The debuff skill that people use is extreme poison.

I basically never see anyone using any other genie debuff, though there are several available.

I use Tangling Mire much more than Extreme Poison. They don't seem to go well together on genies either since one prefers dex, the other str. Why Tangling Mire? -Gives pet, and melee tanks more aggro, helps kill mag resist mobs fast in fox form, is aoe, and slows mobs down keeping some in AoE longer.

The Discipline Genie's innate skill benefits from Dex, and Tangling Mire doesn't. I'd consider an Str Zeal, and a Dex Discipline.

A lot of people like Cloud Eruption for quick chi and it works good on an Str genie. For Dex Genie's, there's Chi Siphon which cost less to use (300 vs 500).

As Tweakz pointed out, how you skill your genie determines what abilities are better suited for it. Most people shoot for getting 1 or 2 skills working as frequently or efficiently as they need them, and skill the rest based on what works best and their own preferences. For instance if you wanted to build a genie to use Occult Ice, you would need to use a genie statting nothing but Str, so abilities which are Str based like Second Wind and Alpha Male would make good aditions.

Personally i believe Dex based genies work best for PvE venos so i would recommend them best for general use. I built my own around Tree of Protection since i do hope to eventually build a toon with a large hp base. So i statted 60 str 15 vit (to maximize level 10 ToP, which currently at level 9 already works as a full heal) and i'll put everything else in Dex. So, with 52/70 lp at the moment, i've also got lvl 10 in Holy Path, Earthquake and Extreme Poison which provides me with a nice toolbox; one heal, a debuff which i always use with Amp Damage, knockback/interrupt and a speed boost. Further along and once i get the necessary affinity points i plan on adding Absolute Domain, to combo with Feral Concentration, and Cloud Eruption which should provide sufficient chi on my genie at lvl 100.

That would be the ultimate veno genie for me although i'm sure most posters would very likely go very different routes. Fortify is a much cheaper and more efficient way to use Feral Concentration for instance, and Second Wind is usually regarded as a better heal for veno. Eventually i think i may have to build a second genie for PvP and many people do use several genies for specialized aplications. Hope this helps.

Some venos take advantage of the defense bonus of Fox Form, and the HP recovery costs of high def to HP. Second Wind works great for the high def / low HP build and the cost is 320 vs 700 (less than half the cost per use). I'm primarily PvE and favor using my Str Genie. Take Extreme Poison vs Tangling Mire's many benefits listed already above. Now consider cost of use again: 400 vs 600. If I want to increase my own dps (vs pet's) there's Leaf Dance which provides +2crit which on my Genie is a whopping 163 seconds.

Fortify -"95% chance to reduce your magic resistances."
Absolute Domain -"Makes yourself and all allies within 5 meters immune to all damage for * seconds"

-In a pinch, AD is going to save your butt while casting FC. It's also commonly used on timed AoE's like for the last boss of TT 3-3, or Canonfist Orclord (warsong fire).
