There are going to be people coming in here to say to you such valuable things as pick what you find fun, or just do your own thing. Assuming that these people might read this before they post: The Op is asking for power advice, not platitudes.
Now.
For my fire/fire, I've found that the higher level he got, the less he needed any melee. Around about level 32 is when I started to embrace being in close range, but not melee range. From the control set, the powers (thus far) I definitely would not skip are Flashfire, Char, Fire Cages, and Hot Feet. These powers form the core of fire control's control and damage proclivities.
In the secondary, I found I could get by with Flares and Fire Blast as my primary attacks, because I'd always have room to throw controls while I waited for attacks to recharge. Fiery Embrace is useful to whatever /fire style you go for. Combustion used to be a power I really liked, but nowadays it has become highly dubious as to its usefulness - the damage is all DoT, it's long animating, and it doesn't have the same punch it used to.
I would therefore recommend dropping Incinerate and Combustion. You could pick up a travel power with one of those slots, or Hasten, or Consume, if you find endurance is a problem.
thanks for the info Talen!
Drop combat jump and pick up hasten. The added rech will allow you to spam your st hold and cycle your 2 blasts until you can afford to slot your melee's and at that point use them effectively.
I posted this in another thread a week or two ago. It's not my build, but it is a pretty good all-purpose fire/fire build. Combustion may have been weakened, but it *is* another AOE, and so you might as well take it.
