Fire/Rad is the one build that can really maximize Choking Cloud. You can use Flashfire+Fire Cages from range, then run in with both Hot Feet and Choking Cloud running, and your Imps trailing behind. Then you stand there while CC holds the foes and Hot Feet and the Imps kill everything. Use Char on anything that moves.
One problem you will have is that Choking Cloud really needs 6 slots, and you can't put that many slots into it at level 49. I would suggest you plan on picking it up in a Respec.
Personally, I like Bonfire and have it on all my Fire Controllers. It works great as a barrier and can add some extra damage on AVs and other targets immune to knockback.
Take a look for other recent threads on Fire/Rads -- there are a lot of them as Fire/Rads have suddenly become very popular. You should try to learn how the Inventions system works, as the IOs have added a LOT to the game, especially for higher level characters. Many of us enjoy continuing to work on our level 50's trying to get all the bits needed to get a really great build.
Oh, and welcome back.
LOCAL MAN! The most famous hero of all. There are more newspaper stories about me than anyone else. "Local Man wins Medal of Honor." "Local Man opens Animal Shelter." "Local Man Charged with..." (Um, forget about that one.)

Hi, I've got a level 49 fire/rad that I used to play quite a bit. I haven't played in 4 years, so obviously I don't have anything except SOs and one Hami. I just hit level 49 tonight and not sure what to take as my last power - options are Bonfire, choking cloud, power blast, or energy torrent. Mostly used for partying. Not even any clue about farming, since I haven't played in quite a while.
Here's the build
