Fire/ I don't know yet.
Psi will still be the best or will be close to Fiery.

For those on the test server. After playing with the changes made to the Dom, which pri/secondary is going to be the best aoe soloer? I get more satisfaction at seeing a group fall than just a st. How is ice looking?

Fire/fire. FE offers the highest +dam buff and longest duration, which makes hotfeet the best it can be in i15. Firebreath will now be a bit better and while combustion took a hit it is still probably the highest damage pbaoe and with a high rech build having FE up more often should pull ahead.
Fire/fire will also be the best st damage dealer by a large margin too.
Fire/Psi. PSW is still a burly power for Blasters and will be the same for Doms. PBAoE damage toggle + largely DoT AoE does not an AoE king make.

we'll see.
I'd say Fire/Psi will keep the crown. PSW will still be a monster (very similar to Foot Stomp, and we all know how nice that is) and Psychic Scream will actually be worth taking. Add in Hot Feet and the Imps and you're looking at serious damage.
I'd say the AoE chain will go something like:
PSW -> Fire Cages -> jump back -> Psychic Scream -> repeat
It will be a bit trickier since you'll need to alternate between a PBAoE and a cone, but it should be very effective once you get the hang of it.

It is very likely DP that will keep it perceived as the best option. DP eliminates the need to "control" the mob. With less need to lock the mob you don't need to wait on flashfire/cinders and can just jump in and kill (of which psw helps with mitigation too)
That said, the chain of Combustion>Firecages>jump back>firebreath will do a lot more damage than the psi version on a high recharge build that has FE up 3/5ths of the time. Also makes hotfeet go from good to amazing.
For the question of the "best" aoe damage the answer is fire/fire provided we define best as highest.
If by "best" the OP means something else then fire/psi could swing into that position.
edit: from the sounds of it PSW is getting its target cap bumped to 16. I'm tempted to say that ALL the pbaoes should as well then, but w/e.
At 16 targets, it probably pushes psi back on top. Probably need hero stats to tell you if high uptime FE boosted fire control surpasses 16 vs 10 target pbaoe.
