Mesmerize: WHY the hell people say its a great power? i've got it at lvl 1, and i still dont understand...

Because it can sleep bosses with 1 application, so being a great "Will be back to you later" kind of a power. No, you're not crazy about respecing out of it, it is pretty much worthless on teams (especially PuGs) when that Fire Corruptor hits Rain of Fire, or that Brute finds that sleepyhead on his SMASH!ing path. Great for soloing.
When I'm rolling a /Psi, I skip Stamina because Drain Psyche does the same, and better, but only for 30 seconds. 6-slot it with 3 acc (if you certainly don't want to miss) and 3 rechg. Hasten helps it to be more often too.
Skipping the tree of Fitness will save you 3 power slots to play on. 
Its really up to you, I find sleep useful for stacking holds on bosses (dominate/mez/dominate) although levitate can be used for that too. Its also useful for sleeping mobs at the edge of the battle, mobs in the centre will likely get woken up, but i guess you already know THAT 
Drain psyche I'm not sure as I'm only lvl 27, I'm planning on trying to go without stamina and use 6 slotted DP instead.

To each their own - some people like having an extra mez in their back pocket, some don't. I know that I'm always thankful for having Mesmerize whenever I get unwanted attention I can't turn my full focus to deal with. It's cheap, low-cost, and easily broken - pay your money, take your choice.

that means you can perm-hold a foe (in pvp too)

No-one can perma-hold anyone else in PvP, due to mez-suppression.

I thought that the suppression was for one type of a mezz, you could be held and smacked right that moment. Then been slept, and nobody would do a thing to you, then, when the suppression has ended, they hold you out again.
Hi guys :P
Im a lvl 26 dominator (mind/psy), and i have a couple of questions about subject's powers.
Mesmerize: WHY the hell people say its a great power? i've got it at lvl 1, and i still dont understand...
I means, ok its a fast power but.... VERY little dmg and do we really need that sleep? i dont think so.. we already have dominate, confuse, mass hypnosis, terrify... and some of them has a very fast recharge.. so, why people use it? we can already perm-hold foe with dominate-levitate-dominate etc.. so i dont understand!! well, im gonna respec and i was thinking to drop mesmerize.. am i crazy?:P
Psyche drain and stamina: i've just got psyche drain and that means it has just a slot (SO accuracy), but its already pretty usefull. i have stamian too (1 slot, SO end mod), and question is this: do you think its a good idea to respec, drop stamina (and all 3 fitness powers) basing my recvery/recharge ONLY on psyche drain?
i've road many people do that, but im not sure its a good idea... psyche drain its a pretty slow powers, 30 secs duration and it CAN miss... but maybe it can be great with 6 slots... its just need to be tested... what do you think?
ATM, i think stamina+psyche drain its amazing. with just a slot on both, i can use telekinesis and still see my end go up. that means you can perm-hold a foe (in pvp too) and nuke him like hell. (with more slots on both powers, it can be unbelivable).
i dont know if you can do that too only with psychedrain, but i think you cant, recharge time doenst permit that... or it does?^^
