I have the same combo blaster and REALLY like Umbral Torrent as it is. I was considering slotted the OF proc..then though that..no, I LIKE the kb. Sure it can be annoying (for team mates) but as long as you dont use it like a tool (being a tool, not using it like a tool) I still think it is useful.
Besides, the mitigation for the kb is BETTER than just knockdown..cause they fly awya then have to get up 
And its easier to trap them in the map geometry.

I put the OF proc in my Dark/Ice blaster's Torrent. Since TT does not have -KB, I have found a Torrent that does KD insted of KB much more useful on teams. I have the Dark APP so they stay in the cones for those attacks as well.

Right now, I'm leveling a DB/NRG Blaster and having a ball with it. Corners are your friends, especially with Tenebrous Tentacles and Gloom, but I was wondering if I could take him a step towards the ridiculously awesome. I'd check myself, but I have no mids.  |
Ideally, the tank will die precisely as everyone else starts fighting, allowing aggro to be spread evenly among the blaster. -seebs, "How to Suck at CoH/CoV" Guide
Dark/NRG/soul for me.
Umbral w/ OF proc + FF proc is really very fun. Try it on beta and see for your self

Too many alts to list.
