Okay, obviously the pre-i15 guides are not nearly as useful as they were. Ive read the patch notes and followed many recent threads, but I am still unsure how I15 affects the solo dom. There are a lot of threads saying Wow my (whatever) / (whatever) dom has really improved, but its difficult to get a sense of how they compare.
Are there any opinions as to most effective solo builds for PvE? Or should I just stay with my ice/ice blaster, who has great damage and pretty good damage mitigation through holds and slow effects? I really like being a blastroller, but dominator seems to be the AT which most closely fits this playstyle and Ive never played one before. Im not particularly drawn to any concept build, I dont really care if I am using plant, fire, or gravity powers.
If there are any posts or recent guides on this subject that Im missing please let me know. Even paragonwiki basically says all the information on doms is out of date.

I've played my 2 older Doms and made a new one since I15 hit. My experiences with them:
Plant/Thorn (old character): Meh. He does do more damage than before, but to be honest I just don't care for /thorns. It may not be logical or numerically sound, but the set doesn't have the "feel" of high damage to it for me.
Ice/Ice (old character): He solos extremely well. Running Arctic Air can cause Endurance issues at times even with Stamina. My answer to that is I typically toggle it on and off as the situation requires. Doing this causes him to have no real End issues.
Mind/Fire (new character): I made this character specifically to try out the leveling experience on Doms in I15. I LOVE him. Mind is an awesome, control heavy set and fire is, well, it's FIRE. 
My 2 infamy.
