You're not missing anything. It's an awesome combo. I'd suggest something like Energy Wall or Energy Current for the damage, though. The damage from Energy Wall likely won't do much to the coccoon if you pick an energy that only does half or 1/4th damage to objects, and Energy Current wouldn't affect the Cocoon at all, as it is a targetted power. Both are powers with durations of Concentration, meaning you can rack up tons of damage for only a few power points.
Edit: You'd probably need a way to "see" them to use Energy Current, though.
