at this point, i wouldn't roll any mastermind that's not /mace.
It depends for arena I would go with poison but for zone I would have to say thermal. For a epic pool, you can't go wrong with mace. Also you can have a much better build for alot cheaper.

Oh...ok...is it because of Power Boost? The -jump/-fly elements of his web powers? Both? Something else?|

-jump/fly.
80% of playing a mastermind is keeping your target from getting away.
at least when playing against a less bad player.
KO Blow on a mm is epic.
Thermal or Poison depends on your style of play. Poison hold is lol now. Powerboosted self heals in thermal are extra nice, you just have to spawn and buff a lot of pets...
PB'd Poison debuffs are hot too. As others have said, I'd probably do Poison for solo or team arena, and Therm for zone.

Build for lots of HP, build for KB protection, get Phase if you can (if not, the Warburg or purchased temp phase can help keep you alive in zones). You don't need any personal attacks unless they're mezzes (to toggle drop someone after you).

Ok, still stubborn and wanting to keep to playing MMs in pvp, mostly because I just like playing them despite their weaknesses. What I'd like to know is what has more potential in pvp? I personally think /thermal...everybody seems to complain about thermal corrs, and it would allow me to heal my pets. /Poison's debuffs seem more wide ranging though, and more readily available.
Also: For my patron set, I'm looking at either Soul or Mu. Mu has higher base dmg for the attacks I'd be using, but it'd be more often resisted as well. Any thoughts?
This is what I came up with for my thermal MM
