Mercs/Pain
Necro/Pain
Demons/Thermal
Mercs/Dark
Mercs/Traps
Demons/Storm Summoning
Necro/Storm Summoning
Bots/Thermal
Necro/Poison (good luck finding anyone running this)
Bats/Tarps (not what you think!)
no ninja 
are they that bad :P
Joke aside I am especially tempted to try that necro/poison :P
Ok second joke aside I think I will try demon/thermal, demon/storm and necro/storm.
Just out of curiosity how demon/pain would be i think conceptwise it fits but I am not sure how it will be played. There aren't much demon mm in my server (actually not much mm at all but lets notdelve into there :P )
Necro/dark is thematic and quite powerful.
If you haven't played MMs in a while, necro benefits greatly from the new pet AI.

The moose is absolutely correct. Also! Remember twilight grasp got a boost so that the area of heal is at corruptor/defender size! It's much easier to keep the pets alive. Necro/dark (as well as necro/storm) leverages the tohit debuff. Along the same lines, dark servant is much more melee minded, so he will have a tendency to heal more melee pets and Chill of the Night comes into play much more for the melee zombies.

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

I've been playing a Demon/Pain and it meshes pretty well. It's very similar to /Thermal really except instead of shielding you will be healing more often. World of Pain stacks well with the res already available from your pets.

I rest my case.
Try Mercs/Dark. Its rarely seen and actually pretty solid.
Dark handles survivability, and -ToHit's hard enough that you don't need a high defense on your pets to keep them alive. You and the Dark Servant heal them up when they do get it... and they have solid enough resists that they can survive a decent hit. With the +RES enchancement they'll get about 36% S/L resistance, which is respectable enough for pets.
Achilles Heel is wicked effective on Mercs of all kinds, also Touch of Lady grey makes a lot of sense as well. Avoid sets with Mercs, they are frankenslotters. Mercs also dish out a -DEF on all their machinegun-like attacks, which becomes handy when you fight enemies like Sky Raiders who use force field generators, and also some Praetorian enemies have some kind of DEF ability.
Go for Musculature and Reactive incarnate stuff, keep the damage up and the enemy resistances down since your S/L damage is generally strongly resisted. You'll have a cool, effective and uncommonly seen MM-type.

( coff, coff) NECRO/poison over BOTS/poison? It might work for you, but to me, the bots are far less squishy and the protector bots get the heal pet power in the first upgrade.

I made a demon/thermal at the moment damn RL doesn't let me get on much to make and try others yet. With shields it feels like i am playing FF again but its better this time with early healing powers and i need to get used to my pets are not melee anymore otherwise I enjoyed it so far. I will try to make and some of the other suggestions in here.
Flaming zombies are formidable.

After a long (last was when SoA came out just so i can get SoA) time I decided to try my hands on villian AT's again. MM was my favorite probably still favorite but being that said I didn't tried much of it. My only 50 in villian is a ninja/FF (don't throw stones along with swords it hurts)
So I want to know what would be an interesting combination and don't say bots/trap bots/FF or any thugs/ i don't like playing things that I see everyday around.
