If you are ok with running into melee dark and soul drain really opens things up damage wise. If you want to stay at range go power mastery for sure. Power build up will boost your damage as well as your debuffs, and as a rad that's a good thing. Also you can power build up then hit vengeance and make it uberx2 god mode.
I agree with the Dark epic ideology. Soul Drain does wonders for dps.
As far as attack chains, my Archery/Sonic Corruptor used the following for most of his leveling up
Sonic Siphon -> Snap Shot -> Aimed Shot -> Snap Shot -> Blazing Arrow -> Snap Shot -> Aimed Shot -> Snap Shot -> repeat.
However, once I got Explosive Arrow with the +rech proc, I tended to try to toss that in there as much as I could.
AoE wise... umm...
Rain of Arrows -> Explosive Arrow -> Fistful of Arrows -> Insert ST chain with explosive for grouped enemies or fistful if they are in a cone when recharged.
For my Archery/Sonic, I hit Liquefy -> Soul Drain -> Rain of Arrows -> Explosive Arrow -> Fistful of Arrows and 3/4s of the mob would be dead or just waiting for another fistful to be dead. However, I've been highly contemplating changing it so I can get my corruptor to softcapped Smash/Lethal defense. 20% defense to smash/lethal or 25% resist and soul drain. Not exactly an easy thing to figure.
50s: Bla- Arch/Mental Cont- Mind/FF, Earth/Cold, Ill/Therm, Earth/Rad Dominator- Plant/Psi, Elec/Earth Corr- Fire/Storm, Arch/Sonic, Rad/Kin, Beam/Sonic, Psi/Time Stalker- Elec/SR Def- Storm/Dark, Emp/Psi, Dark/Elec, FF/Arch, TA/Ice, TA/Elec, Kin/AR, Cold/DP, Traps/Psi Scrap- Fire/Shield Tanker- Dark/Mace, Ice/Kin Brute- Claws/WP, SS/Energy, BS/Elec

Get a lot of recharge so you have soul drain up as often as possible.|

If you have enough recharge to run:
aimed>fistful>blazing then you should do so
For aoe use whatever one is up with priority given to RoA and Fistful.
