I've got a Mercs / Storm at 42 currently, and recommend the combo highly. Storm has a lot of anti-melee powers, as well as general chaos-causing powers, both of which complement the Mercs' long range. Also, Storm has Freezing Rain, Tornado, and Lightning Storm to support the Mercs' overall low-ish damage. Thunder-Clap will work alongside the Spec Ops' stun powers to stun lieutenants and bosses, and you've got a single-target heal (albeit a lousy one!) on top of everything. I'd vote /Storm as one of the most synergistic secondaries for Mercs.
