Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.
It really depends on your character, your build, what you need and how many slots you can give it.
There are certainly a whole lot of good things that can be put in it.
I do agree that as much recharge as you can shove in it is good as well.

Does it allow slotting of Expedient Reinforcement? Mid's doesn't let me slot them in it.

Yeah same here. I never had it but an ingame friend said it was a clone of Tornado from Storm, which does accept this set (but the damage and rech numbers are different on Mid's).|

Anyway he told me he slots for damage because he has an immob so it does lots of damage to immobed mobs and AVs just like tornado. So.. If Mid's is like the game I'd go with 5 Posis and a recharge.

I just logged on and looked. This character used to be able to end crash *with* speed boost on him. My alpha slot and a whole lot of slotting choices to buff recovery have helped that considerably. I mention this to explain why I have picked some of the sets I did.
Water Spout could still use a little work, maybe one more piece of undermine def and/or 2-3 pieces of the positron targeted AOE set.
Tornado
Allowed: End redux, Range, Disorient, Recharge, KB, Def Debuff, Damage
Sets allowed: archatype, KB, Acc Def Debuff, Recharge Int Pet, Stuns, Pet Dam, Def Debuff
My slotting: Blood Mandate Dam and Dam/End, Touch of Lady Grey Debuff/recharge, Debuff/recharge/end, Recharge/End, Dam Proc (all lvl 50)
Water Spout
Allowed: End Redux, Range, Disorient, Recharge, KB, Def Debuff, Dam
Sets: KB, Stuns, Targeted AOE, Def Debuff
My slotting: Undermine Def Debuff, Debuff/Rech/End, Debuff/End, Basic IO's Rechage, 2X Damage (all lvl 50)
My Storm/Elec Defender uses both the Achilles chance for debuff and razzle dazzle chance for immob procs. Both of which are awesome in tornado. They can also both be put in water spout. When the imob procs the poor stunned target has to just sit there and take it while the tornado/spout chews them to bits. I have watched tornado (and I assume spout can do the same) pick up a boss, toss it into a corner and hold it there unable to do anything while chewing them to dead. It always gets a cackle out of me when that happens.

Hmm, then I'd go heel proc and 5x posi's blast (all but def/range).
