You don't want scramble thoughts or psychic wail for a pvp rad/psy.
You'll want to slot either the snipe or mental blast, your attack chain will suck without one of those two.
TF isn't a good choice for a rad/psy imo, one of the strength of the build is being a ranged damage dealer, spending time to get into melee against a moving opponent and then spending 3,5s animating while you could just use TK blast + will dom in 2s for more dmg (and I'm not even taking in consideration smash/nrj being more resisted than psy).
SS works better with at least 2 runs (capped at 2 runs actually, but 3 helps against slows).
The 3rd end reduc doesn't do much good in assault and tactics.
You might want to pick Vengeance if you plan to do 2vs2, 3vs3... PB'ed vengeance is great.
:O
I would advise checking US boards on a rad/psi
I would say though, having a rad/sonic with copious amounts of HOs and is as end effecient as you can possibly get, to ditch leadership entirely as you will NOT have the end to run it and will only be of any use teamed with a kinetic
**Acceptable "support" responses**
Its your fault
Its your computers fault
Its your ISPs fault
The build looks good to me and snipe and mental blast are definitely not needed for a good attack chain. Subdue, TK Blast and Will Domination are really all you need. 38 is pretty much a free choice and Psychic Wail is a common choice.
I would lose Scramble Thoughts, pick up SS at 35 and get the shield later on, probably losing a slot or two from both TF and CP to be able to slot it 1 end reduc 3 dam res.

This is true, Concealment is a common alternative I believe.
I think I would probably lose Psy Wail too and pick up Stealth, Invis and Phase.

- Cant drop tactics cause of invis and a little bit cause of no aim/bu. IMO its an assault tactics build.
- Drop scramble thoughts, its not needed. Take shield instead.
- Keep TF, but 5 slot it. 1acc 3 dam 1 end, use only with powerbu.
2 jumps in SJ
SS dont need 3 runspeed, you jump away from slows. I normally use your slotting.
Get HOs for a full chain with your 3 main attacks. TK-blast,Will dom and subdue. Else just go with a bit of a crappy chain. The others are practical useless attacks.
3 jumps in CJ and 3 in hurdle please.
Perhaps take 2 slots from assault, cause you arent gonna run assault unless conserve is up.
Nuke isnt needed. Rad psi is about constant damage not burst.
Perhaps slot your heal 3heal2recharge1heal, its quite expensive. Or get a golgi.
Slot LR 2 acc 3 recharge 1 end, its very expensive
And ffs get your armor!!!!!

The amount of people that take invis on a pvp build is very small, and most of the builds that will trouble you when proficient with it won't have invis. With RI and proper slotting (especially when you're HOd) the toHit buff isn't too much of a factor.
The advantage of taking concealment instead is that your 38 power is no longer redundant as you can grab phase and have a handy panic button.
Apart from that I pretty much agree with most of what you said. Tactics is great to have, but if you can't kill people quickly with this build then you are gonna have end problems. But I suppose, if you can't kill people quickly with it you're probably going to have problems in general.

You might want to log in-game and check that... Without HOs, you'll have HUGE gaps with only 3 attacks if you're not buffed, and it'll be even worse as soon as someone hits you with -recharge.
With that slotting, all you can do will be subdue, TK, WD, subdue, TK before waiting for attacks to recharge ; and that's assuming you're not fighting any ice/ /rad /kin /storm controller, ice/ /rad /kin /cold /scorpion corruptor, rad/ kin/ storm/ /psy defender, ice/ /ice blaster, ice/ /ice /psy dom, /poison /scorpion MM, /scorpion brute, /scorpion stalker... Oh wait, maybe I could have said "pretty much any PVP powerset for non-melee ATs". 
Same thing goes for invis, most pvp stalkers builds have invis, all pvp ill have sup invis, many 1vs1 builds have invis/PS.

SS' main use is to move while webnaded (and before I have to point the obvious AGAIN, I'll add most of the time you don't use webnade *alone*, you do it with some kind of strong slow), which is why it can be useful to have 3 runs when you have slots to spare (unless you always pvp with a kin). Why use SS over CJ/SJ when you're not grounded, unless you're chasing someone? Bunny-hopping FTW.

Erm, to what end? Power boost doesnt have toHit in itself.. It'd buff aim or buildups toHits but this build doesnt have them.. Or does it buff the defdebuff of RI? (afaik it doesnt)

Power Build Up has +ToHit +Dam +Special, and iirc it'll boost RI, but I may be wrong.

PBU does boost the ToHit Debuffs in RI. Makes you very hard to hit without the opponent using BU/Aim or FA. 
As for the build, why not try it on Test? I also think endurance will be an issue, so u'll probably have to look at dropping the Leadership pool. Keep a attack chain of TK blast, Will Dom and Subdue. Drop the Scramble thoughts, Will Dom cuts through acro anyway. and you must pick up the epic shield!!!! 
Hehe cheers for the thoughts guys. Yeah I agree on picking up the shield is a must. Actually, that's the main reason why I posted the build. Haven't tried the build in PvP yet, and will dom cutting thru acro is good news, in fact I had taken scramble thoughts for that purpose just in case, to be tried on test. I will try both builds when I'm back, one with tactics and the other with concealment, but about the recharge of the chain I have found no trouble in PvE, I always seemed to have a couple of attacks up. Snipes I don't like for duels unless on my fire blaster, but that's only cos of boost range+bu+aim+concealment+DoT, that enables you to play the sniper way.
Anyway, thx for your time guys, I'll soon be trying the toon vs u lot and see how it's going

If slowed and web naded you will still not get away if you you have 3 SOs in SS. 2 is all that is needed. If this happens then you use temp power TP to get away.

So it would buff exactly everything? Somehow I find that hard to believe. To my knowledge it is same as power boost with a different name but unfortunately I dont have character with it so I could test.

PBU is +Acc, +Dam, +Special so its Power Boost and Build Up combined in one power hence the name Power Build Up

Yup, unfortunately it also means the recharge/duration is worse than PB.
This is the thought I've got for my rad/psi as soon as I'm back home in a few days. Any tips and comments welcome:

I would really love to fit the shield in, but can't seem to find room for it and keep TF full slotted. Any idea?
