Just coming back to COH, Help Plant/Therm

I actually just finished duoing my Plant/Storm to 50 with my fiancee's Plant/Thermal a few hours ago, so I might have some insights 
Plant/Thermal is... hmm. "Nasty" would be a good adjective, I think. It doesn't have the raw AoE damage output of my Plant/Storm, but it is far better at killing single hard targets, thanks in large part to Melt Armour and Heat Exhaustion- those two debuffs alone made the difference between our SG team pitilessly murdering a Psi/Willpower AV and another team from our SG having a miserable time keeping the thing down, since it kept... on... rezzing. They just couldn't kill it fast enough, despite having significantly more damage than our team.
Plant has wonderful levels of control- Carrion Creepers and Seeds of Confusion are some of the best Controller powers out there, and the Giant Flytrap, while not the sturdiest (or smartest >.<) pet out there, does quite respectable damage, especially when it can be cajoled into closing to melee.
Thermal is a quite nice jack-of-all-trades set- you have some good buffs, some decent heals, some strong debuffs, and a rez that blows up all the enemies :3
Solo, as a Plant/Thermal, you can be quite competent, and your combination of controls, heals, buffs, and debuffs will ensure that you are welcome on just about any team.
If you want to try something different, and are comfortable with Knockback, Storm is a wonderfully fun secondary for Plant, and packs some rather respectable power, especially once you get your final two powers, Tornado and Lightning Storm. Although I wouldn't recommend it if your video card isn't up to spec... my motto is 'if your video card isn't screaming, I'm not doing my job'

Well i want this new character to be fun ofc, i have a earth/storm and thats great lol
But yes im a bit of a allround player, solo, pvp, teaming ;D
So suggestions on that front?
Eh, PvP, no clue. Plant/Thermal is wonderful in teams, and, while not brilliant solo, still quite solid.

well if therm is good in pve with plant, it will defo be good for PVP, so maybe i will just continue my plant/therm
Ok well i have decided since im back i want a new controller, and before i left i made a plant/therm, i was just wondering how viable are these sets together and what are the uses of this toon I.E. what can it do
Also any suggestions to what secondary will be best with plant, i may consider re making.
