You obviously mean Grav/Trick Arrow . . . we only wish we could do a Grav/Traps. Grav/TA looks like an interesting combo, as TA can fill in for some of the lack of AoE Control in the Grav set. I found TA to be very much a "stand back and shoot" set, which is why it worked so well for Illusion/TA -- the Phantom Army distracted for foes while I fired off my arrows. Your Traps buddy can do that somewhat with Acid Mortar drawing some aggro and Caltrops keeping the foes away from you.|

Grav/Cold Another -res extravaganza plus the Cold shields and Arctic Fog help cap defense. And I haven't played a /Cold controller yet. |

Kinetics would be nice to help the traps recharge much faster, and for the heal and damage buff, but it has almost no defensive powers.

Your Traps buddy is giving all the defense needed really, if you 2 play it smart.
I think /kinetics would be a good pairing.
Wormholed mobs to trap, FS, start blasting...
/transfusion for some stop-gap healing...
And as awesome as grav/ is for ST damage upping that with a damage boosting secondary would be my ideal at least.
It actually sounds like a really fun idea.
Using /sonix AoE sleep to let you hit fulcrum shift aggro free to start each battle.
You two could steamroll or set up traps to deal with more difficult content.
Have fun with whatever you choose!!!

When I read the title I automatically thought /Storm but you've already levelled one! hehe 
But I would throw in a vote for Grav/TA. It would be a cool combo with extra damage coming from Oil Slick Arrow/Disruption Arrow/Acid Arrow. The extra ST and AoE hold, slows, sleep etc help fill some of the control holes from Grav.
Grav/TA also allows you to stay completely at range as there are no PBAoE powers to worry about.
Also the ToHit debuff from Flash Arrow will help boost the effectiveness of your friends FFG.

I totally agree with the /Trick Arrow suggestions. The kill zone of doom you guys can make (and port foes into) will be truly sick, and nothing much will be able to escape it thanks to your controls, slows, knockdowns, and his Caltrops. Good times. Plus, as Tired Angel said, Flash Arrow -tohit or whatever stacks with the FFG defense. Having a real good reason to take Flash Arrow is kinda unique.
Using placement of singularity to knock guys into your killzone could be amusing. Anyway. Sounds fun.
