Fire/Kin build questions

So I'm working on a fire/kin build. My end goal for this toon is to run the demon farm at +4/x8.

Is this a relatively decent start? Or am I running off in the wrong direction? I'm just really getting into to trollers, so any help would be appreciated. I'm not asking for people to design a build for me, just looking for a nudge in the right direction.

Also, any recommendations as to what to put in FS?

First off... a ton of your powers have incomplete sets... which is a complete waste. Some of your powers have half and half of two sets...

Secondly, transfusion can easily have 1 more slot, adding another doctored wounds, giving you an extra 5% rech.

Siphon Speed could use more slots and have basic IOs in it.. like 3 rech 1 acc or something.

You don't need rise of the phoenix, unless your build had an extra power slot.

I would slot fulcrum with 3 rech 2 acc and if you want a sixth slot, 1 end red.

It's not terrible, but could use work... especially if you want to fully reap the benefits of IO Set Bonuses. The power choices are good though just need some re-slotting... I have a build I can send you (although it's very expensive) if you want to see it

@Wubstep - Freedom
Kristian V - 50 SS/FA brute
Disast3rpiece - 50 FA/SS tank
Rain of Subdual - 50 Arch/MM

That would be really great. I'm not really sure what I'm doing build wise, even with powersets that I'm more familiar with. I'd really love being able to find a build I can use that's on the cheaper side, but I'm not sure how realistic that would be, so I understand I may have to actually spend more. The only area I'm a little hesitant on are PVP IOs. Purples I can work with. PVP IOs are a little out of my budget. >.>

Is dying that unlikely then? Or will an awaken/breakfree be sufficient?

Thank you. I will make those changes.

I was aiming for certain bonuses. Mainly defense (melee and or range) or Fire/Cold defense since I'm planning on running Harvey Maylor's demon farm.
