For the "Perfect" wrath it would take 2.5 minutes, I bet if I drained any of my D2 characters of mana they would regain it all within 2.5 minutes and thats without trying to stack mana regen. Not to mention mana steal and that one aura from the 'Insight' runeword (can't remember its name atm).
Hm, yea I noticed that. The Imperfect wrath's consumption should 1%, and 2% for Perfect. 100 seconds for the former, and 50 seconds for the latter. Keep in mind, that each wrath has abilities/attacks that use mana also. Say, for example, using the Brute's attack All-out, which requries 10% mana consumed, that would reduce his 50 seconds to 40 seconds right from the start.
Really though, I would love to see that thing in StarCraft OR Diablo. The image merger alteration between the two characters is solid. Imagine a flying Zealot swooping down at you from the sky picking off your allies one by one.
Summary
The Brute is a class multi-faceted with three levels of interaction, called wrath. These levels allow for the player to adapt slightly to any situation within the Brute's limits. The first level is "Mortal", the second is "Imperfect", and the third is "Perfect". With each level comes a different form of the character. Because of the three levels of presentation and the three skill trees, which are not level specific, the Brute allows for much customization unique to the player's style.
The Brute is not to be compared to the Barbarian, since in his Mortal state he is no match to even go toe-to-toe with him. The Brute, however, does work well with the Barbarian to help compliment an attack. The two would work together in a party effectively, because depending on the type of mobs being dealt with the Brute can use Imperfect or Perfect, while the Barbarian maintains the spotlight.
To change from Mortal wrath to another, the Brute consumes 10% of his available mana. When going from Imperfect to Perfect, or vice-versa, the Brute consumes only 5% of his available mana. Changing back to Mortal consumes no mana charges. When in Imperfect or Perfect wrath the Brute decomposes his/her mana at a steady and constant rate. If at any point the mana reaches zero before the player changes back to Mortal, then the Brute will be stunned for 3 seconds then morph back into Mortal, which is why it is essential a good Brute class player keeps a close eye on his mana.
Note: For all the following statistics/data/numbers, they are loose estimates since we do not know the inner workings and balance of the final character system.

Lore
The Brute, a nomadic character, has thrived on learning several techniques from all the tribes he has encountered on his journeys. His/her Mortal state decieves many into thinking less of his/her skills and abilities. Though, the Brute has learned to keep calm and stay focued. After decades of training, wisdom, and absorbed knoweldge handing down generation after generation, the Brute has become a force to be reckoned with.
Their three-faced nature has caused many encounters to end unexpectedly for the opposition. The Brute is cunning and well-played in the art of deception. It is legend that the very first Brute single-handedly stopped an army, a thousand strong, of Diablo's followers from reawakening the demon.
Appearance
The Brute is a tattooed character, with each representing their tribe. It is common ritual to have their whole bodies covered in tattoos to represent their achievements and rights of passage. They often wear plated armor around only the critial and wider areas of their body so as to not hinder their abilities or slow them down. Red and black is the chosen color of many Brutes because they represent the dark side of their abilities that can awaken at any point upon will. They keep their hair short because it is ancient lore that the very first Brute cut his hair short as an act of defiance to his former tribe.
In Imperfect wrath, the Brute is semi-clothed, usually only wearing his lower body garments. And displays a grey pigmented skin and red eyes. Bone marrow can be seen protruding from few select parts of their body.
In Perfect wrath, the Brute is naked, but his body is more dominant with spikes of bone exiting from his skin. Their skin turns an orange shade and their eyes bright green.
Gear
The Brute prefers to utilize bows, knives, and short swords as his weapons of choice. However, in Imperfect and Perfect wraths, the Brute has the added bonus of using spikes of bone marrow as projectiles or weapons.
