Well Dominators generally do more dmg. Most people roll Mind/Fire. Pain, Cold, and Thermal Corruptors are pretty popular also. As far as Corr primaries i beleive Sonic and Fire are pretty much the main choices.
Before anyone can give you a really good answer, we need to know your playstyle preferences. Are you going to be mostly solo or teamed? Arena or zone? Do you prefer to fill more of a buffer role or do you prefer all offense? Before you decide, be aware that most of your powers function very differently in PvP than you're used to in PvE, especially on a Dominator.

I would like to deal a lot of damage and have something versatile in all pvp situations
I'd like to team in zones but wanna be able to hang around by myself too
What about masterminds? Are they a good choice for pvp?

Well with the change to the way mezzes work in PvP, Doms really have two blast sets.

I dont really think Dominaters do more damage, unless you compare /fire with, say, assault rifle. Anyways, I think a corruptor that can solo will do you well. I would reccomend rad or sonic blast with thermal or pain domination, of course you could always roll a grav/energy or mind/fire or something of the sort if you don't want a corruptor.

Especially with Mind/Enrgy. Rolled a Mind/Enrgy to level up during the double XP weekend. I'm really, really, liking her. debating whether I should grab Leviathan or Mu. I like Mu because I can still be active with surge of power. And domination takes care of the end drain once surge ends. However, how hard does DR hit Surge of powers resistance in PvP? |

As a response to the OP, not sure about the rest of the pvP community but when I roll a MM for PvP I find myself playing the part of tank/support due to the lack of manueverability; taunting the Melee enemies off the squishies, buffing my teammates and spaming webnade. The kills I do get usually are due to an enemy getting Power Pushed into my pets, or mezed near my pets.

Makes it completely useless, just like for blasters. With the shield and PvP res, you're already basically at the cap. All the surge (or FoN) does is give some very minimal extra res. Definitely not worth the power pick.

If for some reason you find yourself with a build that has Surge of power or Force of Nature (not the accolade), consider slotting it for end recovery rather than resistance. The resistance will do nothing for you in either a DR on or off scenario, but slotted for end mod and added in with all the other recovery of a decent build means Heat Exhaustion is a lot less scary for a 2 min period of time. Especially on a dom where you can refill at the crash. it should give you a ~3 min window (2 while it is up, ~1 more from the dom refill) where you aren't downing blues like they are going to be removed from the game in the next patch.
Exactly. I forgot to mention that. At one time (in I13 I think) I actually did use FoN for the +end. But then I realized my blaster had zero end problems anyway, so I dropped it.
Hi I'm new to the game, I wanna roll a ranged pvp toon on redside but can't decide which one
I'm undecided between a corruptor or a dominator, can you tell me which one is better for pvp and the powers to choose?
