I have to admit to being a little disappointed with the Patron Powers (or PP as I like to call them, after a post I saw in the US. Yes, I'll be playing with Mako's PP on test for a while ...)
This is purely in comparison with some of the Hero APPs, although typically only one or two (force of nature for blasters, the controller mez protection, the psychic defender one, focussed accuracy). It is almost inevitable that SOME of the combinations I was hoping for are not possible (as a /kin with a buffable nuke and a group sleep/hold would be horrifically overpowered - of course, you CAN get them on the hero side...)
As a kin I can see the point of
Ghost Widow
- mainly for Soul Drain. I know a couple of people who have arrived at the same conclusion as you.
Black Scorpion
- AoE immob with -fly and -jump. Useful for PvP I would imagine.
Mako
Nothing you can't get elsewhere, however, if you have a thing for sharks ... no puke attack sadly
Scirocco
With transference you don't NEED power sink. However, if you have both you might be able to build a sapper, plus taking both would presumably enable you to skip stamina and protect you from the odd misses of either power. The lack of an AoE immob isn't too great though. Resists energy though, which would be useful against all those /NRG blappers.
I think a fair amount also depends upon what exact abilities each pet has - if the Coralax Blue Hybrid buffs you while the rest are straight damage dealers, I expect it to be more popular (for example).
I'm also curious as to what would happen if you turned rogue - would you have access to the Defender or Blaster APPs (two 'closest' heroic ATs)? either one has a particular pool I could cheerfully kill for (aforementioned psychic/forcefield powersets) - although I'd have to do the heroic content again 
I can actually see me switching to lowbie alts in COX until more information is available regardless...

Group sleep - don't they just wake and pummel you with an AOE? At least the group immob keeps them in the damage zone 
or maybe I'm missing something

IMHO the single target holds (stacked where possible) would be a better bet for PvP.
But you're right, the holy grail of an AOE hold plus buffable AoE would be rather tasty
I'm going for ghost widow's powers because of the following reasons:
1) It goes with the theme of my dark stalker
2) Soul Storm looks so cool
3) Since I'm a corruptor I get the mistress at the end. 
You are missing something:
1. Put group to sleep
2. Walk into group
3. Notice nobody is firing at you, have a smoke.
4. Nova :P

Fixed that up for you - NOW do you see why I wanted it?

-Fly/-Jump powers are far more deadly in Zonal/Arena PvP than ST Holds.

Not to mention that they ALL get a ST hold ... I was just highlighting the differences and outlining why I might want one set over another. -Fly -Jump is particularly annoying though, which is why I pointed it out.

It doesnt break sleep? Hey I didnt know that! (then again, I've only had the power for a few hours now) Sweeeet! :P
EDIT:- just did a mish with a Mu pet in it and realised something.
Add "AI likely to get pet in melee range for Trans/Trans/Fulcrum" as a BIG deciding factor as to which one to pick.

Ahoy guys. PPPs will come in no time. Wich type of corruptor are you and wich PPP will you pick?

CORRUPTOR
Web Envelope: The Executioners Mace can lob a modified Web Grenade. Upon impact, the Web Grenade expels a strong, tenuous, and very sticky substance that can Immobilize most targets in a wide area.
