What's fun for one person isn't always for another. I know some people who love playing tanks and my friend loves to play controllers. I however don't really enjoy either of these ATs. I like defenders and scrappers personally. You'll really need to mess around with different ATs and powersets and find something you really like.
"..."
I was asking what other peoples fun builds were, not whats fun for me. I like playing all types of classes, some more than others though.
Do you have Phantom Army yet? Past Phantom Army, Ill/Rad is pretty much the easiest, safest soloing set there is. It's really quite boring like that.
If you want something a bit more involved, roll a Storm Defender. Storm/Sonic if you want to mow through single targets, Storm/Dark for AOE and some extra control. You shoot [censored] in the face, you get 30% extra total damage past Freezing Rain and you're nigh-untouchable past Hurricane. Plus, you get some of the coolest-looking powers in game with Thunderclap and Lightning Storm. Not to mention that nothing says [censored] power of the gods like knocking enemies around and summoning thunder and lightning.

I currently have an illusion/radiation hero... and shes entertaining, but I cant play her for long periods of time like I can with my dark melee/stalker.
So I was considering remaking my hero... any suggestions? I really Illusion, but having just one attack talent gets kinda boring.

Do you normally play support characters, or are you typically geared more toward offense? There's a huge difference in play style between a stalker and a controller.
It sounds like you're more into offensive play, so I'd suggest playing around with scrapper or blaster combinations. I've had a lot of fun with martial arts/shield and katana/super reflexes.
Goodbye, I guess.

I like hybrids. I like being able to melee and blast things and have a small amount of healing abilities too. Those are the most fun for me.
That storm defender sounds like it could be fun... Ill give that a try.
Oh, and my current hero is 10. So she hasnt gotten anything super powered yet... though the main thing I like about Illusion is being able to mind control two mobs and have them beat each other up. Its very entertaining. Especially if you get two of the mini-boss types. xD
Well it's not a hero, but if you like blasting and some healing a fire/kin corruptor would be a good choice. Or fire/rad. Really almost any corruptor would fit the description.
Heroes : Angrem (50 Stone tank), Exo Inferis (50 Fire blaster), Exo Proteus (50 ill/emp), IceVengance (50 cold defender)
Villains : AtomBomb (50 Rad/Kin corruptor), Aleks (50 SS/Inv brute), StoneLethal (50 EM/Stone brute), Davroz (50 Bots/Dark mastermind)
Most defenders should work as well, though the blast/buff relationship is reversed from a corruptor.
I'm loving my kin/elec defender, especially once he got transference and fulcrum shift. (yeah, 32 I know) but he was alot of fun before then as well.
Not sure if you were talking about healing yourself or others. Many scrapper sets have self heals in them, though not all. Several of the scrapper secondaries have debuff effects that provide some debuff.
TL;DR I'd suggest you look into defenders or scrapers.
Trying out Kin/Elec... its pretty fun at just 1 heh.

My first thought on reading this sentence... Kin/anything defender.
Siberian Spring-50 (Cold/Rad, Rad/Ice, Ice/Rad, Sh/Ice) - KGB SS8
Chernozem-50 (Ice/MM, Emp/Ice, MA/Regen) - KGB SS8
Wila-50 (Dark/Arch) - KGB SS8
Also: Krassivy Mechtayu-50 (Ill/Rad) - KGB SS8; Ms. Hypatia-50 (Dark/Regen)
I have been wanting to do a blaster...
I want to do AR/? Not sure what tho..
Whats a good origin to go with kinetic? Ive been using magic... just cause it went with the theme better. But kinetic is more of a psi power than magic.
The only defender I've enjoyed is my little ice/dark magic user.
So. Much. Fun.
I actually enjoyed the AR/MM blaster I ran awhile ago. The only thing that started to grate my nerves was the constant redraw for AR after I used anything else. Not as bad in the later lvls but early it really bugged me.
There is no such thing as a "Fun" Hero Build. It is a Myth.

That's entirely up to you. For a brief period I had a kin/rad who was tech origin, the idea being that his armor suit allowed him to siphon energy from his targets and project some of it back as radiation.
If kin seems like a psychic ability to you, then you could go with mutation or science origin.

My kins range across the non-tech board. The ability to manipulate space-time could be granted to a person by magical means so that's not off the board, but mutation and science are incredibly easy to explain.
Bea Ware - Kin/Archery - was born with the Kinetic side and trained herself in archery (Mutation)
Book Mouse - Kin/Sonic - is an overgrown lab mouse (Science)
Cryovex - Ice/Kin (corr) - is a product of magic based cloning (Magic)
Protector of Innocents - Fire/Kin (contr) - a imp/fairy type being who's race naturally controls both (Natural)
Siberian Spring-50 (Cold/Rad, Rad/Ice, Ice/Rad, Sh/Ice) - KGB SS8
Chernozem-50 (Ice/MM, Emp/Ice, MA/Regen) - KGB SS8
Wila-50 (Dark/Arch) - KGB SS8

You want to know fun, well, what I had fun with to 50?
Torikkii Yokujin - Trick Arrow/Archery - Very fun to play. Teams enjoy my debuffs. So what if I'm not a 'healz0rs!' I make it so that the enemies are 'defeated' faster
Dynamite Sexy - Energy/Energy Blaster - I went the blapper route to 50. Was fun going to 50.
Sexy Dynamite - Energy Melee/Energy Aura Brute - Fun to play to 50. Had trouble, but was fun.
Right now, my Warshade is level 47. And very fun. My Spines/Fire scrapper is also a blast to play. Finally, my Elec/Elec blaster is also a ton of fun.
ATs to 50 - TA/A Def, Nrg/Nrg Blaster, EM/EA Brute, WS,ELM/ELA Stalker
fun witch dose not always equal useful
Right Now I am rolling Fire/Storm Troller and hells yeah I bring the monkey Thunder!
Bs if you can tolerate the speed of your attacks is great when paired with Regen or will.
Claws/ Doulblades/ anything is fun to play
/ax tanks feel visceral
For that matter Stone meh Ice/ tanking is a blast
Ar/ or Archery Blasting is fun as well thought not the The big orange numbers
One of my Favorite fitys Still is my Fire/em Blaster She is the Bringer of Big Orange
Frost/Dark is good not real solo friendly most defs aren't
Rad/ defs can solo well I made a Rad/archery to fifty hes is still fun
some sets use full but kinda meh in the end Empathy a good set but good team and you are only so use full, Bubbles you will be loved but it gets old fast
Just my 2 inf 14 fiftys in
Being rich and power full means I don't have to say I'm sorry
Virtue:Too many at fifty
bs/wp.
Go forth and KILL EVERYTHING IN THE DAMN ROOM.

I had to make a Seraph alt with BS/WP... couldn't deny the awesome that is Rise To The Challenge! 
My fun hero builds have been:
Serious:
Energy/energy blaster (Flight/fitness/concealment/body armor)
Mind control/empathy (Flight/fitness/concealment/psionic mastery)
Special WTF Concepts that turned out fun:
The "Radless" Defender. Only the heal aura, AM and the rez from the primary (Radiation), blast, gloom and sniper from secondary (Dark Blast), and then all 4 travel pools including taking and using the attacks from each (Flurry, Jump Kick, Air Superiority, Whirlwind).
The Devices/SR scrapper
Made by ignoring all except Storm Kick, Focus Chi, Dragon Tail and Eagles Claw in Primary (Martial Arts), taking all the secondary (SR) and then collecting as many Temp Powers and using them. Very expensive and sometimes time-consuming (to keep running the missions for the refillable Temp Powers). But a lot of fun. Has the Medicine Pool, as well, and the mastery that gives caltrops.
Live arcs: 517377 and 517381
Virtue: Quickshot. Swiftwind. Aliuneidis. Gizmodeus. Dasher. Fiver. Inuit Acer. Daniel Darke. Cerebral Flame. El Halcon.
Intel Core2Duo 2.4 Ghz 4 GB RAM**NVIDIA Geforce 9600 GT set to 1280 x 1024**Windows Vista 32 bit
Anything /regen scrapper. It's a little "eh" at first, but once you get your fitness pool, you can basically go to town for freakin' ever. Hell, I can jump into the middle of a fair-sized yellow or orange spawn, take the alpha, and just mow them down on my katana/regen.
My first Seraph is BS/Regen but I just don't like MoG anymore few seconds of hightened invul didn't strike me as appealing enough. I understand it was for balance because of how dominating Regen could be but I was always used to more longer duration skills like Elude so as a pass time I made a alt of Seraph with will to use Strength of Will plus RTTC plays quite well into his character.
My sonic/fire is a blast(pardon the pun) to play. Io'd for bonouses to damage, psoitional defense and recharge, she's an AOE blapper that drops large groups in melee range.
But she can also eat the floor faster than a drunken viking running across a tilt-a-whirl
