From seeing it in person, and not personally having one.(Yet)
Id say its a extreemly flexible build, in team, or solo.
It does a hecktic amount of damage with the before mentioned powers you have up there.
Flash Fire + Poison Gas = GOOD!
Fire Imps Containment Damage?No, they dont, in fact, no pet in the controller Primaries does Containment Damage.
I think im going to make one, I like the concept I can have with it.

I might need to test it, but I think that Oil Slick is considered a pseudo-pet, so no containment. See the City of Data entry on the Lit Oil Slick. And, of course, the Fire Imps will run away from the lit Oil Slick.|

But, yes, the Resistance Debuff from Disruption and Acid Arrows stack to add up to about 30%.

I personally can't stand Fire/TA. Of course, I played it back when lighting an Oil Slick made the Fire Imps unable to act, often even when you resummoned them. However, I still mostly hate playing my level 50 Fire/TA because the Fire Imps still flee from the area of a lit fire slick (last time I checked) and since they only do melee damage, that neuters them unless there are some foes outside the slick.
But, if you can live with that, it can be a decent combo.

As stated previously pets and psuedo pets do not get containment.
That means no containment damage from Imps, OSA, or Bonfire.
Hot Feet got "nerfed" some time ago it has a 75% chance for containment damage per tick instead of 100% like most of the other non-pet powers.
The beauty of Fire/TA is that /TA has many minor effects that combine well with Fire/ to give major effects.
Slotted up Smoke and Flash Arrow together give -15% chance to hit that is provided to you, your imps, and all your teammates. Stacked up with the defense from a defense based epic armor like Ice or Earth and you have excellent mitigation numbers without IO set bonuses.
Bonfire, OSA, and Hot Feet all combine to give large amounts of AoE damage. Even more so when used in conjunction with Acid and Disruption Arrows.
Ice Arrow + Char lets you quickly lock down a boss.
Cinders + EMP Arrow lets you lock down an entire spawn including bosses.
Flashfires, Cinders, and EMP arrow with average levels of recharge means that you have an AoE hard control ready every spawn.
