Macskull,
Thanks a lot for posting your build. I do have some questions about it. Is that a PvE build? I notice you have both shields and the Spirit Shark Jaws and Coralax pet whihc don't seem very necessary in PvP.
Can you offer any improvements on my build which I am trying to focus on PvP for?
My build has a lot more Status Protection but yours is definitely a lot more Regen heavy. Should I be concentrating more on Regen than Status Protection?
IMHO focus on Recharge, try and get Heat Loss back as soon as possible.
Start a fight with Snow Storm, smack the target with Infrig + Benumb + Heat Loss, and run like hell so your teammates can finish them off before their teammates shred you. /cold's survivability is terrible, but the debuffs hit just about every debuff category and stack crazy amounts of -recharge and -speed.
I'd drop Leadership for Concealment to get Phase Shift. Hibernate's all well and good but it doesn't actually get you out of a bad situation - it locks you into a bad situation. Fine for dueling, but if it's 2v1 you want Phase Shift + Invis to get away, or you'll just get ganked when you come out of the ice block.
Hart,
Thanks, I was wondering about where to focus. I was originally considering Concealment line but couldn't decide which would be more beneficial, Concealment or Leadership. I completely agree with your assessment and have altered the build accordingly.
Here is its, if you (or anyone else) can still see some room for improvement please let me know

I have a dark/cold and I can say from experience that cold is an absolutely fantastic team zone build. The only main difference from our builds are that I went phase instead of leadership so I can go Mace mastery, picking up Focused Acc ( need somewhere to put perception IO) and more importantly, picking up Web Grenade. Without -maxrunspeed, colds are not as good as slowing people so they can't base run, but with web grenade, almost nobody will be able to escape your team. Really, its fantastic. If you don't want to pick it up, all good. Just saying, Web Envelope or Web Coccoon works pretty well with a cold...I have gotten more kills from web than I have my attacks just because it stops runners so well.
Food for thought.

I was ALMOST going to roll Dark/Cold....Trust me, I was SOOtempted. Actuallly, I can't recall now what tipped the balance in favor for me to go Sonic....My n00b is still only level 6 so I might need to look at Dar/Cold again...
****Still ponders why he went Sonic over Dark****
Crap...damn you SonicBang
You are making me think!!!! 
hehe!

It's annoying but that's the playstyle of the AT that runs from me. I would think the person a novice if they had the opportunity in PvP to not take the chance to Phase or Hibernate away in a battle and did not.
I use every "trick" in the book to stay alive in PvP and I would expect my opponent to do as well. It's what makes PvP so challenging and fun. Using EVERY opportunity and power you can to win the fight. It's PvP, it's not dishonorable or chaeting IMO to use every thing at your disposal to win the day...
I have had 6 Heroes make me faceplant at the same time...did I begrudge them their win in /Broadcast...never...I should have brought friends or not been so stupid as to be caught off gaurd by 6 Heroes...was it cheating for them to be 6 vs 1? Nah....it's PvP....

So if someone else gets the upper hand for a moment, you should just curl up with your head between your knees? Invis and Phase are for getting away. You know where the opponent is, and they don't know where you are. |

Sure, that can mean you get away clean to rejoin your team. It can also mean you interrupt the battle and get to choose when and where it resumes, with you as the attacker. It's the CoX equivalent of an Immelmann turn. You get out of sight and then come back from an unexpected direction - with all guns blazing.
Go out with a bang, not a whimper.

No no sonic is a completely valid primary for a cold. I went dark for the tiny self heal, and because I already have a sonic blaster. Sonic has aim which is very useful on a cold and more -resist, not to mention good damage.|

Oh and about the phase AND hiber thing, I would personally not get both seeing as you can only use one every 90 seconds due to NoPhase, so you really only need one. Yes there may have been times when I died in phase from a DoT that I MIGHT have been able to regen if I had hiber, but there are much more times when I would have been ganked when hiber is over. I would follow along the lines of Macskulls build in confidence, no offence but his build looks more solid than yours in the slotting department.

I posted for feedback and help....it would be complete SUCK of me to post and not accept feedback. I just want to make sure the power choices for PvP are solid. Some of his power choices looked PvE IMO and not PvP...I don't want to waste a single power choice that could be better served for PvP. That aside, slotting might be the issue then?
Another possible suggestion as I like pairing any debuff with PB. Also you will want KB protection without gimping your build. I'd recommend not overlooking Siren's Song as the Placate proc breaks enemy targeting, Very useful in PvP. Screech with power boost can offer up to 5 to 8 seconds of stun, it doesn't seem much but it's enough to deliver a significant spike.
With the new mez rules you really don't need the status protection. Carry BFs if you're worried.

Shark Jaws hit real hard, harder than shout, but with more range and a faster cast. Just DoT. It holds too meaning you can stick more procs in it.|

Procs are your friend because enhancements get DR'd, procs don't.
Coralax pet does some things, some things are better than nothing. I'm not a large fan of the ppp pets, but some people seem pretty good at leveraging them. Very big hp bonus for only 3 slots too.
You can stick mag 8 kb protection in each sheild, so they are worthwhile just for that. The buffs they provide aren't useless as most people aim for resistance these days. Hitting through them isn't hard, but the occassional miss is better than otherwise.

Nope, that's a PvP build, but it's focused around team zone support as well as a 1v1 or small-team scenario. Took Spirit Shark Jaws because it does respectable damage in PvP and can bring down fliers, and took the Coralax pet for set bonuses and because there wasn't anything else to take.|

In regards to the most recent build you posted, your slotting is all kinds of weird and I'm not really sure what build goals you're aiming for. In the recharge department anything past 40% or so starts to get DR'd pretty heavily so it's not really worth spending more to get past that. Building for regen doesn't seem terribly important either as you're not a Regen or WP melee build or a /Pain. I doubt you'd be able to stack meaningful regen and should be relying on greens and teammate heals to keep you alive when phase or Hibernate isn't up.
Just looking at that build - you need more hit points and a lot more knockback protection (shoot for 35-40 points). Infrigidate should be slotted for defense debuff not for slow (or otherwise a mix of the two). Snow Storm will do a decent enough job keeping your target slowed, especially since offensive toggles on an opponent will keep that target under essentially permanent travel suppression. Work a damage proc into Shriek, such as the Apocalypse proc or the Gladiator's Javelin proc. Benumb needs more accuracy slotted. The Kismet should be in a power you'll always be running, such as Stealth (or CJ if you do that). In regards to a patron pool you have several options - leadership + Leviathan, or concealment + Soul (for Power Boosted debuffs), or the old standby of concealment + Mace (for Web Envelope and now Focused Accuracy).

Er.. your Numina's is in Frostwork.
That's wierd enough that I'm wondering if I'm missing some canned awesome somewhere, or if you should've just put it in Health instead. Something to do with DR in PVP?

Also pb does almost nothing for cold debuffs. It doesn't effect -rech and the only thing you would need that much -def on is sr which you pretty much can't debuff anyways.
Carry bfs, wow, just wow.
Edit: slotting phase is a waste. Lol siren's song. Regen tissue is a waste. Needs more kb protection. You may post the worst pvp builds of anyone who thinks they are being helpful.
Duel me.
I will work on my sig pic more when I have time.

I'm hoping for a LOT of free time at work tomorrow to incorporate all these great suggestions into one build
It'll be tough with alll the different feedbaack but thanks everyone for the help!!!! If anyone can come up with the build encorporating the best points of ALL these suggestions AND keep what I have in mind for the final game of this toon and WANTS to post a build I know I would be greatly appreciated...my Brute mind is too slow to put the puzzle together

| I apologize if I promote the use of inspiration and don't fiteclub. Could the build use more mez protection? Sure, but i'm taking into consideration this is a team build so a good portion of his mez protection will be coming from teammates. Might as well focus on HP, recovery, KB prot and regen. |
Not having a real source of +perception on a pvp toon is a huge mistake. team build or not. You didn't even sneak the +perc io in. Your really need tactics or fa + the perc io to be of max effectiveness in pvp.
Please feel free to reply and say I attacked you again and point out were I am wrong.
Duel me.
I will work on my sig pic more when I have time.
I posted this build in the PvP section without a single reply. Either the build was so horrible no one wanted to be mean enough to tell me or it was so great there was no room for improvement (HIGHLY UNLIKEY). So, I'm throwing it out to the Corr forums
) but I was shooting for "balance" within the build.
A VG mate wishes to make some Corr's for Rv and other PvP. This is my 1st attempt at a PvP Corruptor and would really appreciate some helpful feedback on this build.
Before anyone suggests any other powersets (like Elec/Therm) please know I really want to stay with these powersets work and see what I can make of them.
As well, I mostly play Brutes/Tanks so some of that mentality might have trickled into this build, if so, please forgive me and help me see the error of my ways. I was trying for a balance between Status Protection, Survivability and Recharge (I know none of these are maxed and that might be a major flaw, if so...help
All your help/advice/guidance is greatly appreciated
