Trying to revive my Mind/Fire Dom that I haven't used since getting my Fort to 50 a ways back.

What would you recommend as the most optimal attack pattern?

Attack powers at my disposal are:
from Mind: Levitate, Dominate, Mesmerize, Confuse, Terrify
from Fire: Flares, Fire Blast, Blaze, Blazing Bolt, Fiery Embrace
from Pool: Flurry

Not all needs to be used, but listed.

Dominate, levitate, fireblast, and mes are probably all you need. In that order. With enough recharge, you can probably just stick with 3 of those, the first 2 being mandatory.

thx supermax. I wasn't sure if i should use levitate first or dominate. One thing. I heard so much about Flurry...not in attack pattern?

You definitely want to use dominate first, since it shuts off people's KB protection (if they have it)...which makes levitate work 100% of the time on everybody.

I still wouldn't suggest using melee on a dom. Some melee attacks can be ok, but flurry's animation is too long. A scrapper can handle being stuck in 1 spot for 4 secs....a dom probably can't. I'd stick to range.

What's the recommended slotting for?

Levitate (got 6 slots): currently have 5 decimation and 1 kb IO
Dominate (got 6 slots): currently have 5 decimation and 1 purple dmg proc
Fire Blast (got 6 slots): currently have 5 decimation and 1 thundestirke triple
Mesmerize (got 6 slots): currently have 4 devastation (acc/dmg, dmg/rech, triple and quadruple), 1 thunderstrike triple and 1 Fortunata proc
