Not much damage in the game is Fire/Cold, you'd be better off slotting for S/L/E/N instead of S/L/F/C.

Don't slot Focus and/or Follow Up with a Taunt set bro, Focus is one of the better single target attacks in Claws, and you will need it in your attack chain. Focus needs a Damage set. I love me some Taunt sets too, but they go in the power Taunt, as a mule. 4 Kinetic combats are NOT enough damage in an attack, so unless you ONLY play at level 50 with Musculature Core alpha, you will probably want to add a 5th slot to your 4 slotted kinetic combat attacks. A Hamidon Nucleolus (I spelled that wrong I bet) otherwise known as the Damage/Accuracy Hamidon is a great suggestion for the 5th slot, which bring those attacks up to usable levels even when not experiencing the sexiness of your Alpha slot. Those were my only real gripes, those two changes will increase your Single Target DPS to a decent level.

Also there is a fun thing to do with Claw slotting that isn't amazing but can make playing the toon a lot of fun. Throw the Gaussian's "Chance for Build Up" proc into the last slot in Follow Up, and the Decimation "Chance for Build Up" proc into Focus. Follow up and Focus will be the first two powers in your Single Target Attack Chain anyways, so you'll use them often and occaisonally experience some massive damage boosts. If we were talking about an "infinite influence" build, then 5 Hecatombs including the Damage proc, and the Build Up proc in the 6th slot would go in Follow Up. For Focus: 5 Apocalypses including the Damage proc and the Build Up proc in the 6th slot. Then you just need filler attacks like Slash, and perhaps Strike and/or Eviscerate depending on Recharge bonuses, or Spin if fighting multiple foes. Follow Up recharges... stir and repeat. I won't lie and say these Build Up procs are some kind of godly thing, since their tiny % of activation really lets them down, but the sudden surprising bursts of damage can be a lot of fun... when it happens.
