Well I guess that would depend on what sort of pattern you are using. The ones I am using are complex and not what would traditionally even work as a repeating/seamless tile. Those made ugly lines.

What you mean with a brush (*abr file) can be done with B&W or I suppose a pattern that is say stripes, or like that would work as a brush. What I want is a broad mix of color and design. Doesn't seem to translate to a standard brush.

So far I have not been able to find any way to use a pattern as a brush "color". But am finding success with the stamp tool.

I have several saved patterns but in order to avoid lines, or demarcations I have sized the patterns as large as the brush sizes I need (*generally 2500x2500). Making a brush is not the problem, using a pattern of my choice with a brush is.
