Where is the best place to slot Cloud Senses: Chance for Negative Energy Damage?

Any AoE or Cone power, especially if it already does no or low damage. On my Dark Defender, depending on the build, I have one in Fearsome Stare, Tenebrous Tentacles, and Dark Servant.
Also, since four from that set gives 6.25% Recharge, I often slot the set.

I would say "some power in which you want to put the other 5 pieces", as the set is lovely.
For my dark/dark defender, I have it in fearsome stare and dark servant. Thinking about getting a set for tentacles.
In general, it's most useful in powers which affect many targets, aren't toggles/long-duration, and do low base damage.
Basically:
* In a toggle, or a power like caltrops or rain of fire, a proc will be checked only every ten seconds. This makes it fire a lot less than you'd otherwise expect relative to the damage being done.
* Since the chance-to-proc is per-target, the more targets you hit the more procs you get.
* The lower the base damage is, the more relative difference is being done by the damage.
Oddly enough, across all my toons, I only have one /Dark Miasma and not a single Dark Blast. I wouldn't mind slapping it in Fearsome Stare for that toon.
Are there other powers in other sets that could benefit from this proc?
I picked up Cloud Senses: Chance for Negative Energy Damage at WW's and don't know where to slot it. I've been globally emailing it to different toons but can't pull the trigger and place it. I have ATs across the board and don't mind where it goes - just want to be smart about where I put it.
Is there a consensus on the ideal power to slot this proc?
