Dominator Snipes do more damage than Blaster Snipes, but most assault sets don't have access to a self-damage buff and most Blasters have access to two.

Plainly put... No, dom snipes aren't the biggest damage dealing snipes in the game.

Too simplistic Ditzy. Dom Snipes do more base damage than Blaster snipes and there are situations where certain Doms can out-damage certain Blasters in this area depending on availability of the self-buffs.|

For instance, a /Elec Dom will out-damage a /Dev Blaster with a snipe, because the Dom has Build-Up and the Blaster only has Aim.
But, generally speaking, Blasters will do better because most of them have access to both Aim and Build-Up.
Don't forget AR/Dev, all we get is an extra 33.52 unenhanceable damage 
The other thing to keep in mind when considering Blaster snipe damage is Defiance. It varies a little from set to set but for some blasters it's possible to toss out a few targetable powers before sniping for extra damage. For example a /Dev Blaster can toss out a Trip Mine and Caltrops before firing his snipe for a 33.5% damage bonus.
