I don't know if I'd call it "the ultimate" in crowd control, but it comes fairly close. Everything is designed around causing maximum annoyance to the enemy, hence the name. Also, cryo, fire and tech explosions pretty much on demand, so you can troll your biotic team mates.
i finally found a saboteur build that i really enjoy

the acolyte is pretty much only there if i have to kill phantoms on host and dont feel like putting in much work 
i'm really so scared for sharing this but...
Raider TGI off host has been relaxing for me. Esp when I need to conserve ops pack. But I'm mortified if i pug into a bsner.
44666.
The Slayer with the Talon instead of a shotgun is good too.
It's actually better. But shhhh, don't go around spreading the secret 
I just found out that the paladin sentinel is incredibly fun with a flame shield and a melee build.
First I blow a little snow in their face and then I gobsmack them with the shield. It's just hilarious to watch them fly as they catch fire and scream.

My go-to is always 6/6/0/6/6 (Fragless) HumSol with Falcon + detonatable ammo (Incin Pref) and focusing on Falcon/Conc spam CC. Works wonders on groups of mooks and Phantoms get undeniably wrecked (and often fly into the air on death, adding to amusement) - can also knock/prevent Banshee grabs, will halt Atlas/Brutes and others in clutch moments. DPS is lacking if you don't bring a decent filler weapon with punch for special mobs (such as an ExecPistol or something hard hitting), seeing as Falcon spamming is one of the worst things you can do on dense Platinum shielded mobs other than to knock them around on the spot - but I never take VanillaSol for the damage anyway (such as AdrenReload Claymore+Cancel Sols).
You're there to DETONATE ALL THE THINGS. More often than not you'll either top the board (people detonating your ammos when you're own detonations are on CD), or you're just behind the top players thanks to assist spam. I'm sure some people would find a 'thunk' falcon grenade followed by conc spam (2sec CD) pretty dull - but there's something amazingly fun about watching everything getting staggered 24/7 to the beautiful sound of continuous fire explosions while all you're doing is face-planting the same two buttons on a rotation repeatedly.
Something to consider when you have a lot of glass-cannons on the team and you just want to make life easier for them, without resorting to a tank style or something more complex.
Been playing a bunch of cryo soldier tonight, but with the Turian soldier instead of the human one. Skipped proxy mine, went acolyte plus phaeston or acolyte plus hurricane. No dodge or panic button grenades but otherwise it almost feels stronger than the human version. I like marksman better than adrenaline rush on cryo soldier. Over all a lot of fun. Like RopeDrink says, it looks boring on paper but cryo concussive spam is really satisfying to play. Probably my favorite play style over all. Just unlocked the falcon tonight in addition to the hurricane so I may give that a go next, though I like to have some kind of armor piercing handy every game.
Edit- guess I've had the falcon for a while after all, just never used it before

Pretty sure I said the same thing a few pages back. It's great to have a n effective way to use up all that Cryo ammo, isn't it?
all that Cryo ammo
You're funny mark. Look at Mr Freeze over here rolling around in his piles of cryo ammo. No seriously though I'm always out of cryo ammo, I just thought I'd try it on the Turian for once instead of the human. Sorry I missed your post earlier or I might have tried it sooner, I like the Turian soldier but til now I haven't had as much reason to use him. Only problem now is I'll constantly have TWO kits using up all my cryo ammo instead of one. Seriously the things I'm always out of are cryo ammo and cyclonics. I play cryo soldier more than anything, any time I have cryo 2 or cryo 3 plus any cyclonics, I'm playing cryo soldier. My other favorite builds are flamer Vorcha soldier and spam build jug. The last two always use up my assault rifle amps so I'm always out of those too. Pretty much my favorite three soldier builds right there.
Coincidently, I was playing the TSol yesterday the same way. Using my stockpile of cryo ammo and spamming concussive shot. "Icebreaker" build.

As a side benefit, you can actually make the Revenant a practical gun this way. The build plays to its strengths, namely large capacity and loud noise.
Coincidently, I have been running the Revenant on him lately. I'm all about large capacity and loud noise. Also Worlards!
(see how I worked that in?)
Vorcha Sentinel: Health recover, grenades and good melee (and flamer).
I can already hear the "Go drunk, you're home" but... the Hurricane Sniper GI.

Yes. Hurricane sniper. As in, the N7 Hurricane as a sniper rifle. It sounds like complete and utter nonsense, but seriously! I'll be at Hydra, near the back room, and headshotting husks at the LZ. With the Hurricane. Hipshot penalties on your snipers are the past. This is the future of warfare.
... also, doubles as a close range backup, and is so light you can cloak for utility (reviving an ally, etc) without being weighed down with Javelin tier cooldowns, etc. Just overall an absolutely wonderful setup.

Salarian Engineer + Falcon + Cryo/Incy Ammo IV, it's like a AoE'gasm.
Deploy the decoy, have the idiots (especially the geth) surround it, prime them with your Falcon and shoot an incenerate.
Lotsa fun on gold, not so much on plati, too many bosses, too few mooks.
Geth Engineer with no Hunter mode, damage and flamethrower Turret, Particle Rifle, Disruptor ammo.

After getting reload hiding and cancelling down pat, my latest go-to for relaxing in platinum is now Geth Soldier (Flamer & Fort, No Hunter Mode [keep shields intact]) with a Raider. Lack of mode + any cyclonic will keep you alive longer than most others, which I find better than dying in 2 hits but having better damage with hunter and/or Power Amps. As a PuG, it just seems better as most people flail around the map doing random stuff so may as well consider yourself solo half the time.
The words "Thunk Thunk Whoosh" sum it up perfectly. Might convert from flamer emphasis to weapons seeing as the Raider is used primarily, with mere half-second flames inbetween to rel-cancel and dunk armor, but the main thing stopping me is lack of credits // lack of shotgun amps to make it work properly, so may as well keep the flamer emphasis for now. Raider without amps is pretty boss if you're consistent with the rel-cancel / rel-hiding to spew out two shots every second constantly but it bloody massacres your ammo.
Alternatively, I've taken a huge shine to the Asari Huntress Infiltrator (Raider again) for when I want moar blueberry toe-nations instead of white-hot whoosh'n'thunk dunk.
TSol Indra with warp ammo. So good!
Quarian Marksman with Raider off-host. Consistent 3 shots per clip and marksman as a bonus :^)
... And you haven't tried it on the Tsol yet, I guess
Not as a sniper, no, but the Hurricane used to be my go-to Tsol weapon.
Anyways, chalk one up for the Cryo Soldier. Mad fun.
