Power Boost doesn't really seem worth it to me: it won't increase the -res in Freezing Rain, or anything in Thunder Storm/Tornado. I will increase your defense buffs in Steamy Mist (or other toggles), though it'll only do it for a few secs (around 10), it will increase your -toHit in Hurricane for that time as well, and it will increase the -def in Freezing Rain.
Edit: it increases duration of stuns, not magnitude

O2 Boost: It will increase the amount you heal.
Snow Storm: It will increase the -run/jump/fly speed for the duration of Power Boost.
Steamy Mist: It will increase the Defense boost for the duration of Power Boost.
Freezing Rain: It will increase the -Defense that a critter can be tagged with for the duration of Power Boost. It will not increase the -Resistance.
Hurricane: It will increase the -ToHit for the duration of Power Boost.
Thunderclap: It will increase the duration of the stun. It will not affect the magnitude (ie. it is still minions only).
Tornado: It will increase the stun duration for the duration of Power Boost. It will increase the -Defense for the duration of Power Boost.
Lightning Storm: It will increase the endurance drain for the duration of Power Boost. It will increase the -Recovery for the duration of Power Boost.
Are any of these spectacular? Depends on who you ask. I love draining people in PvP mighty quick, so I enjoy Power Boost + Lightning Storm.

Power Boost hasn't boosted Knockback for a while now.

Hmm ok thanks guys. You've been a ton of help. Looks like I won't be picking up power boost, then.
As far as I know, PB doesn't increase defense on powers that have an enhanceable +resistance component, so it shouldn't affect steamy mist at all. Also, I don't think tornado will inherit your current buffs as lightning storm does, but I am not 100% sure of this one.
In normal PvE play, I can't see power boost being needed on a stormy most of the time. Power boost works well on non-toggle powers with long durations such as farsight from /time or bubbles in /ff.
