Stone/Fire is probably the best combo for stone - no knockback to force unnecessary movement, 2 aoes for aggro grabbing. Beyond that, nothing really sticks out.
Just about everything works with invuln, but nothing stands out in the same way as ice/fire
Anything/Ice really. Ice patch is just a great control tool for a Tank, especially a more squishy type of Tank, like Ice or Fire.
So Stone/Fire because of the lack of knockback.
Hmmm, seems like /fire is one of the best secondaries for synergy.
@Unthing ... Mostly on Union.
How about Stone/Ice for best survivability? Also, since you're slow it might help that the mobs are, too.
Fire/fire, like you said. Still one of the best PvE builds in the game.

I like my Primary and Secondary to have good synergy from a power/game mechanics point of view. I was looking for a good one for Stone primary and nothing seems to stand out. In fact I can't really see any obvious ones for Inv either, my original reason for Golden Golem probably isn't that much of a synergy as it once was given the changes in the Inv set.
For example:
Ice/Fire has probably the best aggro grabbing primary and secondary mix.
Ice/SS has a mix of Rage + the best powers for mitigating it's downtime ( hibernate and Defence debuff resistance ).
Ice/Ice has -recharge.
Fire/Ice has Burn + Ice Patch.
Fire/Fire has the Fiery Embrace Damage Bonus
Can anyone think of others?
