Interesting powerset AT combos for Kin melee

I have a Kin/SR Scrapper that I made for thematic reasons: Kinetic Melee is similar to Tai Chi (or Air- or Waterbending) and those all rely on dodging or evading attacks. I've enjoyed him fairly well, though he's still low level because I keep getting distracted by making yet another Demons MM.
I tried a KM/Regen in beta (concept was a martial arts master who could regenerate due to chi control) and it was fun but I have trouble getting into Regen. Probably because of what it used to be capable of back when IH was a toggle... 
I'd definitely suggest a Scrapper, simply because they benefit a lot more from Power Siphon's damage boost. KM/Shield will probably be the best damage output, and KM/SR has Quickness to help get Power Siphon recharged faster. KM/Dark Armor might be interesting as a "dark chi master" character... in fact, I think I just found my next alt. 
Cascade, level 50 Blaster (NRG/NRG since before it was cool)
Mechmeister, level 50 Bots / Traps MM
FAR too many non-50 alts to name

The Scavenger Hunt: 187076
The Instant Lair Delivery Service: 206636
I also have a KM/SR, Brute in my case, also for theme reason (Speedster Concept). I like it, but I'm leaving the toon on the back burner until Inherent Fitness

I have tried a KM/SD that stalled around 12, a mixture of too many alts and burning out in Praetoria and already playing 2 Shields to 50 and another two to the mid 20s (Elm/Sd and SD/EM to 50, Fire/SD and SS/SD in the 20s), a KM/EA Stalker which is in his mid 20s and who I really have enjoyed, and recently just started a KM/Dark Scrap to see how that goes.|

I really like the set but so far it hasn't clicked with a defense and become a toon I really wish to play.

I highly suggest the KM/ Stalker, with either Energy Armor, Ninjitsu, or SR, but I think the KM/Dark scrapper could be a lot of fun and look really bad a$$ as well.

Zero Defex: DP/MM//Mace Blaster
Mutant X-7: Fire/MM//Mace Blaster
Running my Kin/EA gloriously

But I hope strongly that they assume a meth-head somehow managed to hack into my forum account and make paper airplanes out of my posts, because I hope they recognize stupid when they see it. I assume they will recognize futile just as accurately.

Well, my KM/DA Scrapper is in the thirties and is really rather bad-adze. Rather fun to play, and stacking damage buff powers are always fun with damage auras. Stacking stuns is fun as well.

Dr. Todt's theme.
i make stuff...
I went KM/WP for my stalker. I'm not sure that was the best choice, but thematically, it went the best.
