A blaster. Preferably one with strong AoE potential.
Tank gathers, blaster kills. It's a time honored pairing. If the tank is decent at agro control the blaster should be pretty safe.

Suggestion on what blaster? Maybe I'll pose this question there actually.
Depends on the Tanker. Almost any AT pair can work, but the most satisfying are Tank Blaster, Tank Defender, or Tank Controller. My personal opinion is a Defender with strong synergies to the type of Tanker would be the most interesting pairing long term. It also gives you more variability/utility on teams.

Fire/MM or Arch/MM blaster for "best blaster" to farm with a tank, I'd say go with a controller through. Fire/ or Plant/ with /Kin or /Cold.
And Ice/SS with high recharge is going to have 2x Rage up most of the time. 160 % damage buff + 100% from enchantments puts you kind of close to the cap as is. (its 300% I think? Maybe 400%) Where with a cold, especially on boss farms you can double stack sleet on tough mobs for some serious -res. Then again? Speed boost is pretty sweet in addition to FS.

I like Fire/Fire for this purpose.
Solid single target damage, awesome AoE.
You're relying on the tank to hold agro, so the Fire/Fire's lack of mitigation is less of a concern.

I suppose it depends on whether you're planning to focus on duoing with your tanker, or have the two of you be a part of a larger team. Archery has a very nice AoE potential with some decent single-target damage abilities, so it's fairly well-rounded, especially with the added AoE from Mental Manipulation. On the other hand, if you're expecting to engage small groups of enemies at a time, you might want to roll with a more of a "blapper" build, such as Electric. On the whole, other than the "play what appeals to you" philosophy, if you want to pick the most effective combination of powers, it pays to match the powersets with the situations you expect to be in.
kinetics controller or defender 
/kin probably pulls out the max of the tank, specialy if they have some aoe abilities.
So a defender, AR or elec might kick out some nice aoe.

I have a tank buddy and would like to make a toon ideal to partner with him. Would a warshade or some controller? I don't know. What do you think?
