Well, it really depends on how you plan to build/play your PB. To hit the broad strokes first: Are you going to take forms? Bright Nova? White Dwarf? Both? Neither? This has a huge impact on which powers you take, when you take them, and how you slot them.
Radiant Strike and Incandescent Strike are very good. Take both Essence Boost and Restore Essence. Don't take Group Energy Flight. Hasten is popular, as is Fitness if you plan to play at least a reasonable portion of the time in human form (and definately a good pick if you plan to go Human Only).
That's about all for the moment. I'd also strongly suggest you read over the guides, starting with Plasma's guide. Very little has changed for Kheldians in the last few issues aside from the inherent (Cosmic Balance/Dark Sustenance) now working in all forms.

Don't worry about IO sets until around 35-37 in my opinion. I personally don't slot anything but 40s which means you can't use them until 37, but thats just me.|

I would get yourself to 22 and use common 25 IOs to carry you until the late 30s for sets.
You need to get famliar with the character and what kind of character you plan on using before you can really say which sets you want to use.

Thanks for the advice. Going to try some pre-building though with the sugestions. All human form. I was never a fan of shifting.
@Turbo_Starr
This is what I came up with. What are your thoughts.

@Turbo_Starr
Long story short, when PB/WS first came out, I leveled both to 50 then deleted them once new power sets came and gone when we were limited to 12 slots per server. So, after a long time away from them, I am looking to rebuild a PB and wanted to know what powers (are not) worth taking in PvE?
Any guidance would be great. I do have mids, so if you have something in a chunk, I would love to see it. In the mean time, I will continue to browse these forums and eat my peanut butter.
