If you're getting stone cages, might as well 6-slot it, some end and damage. Also, put 3 rechargers in consume, will help with endurance management.
I never had any problems with endurance, since stamine, so it was more like a longbattle:''Oh $%!@#'' power. And i will think about stone cages 6 slotting.

Hey...
Personal Forcefield, I don't have much experience with FF but 3 recharges seems to go overboard?

Never ever slot your AoE immobilise for damage!! The damage is neglible at best. You will be using it to combine with stalagmites. It basically just needs 2 accuracies. Throw in a end reducer if you have it.
MaXimillion may be thinking of Stone Prison which can be handy for damage at lowerlvls and can be used for AVs in the later lvls.
Quicksand, pretty sure you will more or less hit the slowcap with 2 slows in this one so drop the 3rd slot or use it for recharge or end red.
Combat Jumping, 3rd slot isnt really needed.
Super Jump, 1 jump is fine in here.
Earthquake, the tohit debuff isn't fantastic so if you need some slots consider taking some from here.
Swift, Health, consider taking hurdle instead? slot with 2 or 3 jumps....gives you some nice maneuverability.
Volcanic Gasses, 3 recharges is really all it needs. Not too sure about what effect the holddurations does in this since it's a pulsing hold.
Super Speed, swap 1 run speed for end red....leave it on all the time 
Animate Stone, Pets have a very high base accuracy so 3 accuracies isn't needed, go with 1 or 2 depending on how many slots you have.
Teleport Foe, hmm, not a very good PvE power but has its uses in PvP. I would suggest taking either Force Bolt as a nice defensive power or Stone Prison. With a Stone Prison -> Volcanic Gasses -> Fossilize chain you can hold most AVs within 5 seconds.
Force Bubble, think 2 end reds should do it.
Fireball, you want 2 accuracies in this one.
Fireshield, get 1 or 2 end reducers in this.
Consume and Fire Blast, maybe reverse the order you took these in? and put 2 accuracies in Fire Blast and mix accuracy with recharge in consume...you want this for endurance not for damage.
Have fun

Adding the hold duration makes the patch lie there longer and keep pulsing it's juicy hold (Best damn AoE hold (slap a quicksand on it) in the game if you ask me)
Good thinking about the end redux in ss. I have ss running standard (almost) all the time on toons which are equipped with it and an endredux is good use to drop a surplus of slots later on. (btw really odd that sprint costs more end then ss...)
P.S. I used one of my slots at 50 to add dam to firecages, adds a lil more dam whith containment and fulcrum+siphon power. Just didn't have a better place to put that slot... 
After reading that some teames can take up to 30sec - 1 min to clear a group. I would agree put some duration in there.
But if you team with ok players dont, there is no need.

Hold durations doesn't affect the duration of the power itself but the length of the hold which is a bit wasted in this power...but if you have the slots go for it...and yes...its a great hold, but EM Pulse from /rad is still the best AoE hold in the game

Being pulse-based, VG still gets my vote for best AoE hold, but YMMV.

looks good, and most points have already been covered before me.. however as said, I wouldnt put 3 rec rdx in PFF. Its a situational power at best and it always is recharged when you need it. Maybe if you pvp alot more recharges would be good, but in PvE i dont see the use.

You're right indeed Arch. I did some actual testing with stopwatch and the holds in VG don't affect the time of it to be active, but it appears to affect the time the pulses hold the mobs. (stupidly enough, more logical and sensible would be for hold duration to prolong the power active all in all)
Still its the best AoE hold in the game. EM pulse comes in second, but VG being a pulse power AND being location based and having a shorter recharge just makes it outshine all others

Well situational or not, i think it depends on ur primary tho. I also 6 slotted pff (3 defbuf 3 recred), so that i could turn it off, attack/hold and turn in on again quickly not to be wasted by a massive attack. As i see, ur /ff is illu primary, which is great to keep aggro at bay, but some other primaries might find handy 3 recred imo.
well actually i have less trouble maintainin aggro with my earth than with my ill. Personally i think constant swappin back n forth with PFF is even more viable for a illu troller cause there is less powerspamming compared to other troller sets. But like i said, thats my opinion, I just didnt find recrdx viable in PFF. (Defbuffs though, sure why not )

Im already lvl 38 so don't pay attention to the travel power getting lvl thing. And for superjump slotting and such, I just didn't know where else to put the slots.
