is a little weird because I mainly stacked Evasion, Parry, ICMR, and a little ICPR.
The Like a Stinging Nettle procs are your friends with the added bonus that you get hit less or for less. Mettle Management is everything for getting a good amount of DPS in.
I will say that mettle management is harder than Fervor or Focus management and it kind of locks out most of the Brawler damage. Soloing things is possible but it takes a different approach from doing it with a true DPS class.

I will say, I did find it easier to solo in Blue than in Red but it does take a lot longer. I just finished an on-level solo of Carn Dum on Treebeard on my Brawler, I managed to do everything but Mordirith as a Red Brawler. I swapped to Blue for the Mordirith fight after a few attempts and not being able to make it past the wood troll phase in any decent kind of shape.
Postures seem to be something that get toggled on and off as the situation calls for it rather than a stance for like a Hunter or Warden which you normal always have on.

There https://www.youtube.com/user/runkorko you can see some mid lvl brawler gameplay. Far from best but may give you idea what to expect.

Earlier I was testing out my Brawler in T1 Rift on-level and cleared the first two bosses. Ran it in blue.
