i posted a short topic about consealment, it seems to be a very nice pool to get (stealth attack of your pets).
From another topic, i read teh leadership buffs are pretty good, like the damage one gives 15% extra. Downside is when you are in PFF they wont get affected.
Secondairy the medicine one might be usefull to either heal your pets or heal your teammates, together with the second power self-heal.
thats thus far i have been checking (besides the travelpowers ofcourse).

I can recommend getting the leadership pools. The extra damage, accuracy and defence from these will give your pets an extra edge. As I am necro/dark I get group stealth in my secondary. It sure can give people a shock in the PvP zones to have a horde of undead suddenly appear and attack.
Edit:
I forgot to add that if I remember correctly the leadership defence boost stacks with your bubbles and your bots bubbles. Uber tanking bots.

Unfortuantely, Manouvres for a Mastermind is horribly low (IIRC from US Beta) even when three-slotted (less than even Dispersion Bubble). You're best off going for Assault and Tactics.
As for other pool powers, Flight and Teleport are good travel options for the Group* options.
The concealment pool is good - even with */Dark to stack Grant Invis and Stealth for yourself in PvP Zones.
The Medicine Pool is great as well, with Aid Other for your henches (2x Interrupt, 3x Heal, 1x Rchg/End) and Stimulant later on (if you have no other Status Protection for your henches).
Less than optimum choices are Speed (Hasten is not a needed power for MM's, and SS will leave your henches behind lots) and Presence (who wants to draw aggro to the MM and not henchmen?!)
My current pools are Fly and Consealment: Hoover/fly/grant invis. Later on stealth and possible groupfly to hopefully making a stealthed flying attack-sqaudron 
MZ, never thought about the interupt-enh's, i will keep it in mind if i got enough powerpicks left to take that pool too.

I've gone leadership (tactics really help the acc. of the Drones when they're -2 levels from you, and you're fighing 3+ yourself!) and group fly will come later, as will the Invisibility pool.
Anyone know the figures for the leadership pool for Masterminds? I would hope it's the same as defenders.

I believe they are the same as controllers. So 10% base, rather than the 12.5% of defenders. However acc buffs are reasonably easy to test using brawl and some patience.

Ok, nearly getting to the time where I choose pool powers...I'm Bots/FF.
What should I get? Is leadership worth it? I'd like to get TP friend, but not really the rest of the pool much, I'm a bit stuck really...what about concealment? Grant invis and all that?
