Psi is good. If it's good for your concept, go /dark for tentacle immobilize. Spawn seekers at mob, run in, PGT, jump out, TT, acid mortar, caltrops just because you want to pour saltwater on their wounds.
I wasnt really including dark blast for the fact dark doesnt have that much damage.. But I do like the tentacle immob.. =D

Dark's combination of an immobilize, -ToHit, and self heal mesh quite well with Traps' combination of drops / location-based powers, defense, and the self heal works for the occasional oh crap! moment.

Personally (and it may well be a combo I do GR with) I'd go either Sonic or Ice.
Sonic on a Defender is nice, my Dark/Sonic defender could solo and was excellent on teams focus-firing on a tough enemy alongside any damage doer. The lack of AOE does grate a bit though.
Ice is a nice melange of single target, mez and AOE (some of which uses the blaster versions).
Traps/Dark/Power would be interesting too though, Power Build Up might make Dark Pit worthwhile and FFG + the -ToHit from Dark + Force of Nature would make you pretty godly backed up with the heal from Drain Life.
Damn, now you've confused me. I was pretty sure I was going Traps/Ice but now I wanna try Traps/Dark myself.

As for Sonic, well, it wouldn't suprise me at all if a Trap/Sonic could solo GMs.

I recently started a DB/Traps for the extra damage; was undecided for ages whether to Defender or Corruptor.

I have a traps/Dark. Remember the Acid mortar really helps out on damage, and with -tohit from dark blast, you have another 'hole' in traps that is fairly well covered in -tohit.

HelinCarnate:OMG it is so terrible. I have the option to take 3 more powers but no additional slots. Boo F'ing hoo.
What would go good with it??
I dont wanna do the rifle or DP..
If defenders had fire blast I would go with that..
Note: I am now thinking either rad blast... psi blast or sonic blast.. >_<
