What should happen in an AV fight is that I should be confident that if I activate domination and stack two holds on an AV it will be held for a few seconds. (unless there is a particular reason why that AV should be resistant to hold).
I would like to see a toggle dropping effect on AVs as well.
(not to mention longbow bosses).
I really should do something about this signature.
I like the jekyl and hyde style of play, aggressivley fighting to push domination up then ripping everything apart once its there. I dont even feel very weak outside domination.

I feel that dominators are, by and large, fine. They need to sort out the AV's to give us a fighting chance of being able to hit them, this whole purple triangles thing is silly. How can a dominator expect to see the window of opportunity amongst all the special effects a team of 8 Wanging on an AV can bring?

Gotta disagree with the whole Doms are useless against AVs thing. 2 of us in an 8 man team on a mayhem mission managed to perma hold Valkarie (Hero) and keep the masses of Longbow minions she had either bouncing up n down or be AOE held by vines. As far as im aware only i had DOM up but i think we both had it on by the time she was down to half health.
I'm going Plant Dominator so that when I fight AV's I can plant a Spirit Tree and go "Look! I'm helping! See? I'm not useless!". 
And now on a serious note, I agree mostly with the comments in this thread. As a Brute mainly, I see Dominators as a barrier between me and Fury. At least, I did, however in the post-40 content, they are very handy to have around with the big badguys and the big numbers coming into play.
Maybe its a case of either you have 2 Dominators in your team (to stack enough Holds on those AV's and such) or you live without them completely. I don't know enough about Dominators to comment further. 
Doms were designed to be the Jekyll & Hyde type of things, I'm glad they're improving Mr. Hyde-form, finally can't be stunned by a freaking EB who uses pink pom-poms of death (I seldom have more than 1 breakfree)
Now if they'd give us a Godmode instead of an AoE-blast, a Dominator can be freaky (as it is already, under Domination of course.)

Afaik toggledrops dont work at all the same way on PvE mobs as they do on players.. They should, really, but changing it might cause big PvE balance problems.

[/ QUOTE ]I don't think so, there aren't that many foes who REALLY benefit from toggles, and those who do can also be mezzed usually, which would drop the toggles as well.

But when I have domination running nothing gets a chance to Mez because it is Mezzed.

You're not reading everything.
You'll be able to activate Domination while mezzed, if you have the bar high enough of course. If Domination didn't provide Protection then you wouldn't be able to do anything if activating it while mezzed.
[/ QUOTE ]But if you normally activate domination everytime it's recharged, it's still useless
