Second. Way too many options available. Seriously. Though I would love to see a well coordinated Fire/Rad and Fire/Kin Corr team rip things up.
I would Say a Mind/Fire/Fire Dom and a Fire/Kin Corrupter. Could take anything not sure about GM though...
I've had some awesome duos over the history of the game... but I still have a soft spot for the duo of Scrapper and Defender, which is what got me my first level 50 (I was Empathy/Electric and my friend was Broad Sword/Invuln.) Back in the days before they buffed AVs and IOs had not been introduced, we duoed just about every AV there was, and a large number of the GMs as well (memorably, we took down one of Lusca's tentacles by ourselves.)
I doubt we'd be that great today at AVs, since we had essentially no debuffs, but for normal content, it's still quite awesome. I assume swapping the Scrapper for a Brute might be even more so.

Dual Emp/Sonic defenders gets thrown around alot for this sort of thing.
They ALL float down here. When you're down here with us, you'll float too!
@Starflier
I think a Son/Rad Cor and Fire melee/Dark Armor Scrapper would be pretty savage.
Two solid VEATs might be an interesting combination, though not perhaps the uber-tier you're looking for.
Or maybe Night Widow and Rad/Sonic Defender.
A Nightwidow/Crab duo is very effective... FCM and I have done that, and they're just scary together.
We also have a DB/WP Scrap & Shield/Energy Tank pair that are pretty terrifying. Both of those toons are well into "ridiculous build" territory on their own, though. Putting them together just made it even sillier. (And now they have Alpha Rares and a level shift on top of that. o_0)
We've also had good luck with a Sonic defender/DB Brute pair, a Trick Arrow/Archery defender and a Demons/Thermal mastermind and a Spines/Fire scrapper and a melee-defence build DB/WP tank.

That chick what plays the bird-things...
I had the pleasure of getting in a PuG a while back that might as well have been a duo between an SS/Fire Brute and a Plant/Cold Controller. The rest of us were there, and we were not necessary. The carnage was awesome to behold.

I kinda like the idea of Fire/Rad and Fire/Kin corrs to be honest.
While the Emp/Sonic 'fender duo would be very solid survivability, killing any large mob is gonna take a while with all the ST damage,and Howl isn't exactly a great attack power =/
The Duo VEAT idea is cool...Not too sure about the Tank

As mentioned, emp/son, fire/kin-rad, VEATs, and defender/scrapper all do very well.
My #1 vote would go to emp/son of course, as I love mine to death. Though a pair of fire/rad trollers would do very good as well, I know my single fire/rad has multiple builds for either mass AoE carnage, or AV/GM soloing, and I'm sure 2 of them would be amazing. VEATs are also very good when paired together, though the endurance will need some IO coverage.
Though I have a new combo in mind I want to try, a fire/cold controller and a dm/elec scrapper. Get the troller to def cap the scrapper, give them both some good recharge bonuses, and watch the chaos.
