Not sure they'd go for tentacles for an Assault set (given mentioning Dom, which has, by default, immobs in the primary for most sets.) I'd move the snipe down to 35, similar to the other sets - mind you, I generally like snipes, just not on a dom. Possibly shuffle siphon life around and fit Smite in somewhere.
Still want a Dark Assault, yes. And a Dark control. And Electric control.
An immob in the secondary isn't much of an issue. /Psionic Assault has one in Subdue already. Although I'd think that Midnight Grasp would be a better pick then Tenebrous Tentacles.
Life Drain is an odd choice. I'd expect it to be skipped quite often with Siphon Life also in there. Healing is nice, but by the time you get it in your list the primary should be enough to keep you from taking so much damage that you'd need both.

Dark Assault can't have Soul Drain or Dark Consumption as it's utility power, because Dominators already get both in the Soul Mastery PPP.
Most likely, just like Psionic Assault's utility power is Drain Psyche, Siphon Life or Life Drain would be counted as Dark's utility power. (Only 1/2 the Dom Assault sets get damage boosts of any kind.)
Life Drain is also a terrible power for a tier 9. Siphon Life is better in just about every possible way. (Better damage, faster recharge, lower end cost.)
I would go with something like this:
1) Dark Blast
2) Shadow Punch
4) Gloom
10) Shadow Maul
16) Smite
20) Siphon Life
28) Night Fall (instead of Tentacles)
35) Moonbeam (I would frankly rather get Life Drain here, but I don't think it's likely they would put 2 heals in the set)
38) Midnight Grasp

Oathbound's sounds good to me. I would endorse this (provided I first had enough fame for my endorsement to mean anything)

To the OP Soul Drain and Dark Consumption are already in Dom PPPs so I don't think they would put it in a regular set too. Just my 2 inf

A while back I had tried to make a rogue Council Vampyre for a dom and realized we didn't have Dark Assault, a real shame if you ask me, so I cooked this up in my head for a while, and while thinking if over I see that the selling point of this set would be to give the player using it a bit of better duration than other doms by giving them two self heals, albeit accurate ones. And with most of it's attacks low damaging compared to what other assualt sets get, it seemed like a smart move to give them something to keep them standing a little longer. Soul Drain might make it a bit over powered, since it would send the numbers much higher, thankfully, it is a PBAoE on a squishy, so maybe not.
Tell me what you think, maybe switch the powers around, maybe swap some out with some others?
