demons/traps combination while being very good separately is somewhat difficult to use. demons tend to wander around, while traps require positional fight. i don't recommend it. same for ninja/traps.
if you want to do demons - make it demon/thermal.
ninja cannot survive very good, therefore either strong buff like forcefield or strong debuff like dark are recommended.
Anything /dark is a boat load of fun. It is a secondary that pairs well with everything. It also has a million tricks and supports many styles of play.

Do the new sets. Demon/Pain. It also rocks you don't have to heal too much.
I would say Traps or Dark.
Pet wise I would say Demon as its really new for you.
For Demons I spam all stay to keep them near me which keeps them alive. I run a Demon Traps.
Demons Dark clearly mix well as was mentioned Demons Thermal. I have a Demons pain which are okay but do not survive well. I live but the demons die a lot even with I think almost 500% regen numbers. My personal regen is at about 700 %.

I went Demons/Thermal for my first DS alt. You stack heals with a pet that heals (even the MM!). Your resistance shield stacks with an AoE shield of resistance from a pet. Your pets do scads of varieties of damage. At first you think your big old demon is just a controller, but he gets out that big friggin ice sword and proves he is a dominator.
As a caveat, you may be interested in the Demon Summoning/Sonic option coming soonTM.

HelinCarnate:OMG it is so terrible. I have the option to take 3 more powers but no additional slots. Boo F'ing hoo.
So what did you pick?
<======extra curious.

Bit late here, but my one complaint about demons stems from Abysal reconstruction. I'd much rather the ember demon wait until SOMEONE needed the healing, instead of just using it everycooldown. Other then that nitpick its a great set.

Decided I'll roll with a demon/sonic when that comes out. In the mean time I made a ninjas/therm to tide me over. Its pretty good fun so far at level 24 or so, but I can tell if I crank the diff up too much they'll fold very fast.|

Still, theres something to be said for a bunch of ninjas running around in flames.
Here you come with a stupid name like Fixer - brutalkillz_
The new one I'm working up is a Thug/Traps
If you haven't tried thugs, I recommend it. Thugs are ridiculous good, but the set is a slow starter.
And traps, well we all know traps is great. /Traps has been worshiped here basically since day one
My new favourite is DS/time. Because of the stacked debuffs and the extra assistance from the ember demon.
Depending on the final changes to /poison for i21/Freedom, a demon/poison might be nastier than a toxic waste dump. Have already rolled one, but waiting for the balloon to go up before I really get into playing him.
Where to find me after the end:
The Secret World - Arcadia - Shinzo
Rift - Faeblight - Bloodspeaker
LotRO - Gladden - Aranelion
STO - Holodeck - @Captain_Thiraas
Obviously, I don't care about NCSoft's forum rules, now.

I am also really looking forward to the poison revamp in I21. I Tried out poison not knowing it wasn't considered very good and fell in love with the -Resistance debuff it has(because of its potency and short cooldown). I tried out storms -Resistance debuff(freezing rain) and it just didn't feel the same.

Hey all,
Havent played in ages, since before Going Rogue came out. Looking at starting a new MM to run through the new content and generally tool around with. I have no idea whats good and whats not theses days.
I've already got a bots/storm and necro/ta, both of which are good times but I'd rather not repeat those sets. Beyond that I'll give anything a shot, though I'm leaning towards ninjas or demons just because. Conceptually disparate combos like demon/traps or ninja/thermal are a plus.
Sell it to me, folks
