Well, Psychic blast has plenty of -recharge, so if you want to capitalize on that you can go with storm, cold domination, or time. Storm has some stuns that can layer up with Psychic's stuns. As for the other two sets, I don't have much personal experience with them.
I would go with either storm or cold domination since you haven't experienced those ones yet.

Kinetics encourages you to be in melee range, so cones don't work as well with it. It's not like it gimps you to use a blast set with a cone with it, it's just something that makes combat a bit more of a hassle.
Your ideas of time and storm will both work well with the combo, and arachnid's suggestion of cold is a good one too. Each of them have their own respective drawbacks though. Time is pretty defensive and low on the offense, storm has a good number of tough to use/situational powers, and cold is painful until it gets its later debuffs.
The synergies with psy blast IMHO should include resistance debuffs because when certain foes resists psy damage, they resist it like no other. So, my suggestions would be storm, cold, radiation, time and dark miasma. Storm, Rad, Dark get their significant -resistance powers earlier.

Hmm storm/psi sounds really interesting, Thanks, I'll keep watching this for additional posts.. but sounds like a storm/psi defender, probably with the /psi epic pool.
Storm gives you 2 tornadoes.
Hard to argue with two tornadoes.

Hard to argue with stacking -recharge. The single target psy blasts will domination and tk blast are quick hitters, which are key aspects to stormy.

I paired it with Dark Miasma on a Corruptor and liked it a lot.
The two cones fit well together... Psi Blast's cone is really big. Stare >> Psi Scream >> Tornado is a fairly effective combo. I added the Psi APP so I could sleep the group before starting the assault.

I certainly recommend storm/psi, but you may not want to plan on the /psi epic pool. Storm requires more endurance than most sets, and so I highly recommend choosing an epic pool that has an endurance recovery power to help mitigate this problem. Of course if you always team (in which case vigilance may help you a little, especially if there are blasters) or find that your playstyle doesn't lead to any endurance troubles by the time you're 41, ignore this advice.

I tend to agree. You might want to consider Elec mastery for Elec Fence. It's the only immob that a fender can get with a -kb in it. great for tornado parties.

I played storm/psi to 50, and I loved it.
I thnk traps/psi would be quirky weird fun.

I'll add another consideration into the mix. Try picking a relatively hands-off, light-on-clicks primary so that you can pick up more Psi powers to better experience what the set has to offer. It'd be a shame to pick a super busy primary that would demand so much attention in order to be effective that you hardly ever get to psi blast and enjoy your secondary.

Agreed...
When I first made my Storm/Psy Defender he was a "themed" character...he has 3 "tornado" powers...
Tornado from the primary, Psionic Tornado from the secondary and Whirlwind from the Speed power pool.
This was before Storm/Psy and Whirlwind were "awesome" in pvp
Freezing Rain + Psi Tornado was a pretty good combo for knocking mobs up/down.

I've been branching out into AT's I don't play that often, and I'd really like to try a psy blast character, a defender most likely as I haven't played one of those at all. Only buff/debuff sets I have experince with is Dark miasma, I have a level 50 demon/dark, and Time manipulation, two low level /Time Masterminds, so I'm not to picky on primaries.
Kind of looking at Time, Kin (maybe), or Storm but I'm not to picky, all advice would be most welcome! Thanks for your time.
