Remember that Twilight Grasp is a serviceable (although single-target) debuff as well, debuffing to-hit, damage, and regeneration rate. It's particularly helpful when you want to squash enemy regeneration rate.

Dark Miasma is playing the game on easy mode. I don't think a bad combo with dark exists in the game.
Tar Patch will help with the badguys running out of debuff range.
Slot Darkest Night and Fearsome Stare with some End Reductions until you get ready to use IOs
Who do I have to *&^% around here to get more Targeted AoE recipes added?

Question, how long have you had that avatar? Just curious because years ago I had it and had it removed and forum banned for 3 days. Just a heads up. Love it though!

Title says it all really. I re-rolled my dark/storm into a water/storm and then to a water/dark (realised that I much prefer storm as a troller secondary) and wow. Only lv25 at the minute with very basic SO slotting in most places and the survivability of this combo is hugely impressive. A couple of things I've found so far:
. Dark is of course an awesome secondary and much has already been written about it. Together there is lots of control, plenty of damage and it's pretty themeatic with the right colouring.
Not using the dark heal very much at all ... It's nice to have as an oh crap button but the wind up time seems overly long and of course it misses at all the wrong times. Also the siphon life (can't remember names for any powers!) clone in water is a constant source of top-up healing and seems to be a solid attack (not in love with the sound effect though).
I dropped the tier two blast as soon as I had the siphon life one and the tier three (water jet?) and haven't looked back. The animation for the tier two just seemed out of place and even without large amounts of recharge I don't seem to spend much time without anything to do.
End use ... Pretty much the only downside. I've stamina three slotted with a perf shifter proc in it and the miracle proc in health but am desperate for more slots in my attacks to get end reduction in them.
Not getting killed much though. The combo of darkest night (only one to hit debuff slotted) and fearsome stare (no to hit debuff slotted) is absolutely amazing. The biggest problem so far seems to be highly mobile enemies who can get out of the debuff area. I'm planning to go redside to pick up leviathan for both theme and for the immob.
Not using the build up as much as I thought I would. Given the combo mechanic I thought this would be used much more but I tend to forget it's there half the time. That's probably more to do with me though!
All in all water seems very good indeed. It trades a bit of damage against fire (although the combo mechanic claws some of that back if used) for loads more utility. I'd even say *gasp* that it's better than fire
