I'm loving my plant/fire personally though most people go with /psi secondary because Shockwave is sick. Electric is also pretty good. No set has any real synergy with plant but then again you don't need any with plant.
Really, anything but /energy and /thorn is awesome. Both of those are terrible sets and should only be taken if you want a challenge.

Thorny, Fiery, Icy or Psionic.
Basically anything with AoE.
Check my Powers Guide for my full opinion.
psi is great because plant is strong early on while psi is strong in later levels.
after that i'd say ice then fire then the rest are about equal.

I just want to make it clear that this (the above) isn't a universally held opinion.
Energy doesn't particularly excite me, but Thorns does not suck.

I'd avoid /psi until we see how it comes out in the wash.
I'd actually hold off on any new dom until we see how they come out in the wash, but that is just me.

imo, doms are the most fun you can have in this game. i'd ride the wave one last time and if they gut them just leave.

My plant/thorn dom would like to have a word with you. 
/thorns does not suck. /Thorns has great AoE potential and IO slotting options (-res proc in fling thorns is amazing). The -defense makes enemies die faster because they'll hit each other more often when confused. Not to mention aim is just wonderful because it gives you burst damage when you need it most (after seeds of confusion with aim) so you will take most of the xp. Ripper is awesome too. Thorn burst, impale, and thorntrops not so much. And of course it is the most thematic.

Actually, Plant has excellent synergy with Psi. Hit seeds of confusion, run into the middle of the throng of foes as they clump up to attack each other. Hit the AOE immob and PSW. Also, a Domination fueled Seeds of Confusion has been a great tool with all the custom mobs in AE resisting stuns and holds. They don't seem quite so resiliant against confusion.
Obviously, in the early game, you can use the Seeds then Psy Scream since the two cones match up pretty well.
Thanks for all the feedback, guys! I realy appreciate it!
I think I'll look at both sets and decide after I take a look-see at all their powers. Right now I'm either gonna go with Fire, or Psy.

This. Personally, I'm having a blast with my Plant/Thorn because Fling Thorns after Seeds/Roots means yes, I *am* getting XP for it all. >.>
But you absolutely want to take your AOEs.
The title says it all. I'm about to make a Dominator with Plant Control as its primary. Unfortunately, I have no idea what would be a good secondary. I'm leaving that up to you, the masters of DOmination.
Please and thank you!
