Fire control i can help on, the unmissable powers in the set are char, flashfire and fire imps. Cinders you could skip but i dont recommend it. I love it on my fire/kin but then i get a far better recharge on it. Also i'd defo get smoke, i find it useful on my controller and i can imagine it would be even more so on a dominator.
Fire/fire is probably the most damaging combination for PvE so tbh i'd go for max damage. The high damage offsets the relative lack of control it has compared to mind or ice etc. If you team exclusively and dont care about damage then a different primary would suit you far better.
Also, dominators are made to attack, to build dom, so you may as well maximise the damage you put out.
It's also a high agro set so i suppose you could stick to ST attacks if you are worried about agro, and skip hotfeet.
From what i gather the good fire assault powers (ST) are fireblast, incinerate (think thats the melee attack name) and blaze. Fire really shines at AoE damage though so i think if you neglected this you would really be missing the point of the sets.
EDIT: sry just read you wanted slotting advice, so in general you cant go wrong with 2 acc, 2 mez, 2 recharge in all controls and 2 acc, 3 dam, 1 end redux (with hasten) in all attacks. Imps could prolly use 2 accuracy now they are a lvl lower than the caster, and 3 damage of course. Smoke is fine with 1 tohit debuff and if you choose hotfeet, 3 end 3 dam does the trick.
If you have trouble building dom (you wont) you can always slot up you lowest teir attack for acc and recharge and spam it. Saying that you get flares, so i'd just take that out of your powertray

for a troller absolutely yes, for a domi not a must have
i wouldn't take firecages on a dom for two reasons mainly. 1) the temptation is to spam it if you have it, and it draws ALOT of agro as it will invariably hit things your controls havent and 2) it costs alot of end. I'd rather use flashfire and stay in melee with hotfeet, but it's personal preference. I'd take hotfeet regardless so it would save a power choice to use one power instead of 2.
I have taken the aoe immob on my plant/thorn though as it is handy to use with seeds of confusion to keep them tightly bunched and it's ticks of low dam mean you get xp for everything even if they defeat each other.
Also, the main use for firecages for me is to quickly set up containment, not something that applies to doms.

I suppose its a matter of preference. I did not take fire cages / flashfire. I did find that most of my primaries were virtually redundant. I ended up with char, hotfeet (- which just adds greatly to the chaos), cinders for those Domination moments and the Imps. I took almost all of the secondaries. As previously stated I feel almost like a blaster with a bit of control and some pets. The whole package is just great to solo. But in larger teams I sometimes feel that my net worth isnt so good.

Hey all.
I have just started playing my Fire/Fire Dom and would like some advice on slotting and enhancments. I doubt I would ever PvP with it and I will use it mostly in teams so damage dealing isn't important.
Any advice is welcome
