Personally I've never though Psionics were all that impressive. There are a few powers that are total BS such as the various Bio-Manipulation variants.

Could you be a bit more specific as to the powers or perhaps O.C.C.'s you're having trouble with?

Assigning a new Psi power to a category is pretty easy. Healing is mostly medical-type applications, Physical affects the outside world and the body, Sensitive detects things, and Super is the heavy stuff that either does a lot of things, or does one big thing.
