Theroetically, i dunno. Illu is all about distraction and redirection, with few actual attacks and mezzes. It compromises damage for safety and utility.
Kin can increase your damage and help you keep Phantom Army perma, so it wouldn't be horrible. Just make sure you grab attacks from your APP, because your pets probably won't be doing everything for you.
Also note that SB and siphon power and fulcrum shift (your main party/pet buffs) won't affect Phantom Army, so its not like you'll have a small horde of damage-capped pets.

I've got an Ill/Kin/Stone that can farm at about the same rate as a Fire/Rad - as a very rough estimate based on playing with and alongside FRads.
It's a nice combination of survivabilty and damage but wont get close to a Fire/Kin or Plant/Kin. The main issue is setting up containment - the damage is done via FS, Fissure and high recharge. Illusion adds to the survivabilty through PA and Spectral Terror.
Ill/Kin is a nice well rounded PVE controller that IMO is vastly under estimated by most but if your after a dedicated farmer I'd look at Fire/Kin or if you want something a bit different Plant/Kin.
L50s: Tanks: Cryofission - Ice/EM - Dr Celsius - Fire/Ice - Saint George - SD/SS | Controllers: Psichosis - Ill/Kin - Major Chaos - Ill/Stm | Scrappers - Neutron Crusader - DM/SR
Currently Levelling: Angelic Blade - BS/WP Scrapper | Seeds of Destruction - Plant/Kin Controller
Basically, no. Illusion is focused on distraction, and has limited AoE damage. It is great against tough single targets, though. You have Blind and Spectral Wounds, single target attacks. Then Phantom Army provides three single target attacks, and Phantasm has a single target blast and a fairly narrow cone. Of course, you have limited control over how the pets use their attacks. As stated above, Phantom Army do not get buffed by your kinetic powers. Add to this the synergy problems that a */Kin has with Phantasm's knockback, and it is not at all ideal.
Can you farm with it? Sure, but it will take a while. Fire and Plant are the two sets with the most AoE damage.
