Your 'ratings' are very confusing, because people are used to the Sky blue=best, blue=good, red=crap, etc.

You just dump each power into a single category based on the TYPE of build, which isn't really a rating.

I am not saying that is bad, but it will cause confusion and many powers are equally good for various roles. So shoehorning em into 1 role is confusing.

Storm Pillar – wall and zone with auto-hit damage when an enemy enters a zone. Good for blocking a small corridor, useless out in the open where enemies can just go around it. Does not do damage to those who start their turn in the zone

Why would it be considered useless out in the open?  Put it in front of the enemy (or enemies depending how close together they are).  Now they have to either go through and take damage from EACH SQUARE in the area they move through, or go around it which means they burn up some of their movement.  Case in point, an enemy is 4 squares away from you or an ally, has a speed 6, and you throw down a storm pillar two squares in front of it.  It now has a 3x3 area that either it goes through one or more squares and automatically takes the damage or uses two extra squares of movement for moving around each corner of the area to get to the intended target.  While it does shine in dungeons, its not 'useless' in the open.  It still controls in the fact that it forces the enemy to make a decision of 'take damage or not get to make an attack this round'.

On the reverse side of the coin, there's relatively little reason to not combine ongoing damage effects and status effect... effects on the same wizard. A wizard that does a lot of ongoing damage is going to be looking for accuracy and penalties to saves. A wizard that specializes in disabling status effects is going to be looking for the exact same things. While there's gear like the Earthroot staff that is good for one of those builds but not the other, the primary reasons to stick to save-ends status effects or save-ends damage effects are thematic. They're good with very much the same feats and gear, and in fact a wizard is likely better off with a mix of both than by sticking to one or the other. (Once someone is immobilized (save ends), you don't get much out of immobilizing him again, but you do get something out of setting him on fire.) Summoners, on the other hand, rely on a different set of character options than bleeders. Save penalties do nothing for their dailies, and they've a considerable incentive to take ToB, which is pointless for bleeders. Trying to combine summoning with bleeding makes far less sense than combining bleeding with disabling status effects. Wizards don't suffer from "two classes in one" syndrome like clerics, paladins or rangers; any character can get good use out of the majority of the spells available, and it's very frequently better to take a powerful off-spec power than a mediocre on-spec one. (Something that's not true of more strongly fissioned classes like cleric.) I really thing that coloring powers based on their utility is the way to go, and just mentioning in the descriptive text if there's special reason that some build or another would rate it higher or lower.

"Dragonborn – Bad choice, CHA only lines up for Orb of Deception, will be unable to use the secondary racial traits because that stats don’t line up (For example, Dragon Breath uses STR/CON/DEX, which you won't have much of)"

With Draconic Spellcaster and Arcane Implement Proficiency (to either access to rod that turns all damage into the same type as their breath weapon or a frost/flaming/whatever weapon), Dragonborn can actually be very good wizards.  A dragonborn with Int 16, those two feats, and the appropriate item will have the same accuracy as an Int 18 character until 15th level, after which it will have more accuracy (reaching 2 points ahead at 25th).  The only catch is it only works with damaging powers, so no use to non damage status effect powers.  Still great for a blast mage, since being one point of damage down is more than made up for by having +1-2 to hit for half the levels.  They can get some use out of their attribute bonuses through qualifying for armor/shield feats and spell focus, and a Con based tome or staff wizard gets good synergy with the dragonborn breath weapon and healing surge bonus.
