i think the problem has to be psi, not very good dps if im honest and it needs some work, time however is a really powerful set and needs another set for good synergy, i would suggest rolling a rad/time or fire/time both are excellent choices tho, even a sonic/time would be goodstuff 
Trust me time is not your problem.
Psi is your problem, that set is a low performer no matter how you shake it. Psi only shines against enemies that have weakness to it, which is rare. The other problem is when enemies resist psi, they resist it by a wide margin. This is more common in the high game with all the robots we have to deal with.
Would psi perform better with Kinetics, meh maybe. Anything is going to do more damage with Kinetics. Time is a stellar set and the combo you picked should do well as a team based support toon, but I wouldn't expect it to shine solo.
I can only gather you never spent a lot of time on hero side playing defenders. As if you had, and tried anything with Psi you would have known that Psi blast just isn't that great. I've always wondered why so many people were clamoring for corruptors to get Psi, because I have played it as a defender and as a blaster and neither one ever impressed me. In all honesty I would rather have electric blast over Psi any day, and I feel like you have to be a masochist to play Electric Blast.
Time only displays its full power at 40+, when you have slowed response and chronoshift fully slotted, and perma-farsight to go with them. Try to stick it out until then before giving up on the set.

This is definitely a YMMV situation. I love Psi Blast for its enormous range, huge area cover, and debuffs/control otherwise unheard of in an AoE blast set outside of perhaps Dark Blast (which I would rate about the same as Psi). My Psi/Dark Corruptor with Cardiac slotted has 120ft range on all of his single target attacks, and Psychic Scream is 82ft long. IMO it is more complicated than just looking at DPS.
Kinetics would personally be the last set I'd pair Psi with, although I don't think it would be terrible. I really like it paired with Dark. But it work well with anything that plays at range sometimes (like pretty much everyone does in incarnate trials or anywhere there are lots of death patches, or if you want to be able to sometimes hover far above the action).
Enemy resistance is an irritating issue, but depending on how you play a typically avoidable one. Scramble Thoughts is also pretty much a wasted power, but Time (or Dark or a few other sets) come with their own holds to replace it with. Time in particular has a hold that can handle a boss.
EDIT: I have to add, I also love Psi Blast just to watch half the crowd get bowled over by Psychic Tornado every few seconds. Effective AND cool looking.
likewise i love psi blast, especially TK blast. But i have now deleted the character and remade her as a fire/psi dom. Though i gotta say i do miss psi wail 
So far i have a lvl 30 Psi/time corr and i am really starting to regret taking time, it just seems very sub par. It doesnt have very good synergy with psi i dont think. Anybody got any suggestions? I was thinking about rerolling as psi/kin.
