Well, I can't speak for PvP, but in PvE, Steamy Mist is great, and layered with Super Speed will give you full invis.
I can only guess that in PvP illusion is "ok". Damage will be tough to put out, and mezzes don't last long (though fear might).

My main questions are, should I take SI and Steamy Mist or just one? If I do just take one which one should I take?

You can only run one of the two at the same time. Superior Invisibility is better stealth; Steamy Mist provides significant damage resistance though. With mine, I first went with Superspeed for full invisibility since as said it stacks with Steamy Mist. I managed to buy a stealth IO ( which also stacks with Steamy Mist ) and respecced into Fly later.

Considering he's asking about PvP also, isn't Superspeed's stealth component disabled when in a PvP environment? So wouldn't Steamy Mist + Stealth IO be better all around?
Teams are the number one killer of soloists.

I THINK so, but I'm no PvP expert.
Arc #40529 : The Furies of the Earth
I leveled my Ill/Storm up using Steamy Mist + Super Speed . . . but have no interest whatsoever in PvP. I think that SI would be better overall in the PvP area.
LOCAL MAN! The most famous hero of all. There are more newspaper stories about me than anyone else. "Local Man wins Medal of Honor." "Local Man opens Animal Shelter." "Local Man Charged with..." (Um, forget about that one.)

Your pets don't draw too much agro in zone. But with the advent of PvP 2.0 you'll spend a lot of time retoggling Hurricane on.
Stealth is also much preferred over SI since SI cost more end and doesn't provide any more stealth since the non veat/stalker stealth cap is so low.
Take deceive, Blind, and Spectral Wounds + whatever pets you can afford and have a blast. ill/storm is a solid build.
Okay, I just got done leveling my first dom to level 50, and now I feel it's time to get a troller there. I am rolling an Illusions / Storm controller and so far it's a blast. This build seems super end heavy. My main questions are, should I take SI and Steamy Mist or just one? If I do just take one which one should I take? Also I like to PvP quite a bit. This build seems it would do well in solo arena and such, but what about zone? Not so much on the storm end in zone but the Illusions? Would pets draw to much agro? Any tips are welcome be it on power choice or playing strategy. Thanks!
