Cold - Benumb.
Dark Miasma - Twilight Grasp, Howling Twilight, Not positive, but pretty sure fluffy tosses some out as well.
Kinetics - Transfusion.
Radiation - Lingering Radiation, EM Pulse.
Traps - Poison Trap.
Trick Arrow - EMP Arrow.
Controlers:
Thermal Rad - Heat Exhaustion.
Cold - Benumb.
Kinetics - Transfusion.
Radiation - Lingering Radiation, EM Pulse.
Trick Arrow - EMP Arrow.
Masterminds:
Poison - Envenom.
Dark Miasma - Twilight Grasp, Howling Twilight, Not positive, but pretty sure fluffy tosses some out as well.
Traps - Poison Trap.
Thermal Rad - Heat Exhaustion.

As for best way to beat a regen foe in PVE... Pick a set that does the most damage with the most -regen (looks like Dark, Rad can stack it on a bit) and surviveability (again, Dark, Rad look good). As for pee vee pee... No freaking clue, best to look at how to kill a regen scrapper on the pvp boards.
Eh, to kill a regin in pvP your best best is lots of -rech.
Ice/Rad (or /Cold) Defender or Corruptor

-Regen, not -recovery. Of course I could be wrong, and it does do -regen. If thats the case, Doh!

Just to add:
The Assault Bot's vanilla blast has a 30% chance of inflicting -500% regen for 30 secs irrc.
Poison Dart for Widows and Jounin have a minor -regen component (-25% for Widows I know of). Probably not enough for what you need, but just something to note.

Cold dom eats regens for breakfast lunch and dinner. It is ridiculous how quickly they drop when facing a cold dom.

Yeah, -Regen and -Recharge is your best combo.

EMP Arrow (And EM Pulse from Radiation Emission) does apply -regen. In fact, it's enough -regen to shut down nearly any target (higher-than-you AVs and GMs may not, depending on the situation, and I've have to actually think to give a definitive answer on that). Unfortunately, neither EMP is possible to make perma, and they also shut down your own recovery unless you've got an Empath buffing you with a slotted Adrenaline Boost.|

WRT the OP:
/Regen often relies more on healing powers than on actual regen. -recharge is extremely effective.

Both Plasma Blast, and Dual Plasma Blast from Equip Robots do -regen.

Dominators and Blasters: Drain Psyche does quite a bit of -regen too.
Can't believe no one mentioned it with all the MM blasters and Psi Assault doms running around.

In PvP, -recharge is much more important to fighting a Regen player. Regens are tough because of their click heals, not regeneration.

The City of Heroes Community is a special one and I will always look fondly on my times arguing, discussing and playing with you all. Thanks and thanks to the developers for a special experience.
