Well unless you plan on porting through a mission and bringing a friend along when you get to the end you could drop the teleport in favor of super speed and that saves a power. If I had to drop one power if you build it would be Mutation but thats also selfish. I recently made a new build for mine that incorporates Mutation. If you dont care about having an AoE attack then you could drop your Tornado. Me, I like to do more damage myself.
As for what I wouldnt drop here is the list:
Decieve : You can used this with Superior Invisibility and the still wont see you!
Spectral Wounds: If you want an awesome ST attack chain you really want to keep this and an ST attack from the epic.
Spectral Terror: This guy just kicks butt. When you PA drops you can set him early to put them in fear, when your AoE Hold wears off you can do the same thing.
Flash: Makes a decent tool, not as great as other controller, but you can still use it to help stack holds. Not to mention you can sneak into a group and use it when needed.
Debatable Powers:
Mind Over Body: Im more of a fan of Defense then resist on a controller but thats just me. However, with this you will take less damage when they do hit through your toggles, PA, Spectral, and AoE Holds.
Thats just my 2 cents

Look a few posts down for a draft Ill/Rad guide.

I would really really like to have one more power, but since I can't seem to get that last experience point to level 51, I need to make a decision. The powers in question are: Deceive, Spectral Terror, Spectral Wounds, Mind Over Body, Mutation, Flash, and Psionic Tornado.
Deceive: Lets me slot cheap confuse purple sets, add more control, and do things that controllers without confuse simply can't do (whittle down a group-sized spawn solo, recruit Rikti Guardians and Cimeroran Surgeons).
Spectral Terror: Slot cheap fear sets, looks cool, excellent always up control.
Spectral Wounds: Gives me a full ST attack chain, and would be my ONLY damage power (not counting PA) when I exemp to 30's or lower.
Mind Over Body: Shields are nice, but I don't get hit much anyway so maybe this one...? I've never not taken an epic shield on a squishy before though.
Mutation: Awakens and other people with rez powers...? But Mutation's also got a nice buff with it, and I have Recall Friend which synergizes somewhat. And some people just sit there when they die out of laziness, so if I rez them they won't have an excuse. Also I know people say you shouldn't be dying in the first place, but if that's the case then my control powers are redundant too.
Flash: Stacks with EMP to hold bosses, also with the crazy amount of recharge I have it comes up every 63 seconds and holds for 27 seconds, which ain't shabby. Or I could alternate Flash and EMP for a hold every spawn, but maybe since I have soft controls, the hard controls are redundant...?
Psionic Tornado: No easy AoE containment to go with it, but looks cool, is my only AoE damage attack, and the knockup is good mitigation.
I am torn between these excellent powers! But, like a terrible reality show, one of them has to go! Here is my build, for reference. The slotting is not set in stone.
