The general concensus on World of Confusion: It sucks. It is only good for being a set mule for the fairly cheap purple confuse set. The radius is too small to be effective, and the confuse pulses are so short that it is worthless.
On the other hand, An Ice/Rad/Psi is probably the only build that might possibly make good use of it. I suggest you plan on slotting up AA for max Confuse and EndRdx. Make sure that you put the purple Contagious Confusion proc in it as soon as you hit 50, because that proc seems to almost double the effectiveness of the power. Make sure Choking Cloud is well slotted for max Hold and max or nearly max EndRdx. (I have 4 Unbreakable Constraint, a common EndRdx and the Lockdown +2 Mag proc in mine.) Then you can slot up WoC for Damage procs. It will only work when you are standing immediately next to foes, but maybe it will work if you can layer enough control and procs.

Agreed. I proc'ed the hell out of it just for giggles, but it's tiny radius keeps those from firing. It's a pretty worthless addition to the Psi epics.

Ty for the responses.
@Deadboy
My Ice/Rad Controller is currently 42 and I've chosen Ice Mastery for my Epic but I'm wondering if anyone has tried running both Arctic Air and World of Confusion?
On paper it seems like the possibility for some great synergy (perhaps with damage procs) although numerically speaking the radius of WoC is much smaller but as a /Rad I'm constantly in and out of melee range already. I'd probably go with something like this:
Arctic Air EndRdx-I:50(A), EndRdx-I:50(7), Mlais-EndRdx/Conf:50(7), Mlais-Dam%:50(9), Slow-I:50(9), Empty(11)
World of Confusion Sciroc-Acc/Dmg/EndRdx:50(A), M'Strk-Acc/Dmg/EndRdx:50(45), Mlais-Acc/EndRdx:50(45), C'phny-Dam%:30(45), Mlais-EndRdx/Conf:50(46), Empty(46)
