The mirror universe offer many possibilities as far as guest voice opportunities. With the exception of mirror Nog, who died at the hands of Intendant Kira Nerys, as did his Father and Uncle, any other Trek characters could make the crossing at some point.
We know that there is a mirror Tuvok, so Harry and Tom could also make mirror appearances should their mirror character be called upon.
"Become"? IMO, she always was. The only part of her I actively praise is her ghostly presence in your mind during "Mind Game". The rest of the time, it's hard to like her, because, as you said, you know she's plotting something or about to try to get under your good side, hoping you'll forget about her many atrocities.
In some ways as I've said before, Sela reminds me of Gul Dukat. But the difference was, whether or not one agrees with how the writers stuck it to him, Dukat did ultimately get what he had coming to him. (Tried to make a deal with the devil and lost it in Ninth Circle of Hell fashion.)
I agree "Mind Game" was very good. (Try playing that episode with Radiohead's Kid A in the background. Creeeeeepyyyyy.)
I don't blame Denise Crosby for that, in fact, I think she does a great job voicing her and also at making us hate the character, but Sela is overused. I hope Chase Masterson will be a welcome change with Mirror!Leeta.
Truthfully, I have not been impressed at all with Crosby's voice acting. It sounds really phoned-in to me, especially when compared with something as vibrant as Ethan Phillips (regardless of what you think of Neelix, I think he was the best voice actor to work on STO) or even Tim Russ, who to me makes a Vulcan sound more alive than she makes Sela or Yar sound in game.
I haven't gone for spoilers on Tribble, so I can't comment on Chase Masterson until the Mirror arc hits Holodeck.

honestly.... I think the "phoned in" complaint related to Crosby is just part of how she talks. I've heard her outside of her Star Trek roles and yeah... her voice is a bit monotone.
"Sela had saved Earth and the Federation. She had saved that idiot Kagran and his Empire and that traitor D'Tan and his weak followers. And in the process she had doomed Romulus."
My god, this woman... Never her fault, always trying to take the credit.
Even when you metaphorically slam her head against the wall of reality, she refuses to comprehend it was her fault the Iconians had a grudge against everyone because she kept their entire civilization and history away from them and allowed T'Ket to finally have her way and corrupt them.
It's classic Sela. from the beginning she's pinned responsibility to what happened to her and her mother on Picard, despite the fact that it was clear that Tasha made her own decision in her choice to go back in time with the Enterprise. Everything that's ever been bad from her has always been someone else's fault, Picard, the Federation, and underling that she can pass blame. No doubt fairly soon she'll ratiionalise this away as well as she plots her next scheme for power. She's a damaged child of a damaged mother, raised as a scorned half-breed by a set of parents less than ideal.

Infinite possibilities have implications that could not be completely understood if you turned this entire universe into a giant supercomputer.

As much as they'd like to think otherwise, Section 31 is not omniscient.
