			I forgot what the blue one I had used, but making the Purple level weapons (ilvl 72) and put a blue core in and then a complex core in it..  Nothing changed from the charges , overcharge, sockets output... nothing.. What is the difference in the cores? Does it affect how many rune slots?

Power cores effect the ilvl of the item.
 
Which give better stats.

			Is there a difference between the purple ilvl 76 core and the genetic core which is also ilvl 76?

The genetic core, as well as the DS core, will put an imbuement on the item that raises its iLvl after certain accomplishments.

From what I understand only reason why the Expert Power Core (iLvl70) is good is because it is needed to make the iLvl76 Genetic Power Core and that core is needed to make the iLvl85 DS Core. The cores that are dropped which are the Blue iLvl72 are better than the Expert cores because of the fact they didnt want Technologist to have total control of the Power Core market. Having the dropped cores have more power on salvaged gear helps even that out.....I guess..
 
Same goes for the Advanced Primal Cores ( Purple ) which is iLvl 76. You may say well the GA core is also iLvl76 but of the 2 cores the GA Core is crafted AND required to get a DS Core. Yes its awful design tier wise but I didnt design it LOL.
 
Besides the lower lvl cores its:
 
Expert - iLvl70
Basic Primal - iLvl72
Advanced Primal - iLvl76
Genetic - iLvl76
Data - iLvl85
 
Bold being the ones dropped. Expert being needed to make Genetic and Genetic being needed to make Data core. Expert core > Basic Primal in the fact that its needed for a DS core. If only crafting Master gear Basic Primal > Expert core.
 
Core has nothing to do with whether an item gets an imbuement that depends whether the item is Expert or Master. Master crafts add a total of 16 Item Levels after both imbuements.
