I've been reading around he forums and people seems to be more into damage than doing CONTROL. Not to mention there are all sorts of builds and the tool-tips are usually vague or inaccurate.
SO is there like a cookie cutter build for a "control" wiz?
I need some info about the feats, specially the useless ones, like "Controlling Action" is it useful for AP regen? how does it really work.

Like copticone said, CW is not really a class conducive to cookie cutter builds, unlike many of the other classes. Almost every Power has some use in either control or damage, plus every CW, no matter how extreme the rest of their build, has deep control capability, more than sufficient for any dungeon. Thus, there is a lot of variation in effective builds.
You can do most of your testing with the dummies in Trade of Blades or in Foundries.
The best you can do is try to minimise the number of broken feats you take on or for those that you do take, you understand well and value them anyway, e.g. Renegade's crazy Nightmare Wizardry or if you're Tiefling Tempest Magic etc.
You can use the forum search tools or the "Outstanding Bugs List" to check on the detail of individual feats and Powers. You can also use Google's command like "site:nw-forum.perfectworld.com".
Not really helpful, i do play a lot, i have 2 lvl 60clerics and do a lot of dungeons. I am merely trying to understand the NEW CW now. Because i wonder why some cant seem to chain CC mobs much.
I also have a cw that i've been studying again....... I do study other classes to understand how i can heal better, figuring out when they really need heals and stuff like that.
The cw i believe is crucial to teamplay i believe.
At the moment i believe the best control spell for pve is Singularity am I right? So if i have "Controlling Action" that would help AP regen, but the tool tip is vague....... how does it work? I am very much satisfied with the AP regen i get from Shield-push, however if i can generate more AP and keep Singularity up all the time..... why not
I wasn't being sarcastic. I was telling you that you are looking for something that doesn't exist in the class. Any CW does enough "control" with the proper Powers. If you want to provide more support to the team, then you need to look for other utilities to add to your arsenal, like buffing the party damage, debuffing the targets, proper use of push and pulls. No party is wiping because your Entangling Force lasted 3.4 seconds, instead of 3.7, or that Steal Time stunned for 0.3 seconds less. And while there are Powers and Stats that can affect the duration of controls, they still have nothing to do with which tree you spec in.
It's also harder to parse a difference, but I've noticed my Clerics seem pretty darn grateful.
Excellent CW guide
