A couple of things
You will need to do damage, your a dominator. The good thing is things like Mesmerize does damage.
Six slot Dominate as soon as you can!
I am not a fan of Mass Hypnosis, especially at low levels. I like to fight while hovering, and since you will need Stamina, I like to pick up hover & swift just to make life in the early days a little easier.
If you hope to perma dom then you will need hasten at some point, but it is not all that important.
In the 20s I went with the healing chain and found it to be invaluable Aid Other/Aid Self is worth it for a Dom and for your tandem.
Early on focus on slotting Mesmerize or Levitate, since your running with a stalker I would go with Mesmerize.
I am not as familiar with the Psi secondary so take with a grain of salt but this is how I would build for a duo

I think its an interesting build and would work well. However, I think skipping Mass Hypnosis while duoing with a stalker is a missed opportunity. Mass Hypnosis is an up every spawn power that can set help with setting up strategic assassin strikes. Or to neuter the alpha after a successful assassin strike.
My level 50 Dominators:
Madame Mindbender 50 Mind/Energy
Fly Agaric 50 Plant/Thorn
Nate Nitro 50 Fire/Psi
Hello again. Earlier I was convinced that this duo will work (the stalker is nin/nin).
Now I need help with a good build. My wife and I have not played these AT's before, so we need all the help we can get.
Currently she is lvl 12 and I am lvl 13. My current build is this:

I haven't seen any mind/psi builds since the big dom changes, and they would be for solo anyway. For this duo I see my role as more control than damage. My rather basic understanding is I will sleep them and the stalker will kill them one at a time.
I think this means I focus on control and she focuses on damage. I don't know if she will even need placate as early as normal.
My best guess is I should lead with mez, then hit mass hypnosis. Dominate anyone not sleeping, let the stalker take out a few. Throw in confuse and then basically spam those attacks. I can use my psi dart and mind probe on targets that are confused and/or dominated. Stalker can simply assassin strike the slept mobs and hopefully 1-shot them.
It seems both of the builds will want hasten.
I don't have a lot of infamy to spend on the builds, couple hundred mil tops.
I appreciate any build and tactics advice you can give.
Thanks.
