From what i've heard. If they have a CM bot in base and you can't get at it, then hope you got another AT to play because Dom won't be doing much 
I rarely see Dom's to really say, the one time we had one it was actually really nice as he'd grab the hero's in vines and they'd die in seconds. But there was without CM.

I've been fiddling with Domi's for PvP.
Now i'm wondering wether domination hits through a (powerboosted) CM? And stacked CM?
Anyone can tell me about his experiences?

It would be nice if a % of the hold did go through but sadly it doesnt.

I don't think it's realistically doable to break through PB'ed Cm, however you can break one or two Cm if you're lucky/skilled enough to survive that long.
CM is about 13 mag iirc, and your holds are 8 mag in domination (technically 4 + 4). One of the few good things Doms have going for them is the Domination hold is unresistable (which means the hold length can't be reduced by stuff like AM or Acrobatics) ; so if you have enough support or if you're just plain awesome, you can break through one or two CMs.
A dom has burnt through stacked cm on me before, dont know about pb+cm though.
"CMbots" are a waste of time and team space dont see the point of them. Only time I go back to base is when Im dead

Depends how many are stacked and if the player had mez protection to start with.

Are you sure lexce?, I thought dom holds were 3, and domination was + 1 = mag 4. Equal 4 holds to break CM, CM is mag 13 iirc.

I was under the impression it stuck on an extra hold to double the mag. The magnitude of CM is different for defenders and controlers. Scrapper level from a controller, and tank level from a defender.

Dominator Hold is Mag 4 vs. Players, Mag 3 vs. PvE opponents. Domination adds a secondary hold of same magnitude over the first one with 150% the duration.
Effectively a Domination Hold is a Mag 8 Hold for the original duration and a Mag 4 Hold for the 150%. This means stacking Holds during Domination period is a bit different from just stacking Holds, as if you have 2 Domination Holds on a person the Maginitude is actually somewhere between 8 and 16, depending on what point in time the sample is taken..
This means the faster you can stack them, the easier it is to poke through a Toggle-type defense, as you need just 1 fraction of a second of maximum Magnitude to get the Hold through. Vs. CM and the like, the stacking of Domination Holds is a bit harder (as the Magnitude of the Hold drops mid-Hold).
