Total Domination is your best hold. You want to take that at the earliest...I think that is 18. So move that up.
Hasten can be moved out after you have taken Total Domination. Total Domination will be your first power that has a real long recharge.
I took Drain Psyche at 20 and pushed out Stamina until 30. Stamina was not really an issue wit Drain Psyche.
Over all I have to say I have found this particular dom build disappointing. I felt I bloomed way to late vs other Doms like plant or Earth. Earth and plant actually have powersets that contribute to the team starting a lvl 8. And thier graphics look much better- you actually FEEL like you are contibuting to the team more due to the pixels that take over your entire PC screen.
The damage was horrible until lvl 38 shockwave. Don't listen to people that try to tell you your damage output is the least resisted so it's really great. That may be true, but the RANGE animation time for your damage to cast and then slowly travel thru the air and by the time it finally reaches it's target is forever and a huge penalty.
Just curious if you leveled your before or after the rebalance to psi? I dont find the damage to be that terrible, and its not really IMO any slower animations then say energy was.
I made a plant dom, i kinda hated it. Its not that i hated confusion per say, but it just seemed like i really didnt need anything else.
This dom isnt really built to be a exempted toon, obviously i was going for recharge and with 168ish percent running almost all the time i dont find that any power has that bad of a recharge time.
For the AOE hold, its not that its bad, but i really dont find any of the AOE holds to be a make or break power for the set anymore accept maybe earth, cause its mechanics make it so much nicer then the other ones.
I have had a chance now to run both an ITF and a LRTF with the toon now. I have to say its been pretty fun. Confusion i think was a nice addition to helping the team in both i felt.
I would push Total Domination back or not get at all. It just isnt up enough for my taste. I would slot mezmerize for damage unless your going with a perma dom build, and if you are then you could keep total domination. As you already know mezmerize sleep is already stupidly long to begin with that I never bothered to slot for duration except in my teaming build. Also tk thrust is actually pretty good now since they changed the damage on it. So thats a possiblity. Like you I hate the telekinesis power its just too situational and hard to use effectively on a team without someone screwing it up. Besides it burns too much endurance for what it does now. I think you might want to play around on the test server with a few builds first before you commit to something, provided that they ever get that damn character copy tool working reliably again.

Thank You Devs for Merits!!!!
You will not need the fitness pool, you have drain psyche. -And the beauty of mind/psi is that it can keep things from attacking often enough that the +regen from drain psyche keeps you at full health most of the time.
Seriously- with sets slotted in most powers, they use less endurance, and drain psyche gives about a stamina's worth recovery per target it hits, with domination's endurance refill, I just don't see the need for stamina. That's three power slots and a pool spared, right there. I might pull up my build when I get home and post it.

The only thing i could think would be leadership pools, which would require more slotting then Fitness for sure, and then add to any possible end draining off running the toggles. I could get more patron powers, but again, more slotting,and i really hate the idea of commiting slots to a pet that is only up on like a 16 minute timer. But something to think about.

The damage statement seems out of place it has been upped in recent history.
I would advicate a force of chaos instead of a locker kind of Dominator. Mind has a lot of control and you can very easily cripple several hard to deal with targets for a team effectively. Given your stated recharge this would be simple work for you to remove these targets and still use your assualt set for what it does best. With out going into Controller lock mode. I mean if the team needs you to lock down half the spawn then what are the other people on the team doing?
I am constanly amazed on teams where we have Dominators (sometimes more than one) and they are busy with Immoblizes or trying to estalish lock down instead of focusing on the hard problem targets.
Psi allows you to fight close in or at a distance depending on the team.

Ok was my first time with both the mind and Psi assualt sets. Figured though i seem to be happy with him if i am missing anything glaringly obvious that i could do with him.
I did purposely go lite on the patrons pools, and also didnt like telekinsis, and levitate seemed kinda like overkill and could use the power choice elsewhere. The levels of powers taken might not be 100 percent on target, but i know the hancers are accurate to the build.
