I went with SJ/EA, I've been busy in RL, and by scrapper isn't anywhere pimped out as I would like.
I tried EA wayback when it first came out with City of Villians, and I wasn't too impressed with it then. I had wanted to try it now that they have did some improvements on the set, and also with a scrapper alt, now that the set has been ported.

I went with SJ since it was a new set, that looked interesting

WP wouldn't be a bad set to pair with SJ, WP is perhaps the most well rounded set out there, but the main reasons why I stayed away from SJ/WP was that it was way too common, and have done WP

As far as how things worked out( currently at 39), EA is much better now than it was, and as someone else mentioned, the stealth aspect works better on scrapper, and the combination has worked out great. w/o pulling my old EA brute out of mothballs, I'd say EA is better for scrappers than for brutes.

SJ, it has beautiful graphics for all of its powers, which is great. In terms of effectivness, I'd describe it the WP of the melee sets, in that it is a set well balanced between ST and AE damage, as well as DPS and Burst Damage. Its not overlly strong in any, but not overlly weak either

And the the two sets, seem to have worked well together.

I'll just through this out there, Ideally you want both, -to hit and defense work great with each other, there is a very good reason why Scorpian Shield is the best epic/Patron toggle for Rads, Darks, and other -to-hit debuffers

IMO my main issue is Flash Arrow, its -to-hit is extremely poor compared to the other Debuff/Control sets like Rad, Dark, or Traps.
Unlike Rad, Time, or Dark it doesn't have a heal, and to be honest it wouldn't make sense here
Unlike Time, Storm, Dark,or Traps it doesn't have a +Def/resist anywhere

Its-Percpetion could be compared to either Dark or Storm

In terms of other debuff/control powers it is compariable to those other sets

I would like to see its -to-hit brought to the same level as Hurricane in Storm( another debuff/control set w/o a heal)

Or another alternative, looking at both Katana and Broadsword for inspiration and to make the set more unique, remove the -to-hit, and it a +ranged defense in sort of the same way Katana's Divine Avalanche( and assumes same or slightly better +def)

Another change I would love to see is the Animations. if you look at the melee sets, some of the animations are slightly different when paired with Shield, some more than others. Basically where I am going here is to change Trick Arrow to Trick Munitions, that is able to use select a gun or rifle as an alternative to the Arrow, it cut down on the annoying redraw when paired with those sets, or fit better with someone's concept + the existing weapon animations should be able to adjusted to fit. Heck I would even love to see a Grenade type animation as well, but that would require more animation work.

On dom's the Immobilizes are much less useful than they are for controllers, using the AE immobilizes is a bit like using taunt on a squishy, combine that with magnitude really isn't an issue with them.
Only possible reasons for picking up immobilize on a dom
-Picking up the AE immobilize to use in conjuction with an AE stun or confuse
-Picking up the ST immbolize to immobilize a PTOD type
-Picking up for set bonuses, since immobilize sets tend to be among the lower cost sets

If needing extra control powers, GI could always be removed for a control power.

What others said,
formerly
PSW had a wicked fast recharge, combined with nuke level damage, but except for Drain Psyche, everything else was really horrible

now
While PSW is still the best PBOA available to Dom's, its now where near what it was, but on the other hand, a lot of damage was put in the rest of the set making the set overall more compariable to the other Assault Sets.

So if your Dom was built around spamming PSW, yes it was a nerf
or if your Dom uses any of the other attacks it is a major upgrade, even TK Thrust is viable attack power( if annoying with its knockback)

Here's just a thought, whatever you may think of TA or weapon sets in general, combining TA with DP, AR, or BR is a clunky proposition, and concept wise even with the other sets, using trick arrows may not fit.

What I am arguing is not any actual changes in the set itself, that is able to chose alternate weapon styles for the set, that is you may be able to to select a Trick Pistol, Trick Rifle, or Trick Beam Rifle animations( or in short Trick Bullet Animations),

while both are related to fairy tales, their very different shows,
Grimm for its part is closer to Supernatural than it is to Once, I liked the premier, but didn't quite wow me, at this point it is under the catagory of being, if I happen to be home, I will watch it, but will not go out of my way to watch

Once, I would compare it more to Tin Man or Alice, or in comes, Fables. At least initially I do plan to watch it as I would True Blood, Doctor Who, or Game of Thrones. It being on network television, does give it the risk suffering the same fate as Heores

My wife and I liked it, and plan to watch it, and lets be honest, its about the closest will see to Fables made into a TV series.

My concern? that it won't turn out like some other series that I liked intially in recent years, that the writters will get lost, and have no idea where to take the story( Heroes was bad in this way, although there have been more recent examples)

the sad part here, is that Poison has been improved, and many of the same problems people have mentioned since it has been ported, was even worse when it was MM only.
Here's what I would like to see,
1) Its heal converted into a aura heal
2) its tier 2 & 3 debuffs cones' increased as to hit more foes, or made it into targeted AE debuffs
3) Poison trap made identical to Traps
4) its tier 9 made into a location based AE with a decent recharge

I'd go fire/dark corrupter,

Like others mentioned, it all depends on what you want, and how much you have room for both in terms of power enhancement slots.
Leadership - its not quite defender values, Assault is always nice, Manuevers is only ok if you have the enhancement slots for it AND your working for defense set bonuses, Tactics is good for perception and as a home for some sets( although with the +acc set bonuses and the Acc you can get with sets, I'm not too concerned for the +to-hit outside pvp)

Fighting- good or bad you do need kicking or boxing to unlock Tough or Weave, but see my comments on Manuavers

On my squishy toons I always like getting acrobatics for the hold protection they would not otherwise have( I really wish they would add unique low mez status protection IO's), and getting combat jumping, jumping, and acro is cheap in terms of enhancement slots

Hasten is nice if your working towards + recharge, SS is much more attractive now that you have more options for vertical movement, plus with it and stealth and/or stealth IO = invis

I'm seeing less and less reason to buy DC.

The oldest question was pretty much stated, but comes down to "Who Am I?" to anyone who has ever taken Philosophy 101.
