Judging from your character list, it seems you like your damage. |

Thanks for all the help. You guys are great! |
For ST damage and solo capability, I think a Dark/WP Scrapper or an Energy/Energy Blaster would suit you fine.
Energy/Energy Blasters start off dangerous, then taper off a bit, and then become monsters in the later levels when it comes to damage, if properly IO'd.
A DM/WP Scrapper has a heal, exotic damage, a Fear mez, an immobilize, and loads of protection. It's a scrapper that can solo just about anything. A DM/WP Brute would probably end up with more damage due to Rage, if that's your cup of tea.
As far as really fun solo characters go, I love my Fire/Mental Blaster. It's got ridiculous amounts of AoE damage, plus Drain Psyche and World of Confusion to keep itself alive.
For a really fun Controller, I'd go with Fire/Storm or Plants/Storm. Fire Control has a lot more damage, but Plant Control has really fun powers like Seeds of Confusion and Carrion Creepers.
Too many alts to list.

My recomendation is to take one of your higher lvl toons and play the crap out of it. New toons are fun, I know, but it doesnt take long to rush a toon into its 30's during regular play. it takes alot longer to get a toon in its 30's up to 50.|

Here's my highest of each AT: 44 Spines/Fire Scrapper 35 Grav/Kin Controller 35 Dark/Dark Stalker 27 Shield/War Mace Tanker (LOVING shield charge, BTW) 25 Sonic/Sonic Defender 22 Dark/Thermal Corr 19 Necro/Thermal MM 18 Super Strength/Shield Brute 14 Earth/Energy Dom 13 Ice/Ice Blaster That should show a vague idea of what I like to play the most. Other sets I've messed around with include BS/Regen, DB/WP, Rad/Energy blaster, Rad/Rad def, etc. (yeah, yeah, altoholic here). What do you think I might never have played that I'd fall in love with? One consideration is at least minimal soloing capability, please, even if it means having two different builds after level 20 or so, that's okay, so long as I can go do an arc by myself now and then without falling asleep. Another idea is that I'd like to maybe do one of the AT's that I haven't gotten to high levels before.

That being said, you mentioned you like storm. A bots/storm synergizes really well, and I find end maintenance on a mm is a little more forgiving. Double xp will help you get your big hitters quicker. I've rolled several stormies, but its the first I've had to breach 40, and it is a blast to play.
Your preferences seem all over the place. You could click the link in my signature and go to a page that will generate random ATs / Builds to play. 
That said, I think a Plant/Energy Domiantor would be fun, or if you prefer a bit more AOE, a Plant/Ice dominator.
Fire/Storm is a great Controller, but Plant/Storm is pretty awesome too for soloing and teaming. I've got a Thugs/Storm Mastermind that is awesome, and several Storm Defenders. Storm/Psy is my favorite, but Storm/Sonic has lots of solo ability and Storm/Energy has some crazy fun knockback.

I notice you have no fire/ blaster and no ill/ controller.
The ill/ controller is very soloable after 16. Then it just gets more pets from there.
If you go the fire/ blaster, to be soloable I'd have to say go with /EM though I personally have not been fond of it.
WP/electric tanks are mucho fun. And I have been wanting to make a TA/Archery Def, though I'm not sure it'd be good with my play style.
And Katana/WP ftw.
