Ok, this is my much more in depth look at the build:
It seems like you are devoting a lot of slots to get the set bonuses. In some cases this isn't a problem, in others it can be.
One thing to keep in mind (this may not have occurred to you since you haven't played a troller before) is containment. Containment is your answer to damage. You do double damage to anything that is already held, Immobilized, slept, or Disoriented.
In most cases that means sacrificing hold times for damage is a mistake. If you can squeeze in more damage in addition to a good hold on something, great! But don't skimp on the hold. Cause every attack after the first will hurt twice as much.
That said, I only have my Mind troller in the teens, so most of my commentary will be about a set I have much more experience with (Radiation Emission).
Health: I haven't looked at the market prices recently, But I can't imagine that [Regenitive Tissue: +Regen] is that much cheaper than [Numina's Convalescence: +Regen/+Recovery]. Slotting Heal with [Numina: heal], [Numina: +Rege/+Rec], and a Heal IO gets you the same Regen, and 10% more recovery.
Stamina: 5 slots seems like 2 slots too many. You would be better off triple slotting that with End Mod IOs and putting those two slots to use in your attack powers.
Total Domination: I would six slot this with either a mix of Neurotic Shutdown/Lockdown, or (when you have the cash) Unbreakable Constraint.
Terrify: I feel the need to agree with Morganni about this. Slot for the powers majority affect. Fear. Glimpse of the Abyss will give you close to the same global bonuses.
Mutation: Here I know your wasting slots. Double slot this with Recharge Reduction IOs and call it done. You can use those three slots much better somewhere else.
Enervating Field: exchange the Recharge Reduction IO for another End Reduction IO, and see if you can get this earlier on in the build. If your goal is damage, reducing their resistances (or driving them into the negative) is a good way to go.
Lingering Radiation: while I think 3 slots is on the low side, it isn't horrible. But I would slot Tempered Readyness instead of Pacing of the Turtle.
Choking Cloud: This is one of those powers that people either love or hate. It takes a few seconds to set up, during which your rooted. So most people don't toggle this on or off durring a fight. You set it up and leave it running if you expect to be fighting enemies. That said, is sucks end like water. If you are going to be in the thick of things, great! Take two more slots in this and put end Reduction in them.
On the set choice: Personalty I run CC with Neurotic Shudown for the Global Acc bonus and the damage Proc, but lockdown might work as well. CC cycles every 5 seconds. So every five seconds it makes a to-hit check against every enemy in range. Of those that get hit: 80% of them get hit with a mag 1 hold, and 50% of them get hit with a mag 2 hold. The trick is to stretch out these holds as long as possible, so you can double stack the holds.
With the slotting I've put in place, you get the following after ~7.5 seconds (two pulses, things only get better with pulse #3):
Mag 0 hold: 1%
Mag 1 hold: 8%
Mag 2 hold: 18%
Mag 3+ hold: 73%
And that's not taking into account the +2 hold proc (the time table math on that gets too complicated).
So yeah, holding 91% of the minions and 73% of the bosses is why people take this power. That math is assuming that everything hits. And if you have Radiation infection on the group, that becomes a close enough assumption to work with.
Assault: This seems like a power chosen cause you have nothing else to take. Have you thought about EM Pulse or World of Confusion?
