Well, I don't have a kin/psy but I can tell you about my experience with kin/?.
As for the travel powers, I find that having siphon speed, sprint, and ninja run are all I need. In fact, I have been known to skoot around with siphon speed and hover. The inertial reduction was nice for awhile but eventually I spec'd out of it.
As for picking your power from kin two are easily skippable. Inertial Reduction and Repel. Sure both have there uses but are very limited in them. The other power that is up for debate by some is Siphon Power. Some don't see a use for it after they Fulcrum Shift but there is. On Av's who have less of a spawn around them or tough targets its nice to be able to at least reduce there damage output even if your not benefiting from the damage bonus. Not to mention there is usually one blaster on the team and they always love more damage. I will say this, having it makes your lower level soloing days much nicer.
Last thing I want to say is I have recently starting fitting more DEF into my build and it helps so much. Kins tend to be an aggro magnet... at least for me... I swear the games out to get me XD. So when you finally get to that magical number 50 you may want to look at adding IO's to your characters diet of awesomeness.
One last note, while I like snipes, I think it is something that can wait to a higher level. Make it so that you have a more sustainable attack chain when you can first. I would have Transfusion, Mental Blast, Subdue, Siphon Power, Siphon Speed, and at that point you could go for a PP attack like Air Superiority or Increase Density if you team more. After that hit up Psychic Scream and then Speed Boost. Psionic Lance is good in some uses but you can easily put it off till post 20.
Anyhow, good luck with your Kin/Psy.

You have a few choices. You can gut it out and take the powers you want later. You can re-roll your character, or you can hang on until level 10 and start an alternate build with the powers you really want at level 10. Good luck|

By the way, Kin/psy has historically been the path which less folks choose, but it has shown itself to be quite viable.

HelinCarnate:OMG it is so terrible. I have the option to take 3 more powers but no additional slots. Boo F'ing hoo.

Assuming from your comment that you're level 5 or so, you haven't made any big mistakes. Kinetics is a very forgiving primary when it comes to builds, since you can skip both a travel power and the Fitness pool. Looking at kin/psi and based on my experience with a kin/ice, I'd pick powers to 20 in the following order:|

1) Transfusion
1) Mental Blast
2) Subdue
4) Psionic Lance
6) Siphon Speed (it's your travel power until level 18)
8) Siphon Power
10) Psychic Scream
12) Speed Boost
14) Increase Density or a pool power of your choice
16) Telekinetic Blast or a pool power of your choice
18) Inertial Reduction (your new travel power)
20) Will Domination or a pool power of your choice
Good pool powers for a Kinetics are things like Hasten, Recall Friend, and the Leadership pool.

I never take snipes on a Kin. Ever. I don't have time for that kind of animation. I would put Siphon Power in it's place and then do something like Assault at 8.

Thanks for the advice all. I took the fitness pool and already have stamina lol. Its a learning experience I suppose. Level 21 atm and so far enjoying the toon. 8 man teams are amazing exp. 
You can always do the alternate build available at level 10 without burning freespecs/respecs.

Anyone know of a good guide I can look at. I looked through the guides sticky and didnt see anything available for this particular setup.
Is there a high end build anyone knows about. Im not worried about cost in the least. I also wanted to get around using my kin abilites instead spending powers on travel. Any help is greatly appreciated.
