I think development is going in the right direction with Power Pools.

One of the few things I really liked about Champions Online was its approach to power selection. Although it could get meta'y (which is fine), I really liked that I could have a pistol-wielding, ice-slinging, martial artist. To that end, I think the dev team's approach to Power Pools has been really good. They give my characters more flavour beyond the Primary/Secondary powersets without being game breaking.

 

To that end, I would love to see some more additions. Particularly, some alternatives to the Fighting Pool would be nice; maybe something featuring Assault Rifle/Energy Rifle or some Munitions Mastery animations, Dual Pistols (or a Single Pistol!), Sword/Battle Axe/War Mace, etc. I don't think they would have to be 100% separate pools for each, either. For example, for a "Close Combat Pool", let Weapon Customization include Swords, Battle Axes, and Maces and just go with a no-frills animation that works well for all three. Same with AR/ER, if that's possible.

 

Also, I'd love to see some kind of one-handed Spear Primary/Secondary or Power Pool that could be used with Shield, but I imagine that would be a lot more work.
