Really quickly and probably fairly incoherently cos I just woke up and have to get out the door soon...
Kinetics depends on your playstyle really, and what set bonuses you're looking to get. Off the top of my head, 3 of the powers don't take sets.
I'd 5-6 slot your heal (it's the biggest in the game along w the dark heal), 2-3 slot siphon speed (1 acc, 1-2 recharge), same with siphon power while you're leveling up. I spec out of it once I hit FS. Speed boost... even if you're not on a team those little gremlins deserve some crack! If you don't plan on teaming I'd put 1 end mod in it. 2-3 if you're going to team. ID - as a controller I'd say it's optional. If you have the slot for it, take it. I'd skip repel, as I would IR. IR is nice if you have flight as it gives you extra control with fly, but it's quite a wait level wise and you'll prob already have a travel power. Transference slotting is up to you. If you want to put a set in there, be my guest - the end mod sets work, but I just opt for speed for transference - 1 acc, 3 recharge, 1 or 2 end mod. FS doesn't take sets, so 1 acc, 3 recharge.
I can't wait for the changes so I can start bringing out the kins again!
I'm on my way to work now, but if you remind me when I get home (doing 2 hours OT) I'll see if I can shoot off a fast build in MIDS for you.
That would be much appreciated, River.

ACtually, I've been relying on Ninja run as my travel power. With Siphon Speed, it'd more than enough.

Thanks River, This should give me some ideas to outfit this troller of mine.
I'm going to avoid the travel power except for hover for both utility and as an excuse to slot the LotG proc. As far as the Epic power set, I was leaning towards Primal Forces Mastery, but it's certainly something that can be experimented with. You've certainly captured the ludicrous damage idea I was going for. 
Theft of Essence is definately something I'll go for for Transfusion.
I'm already using Basilisk's Gaze, with 2 Damage IOs. (Going to swap to the Dam/Mez Hami)
Kinetic Crash is another thing I'm already using too..
Slotting Conductive Aura for healing is not something I've considered. I've been filling it with Efficacy Adaptor thus far.
There's only one thing I'm certain about: It's going to be a fun Incarnate to play once it gets to that stage!

You could swap the knockback set for a damage set easily enough, but I like the knockdown effect more
If you're looking for more control than damage on the holds, I'd go for basilisk w the mag 2 proc - you can potentially get more stuff locked down faster.
Glad you like it, and you're welcome - I wasnt sure if you wanted to take leadership or not, but I thought the extra defense boost for the Gremlins would be good, since I find they're quite squishy.
I've been experimenting myself - got an electric/storm troller and a plant/storm troller. I read some good things about the damage output from a plant/storm so I am curious to see how it performs.
Anyone run either of those combos before?
I've ran with a plant/storm before. They are devastating without the danger of mob displacement, just like you'd imagine.
I rolled up another Elec/Kin troller to join in the beta testing. I suddenly realized something that amuses me greatly that I most certainly be doing for my live version. I'm aiming to purple out the AoE mezzes, (Immob, Hold, Sleep, and Confuse) and the Gremlins but the single target hold and immob is going to get Hami'd. I'm planning on slotting Jolting Chain with a few procs. With the Musculature Radial Paragon, that's going to lead to a lot of damage, and a lot more fun.
