No, Doms do have the DPS, but it can take quite a while to take down certain AV's. Holding them doesn't change their regen, we're just holding them so they can't attack us back. Otherwise you're not going to survive against a lot of AV's without heavy inspiration use.

Only /Psychic Assault has -regen and taking that set, would nix the AV holding ability solo. What's happening here is the Hold component of Seismic Smash is combining with the primaries Single Target and AoE holds, plus domination and powerboost. Stacking up enough magnitude to overcome the AV's PTOD (Purple Triangles of DOOOOM). |

Doms do hit very hard now, but wearing down an AV solo is still a bit of chore. I suppose bringing along a Shivan or some nukes would speed things up a bit. However, I'd love to see an Earth Assault Dom teamed with a Rad or Traps Corruptor. The two of them combined could probably duo almost ever AV in the game.
My level 50 Dominators:
Madame Mindbender 50 Mind/Energy
Fly Agaric 50 Plant/Thorn
Nate Nitro 50 Fire/Psi

Power Boost mostly, and Seismic Smash to a lesser extent both help, but aren't necessary. My Mind/Fiery is capable of soloing AVs, and people have reported success with Fire/Psi as well.

I approve. Good job Hirsh.

So far, the only AVs I haven't been able to roast on my Fire/Fire are Statesman and Lord Recluse. As far as I can tell, they're not possible for a solo character to permahold, and they can kill me very quickly.|

I wouldn't have thought it was possible on Ice/, let alone /Earth, though. In fact, I've been telling my friends that I didn't think it was possible for any set other than Mind or Fire Control.
Good on you for proving me wrong.

If I quote #'s, they're from City of Data.

It was either Taunt or Purple Triangles of Doom. I stand by my decision!

Almost.
Statesman has 150-mag protection to most mez rather than 50, and Knockback and Repel are 100 each. The power's in-game ID is [Statesman.Resistance]
Lord Recluse has 100-mag mez protection and 10,000% resistance to status effects (which makes holds last 1% of their full duration), and 100% resistance to Knockback/Repel (which makes him un-knockable). For all intents and purposes, Lord Recluse cannot be held, let alone perma-held. The power's in-game ID is [Lord Recluse.Resistance]
Both characters have no protection against Sleep or Immobilize.

I've never seen Statesman held AT ALL... perma or not. That was with 8 dominators stacking dominated holds on him, too.|

He's the only reason an all-dom LRSF is a challenge (impossibility?) without temps. Although I haven't tried one in a year and a half, so who knows now.
Please buff Ice Control.

I was on one about a week and a half ago that finished the mission with no Temporary Powers. Lots of Inspirations, though.

Doms have the dps. Some sets have regen debuffing powers, but I don't think the ones shown here.
