I am a Malec-Keth Janissary with the White Lotus Riposte feat. I hit a creature with, for example, Swordburst for 30 Force damage +1d4 cold damage.
On the creature's turn, it attacks me. It takes my Int mod damage "of the same type the attack power deals". 
Is this riposte dealing Force damage, Cold damage, or ForceCold damage? Just dealing one type seems wrong, as my attack power deals both types. However, the combined damage type seems wrong, as the power deals some force, and some cold.

Force and Cold damage, because that's what the attack power Sowrd Burst dealt with Primordial Blade. Wether it is combined damage or dual damage irrevelant here, what matters is what damage type the attack power dealt and it dealt both damage types.

Quick question:
I want to multiclass into a Psionic class (namely Battlemind) with the Awakened Potential feat.

What I need to know if there is any way at all (using maximum of 2 feats other than the multiclass feat) to gain one augmentable power? If not, what's the point in multiclassing into psionics?

The problem I see is that the classes are so strongly build around power points and lack encounter attack powers at all as those are replaced by augmented at will powers, then I don't see a feasible reason to multiclass into one. Hybrid perhaps, but not a multiclass.

re: awakened potential and use of power points - - try psionic celerity (psionic power) - - - there are 5 or so feats like it which use power points for temporary buffs. I like psionic celerity, although at first look inferior to fast runner, there is no str or con requirement - and you can walk at +2 speed- can be very handy tactically to acheive position. Also psionic skill +5 to one skill (2 feat [static] and 3 power {augment ie spend pp}), can be very tactical as well.
