It's fairly bad.
There are a number of major issues which I'll address first.
* Flashfire is the single most important AoE control power of Fire Control. I'm used to seeing people underslot it, but this is the first I've seen to skip it completely. Take it. Give it 5 or 6 slots.
* Char is the single most important ST control power of Fire Control. You take it at L1 and you slot it quickly. You should feel bad about not having 5 slots in it by L10 and mortified if not by L20.
* Ice Sword Circle is your major source of AoE damage. One of the real beauties of Icy Assault is that it gets such good AoE damage early. So take it when it's available.
* You're taking Hot Feet way too late. For most Fire Control characters it's a key power, not just for the extra source of damage, but for the extra control effect of enemies fleeing when they are in its radius. Leave it until after Stamina, but not into the PPPs.
* No Hasten. Hasten is near mandatory for Dominators. Yes, taking it will excerbate your endurance issues. Not taking it will negatively impact how awesome you are.
* Ring of Fire and Smoke are marginal powers at best. I'd leave the former out completely and the latter makes a good L49 power.
There's also lots of slotting issues. Health does not need 2 slots and Fire Imps doesn't need 6 (4 would do it). Bonfire just needs a single Recharge slot. Frost Breath needs some damage. Hot Feet needs another 3 slots all End Reduc.
Hope that helps!
Pre I15 Icy was so endurance intensive that it was very difficult to run Hot Feet for very long at all, and certainly not permanently. I'm not sure how it is now, but be prepared to have to turn Hot Feet off and on a lot.
Fire Cages doesn't need all those slots, a single accuracy is often enough, or you could add an end reduction too if you wanted.
Smoke is autohit in PvE, so the accuracy enhance only makes a difference in PvP.
Hot Feet can't be activated while in flight, so Hover is kind of a pain with Fire/.
Bonfire's damage is negligible, so just leave it with a single slot of recharge reduction.
I'd take some slots out of Poisonous Ray and Scorpion Shield, they would be more useful in your attacks.
Hope that helps.
I rolled up my very first Dominator today, and I decided to mess around in mids for a while. Since this is my first Dominator, I don't really know what works and what doesn't. I know that they are not Controllers, and are not to be treated as such, but I'm mainly concerned about slotting. The slots for the mids build seemed very tight, and I had trouble deciding where to put them. So, here's the build I came up with.

Another concern would probably be pricing. I know a bit about using the market, having reached eighty-million Infamy on my stalker by crafting dropped recipes and selling them. The thing is I'm not fabulously rich yet, so I need to know the price range of the sets I used. I mainly went for Recovery bonuses, because this build looks like it'll be very endurance heavy; Although recovery bonuses seemed pretty hard to find. Thoughts? Opinions? Is my build crap, or is it okay?
