Quality Stuff!
I've played an Ice/Pain corruptor up to level 50, and while it was somewhat slow to start, I'm definately having a blast with it now. I also have a level 50 AR/Thermal corr, and much prefer my Ice/Pain
Early on the set feels lackluster, no buffs or debuffs to support the three heals. This is made even worse by fact the Share Pain power prevents you from healing yourself for 15 seconds, which if you are in a situation where you really need to use it you're probably taking damage as well... Anyway, things look a little brighter once you pick up Soothing Aura. Small radius aside, it's quite handy for mitigating DoT's and smaller hits.
Pain Domination really starts to shine at level 28, when you pick up World of Pain. It's a group-wide +res(all), +tohit and +dmg buff rolled into one convenient package. The cooldown is a bit long, but it can be made perma with IO's and hasten relatively easily.
From there it's an easy stroll to level 35 when you pick up Anguishing Cry, -def and -res. While I'd prefer it last longer, or be ranged I found that it's better than the Melt Armor debuff in the thermal set due to the shorter cooldown and larger radius.
... and then there's Painbringer. Nearly 1000% regen (if slotted for healing) and 800% recovery *and* a 50% damage buff make this gem perfect for anyone (invuln brutes being my personal favorite). Only downside is that it has a very long cooldown timer which depending on your build will be difficult to make perma.
Here's the build I'm still gathering IO's for (about 1/3 the way there!):
