Safe as far as I know. Perma dom survived the great dom revamp already so it looks promising. Additionally its not like perma doms are that powerful in terms of reward rate. Also doms are pretty self contained. They aren't very good forcemulipliers (at least at this point in time) and they still top out at almost the exact same point as non-perma doms in terms of what they can or can not control. Basically with a few rare exceptions neither doms or perma doms are able to control AV's, but both can fairly easily handle bosses.
right.

To my understanding, you could easily achieve perma Rage with 3 recharge SOs, making avoiding the crash an incredibly easy task. Perma Dom, on the other hand, requires a hefty amount of +Rech from IOs or outside buffs, and the power itself isn't slottable at all.
Domination used to give a damage bonus, but now that that's been spread out across the secondaries as buffs and removed, I don't think Perma Dom is as OP as it used to be. For sets like Ice and Gravity, Domintation is basically an end refill and status protection, since their main controls aren't boosted by it.
I think we're fine. But I'm not going to ragequit if they suddenly think it needs nerfed. Even though it won't last twice as long, having my ST hold recharge in 3 seconds(or less) is really nice.

with rage you still crash to the point where you do very little damage and stuff even if the one that over laps it is still up. Dom on the other hand, when it crashes and you over lap them, the one that wears off just goes away with no effect.

As has been said, permadom already survived the revamp to domination a couple years back. So i dont think its going anywhere.
The thing is that IMO perma dom really the most attractive feature to me right now, what i miss when its down, isnt even the control, its the status resistances. The other night i was on a ITF, and before the last mission i had gone out to smoke. When i came back i thought i was lagging out because none of my powers would fire, and suddenly realized i was slept and it didnt even occur to me i could be, where it would have been the first thing on my mind playing a blaster.
By the time you spend MILLIONS UPON MILLIONS to reach perma dom, there are so many other benefits your getting off the IOs especially dealing with recharge for other things, that honestly though the mag is nice, things like having mass confusion up for every other mob, or perma volcanic gases really honestly makes the build more then the mag bonus. The end result might be perma dom, but the other benefits even if i was just shy of perma dom would still be well worth the investment on a character i like to play. That there is the real kicker to me, i would never invest as much on a character i was just messing around with. My blasters and dominators are my favorite characters so they get my attention and money.
I have to agree with QuiJon. Dominators have already been revamped once, I like to think that if they haven't changed perma-dom since then, they probably aren't going to at this point. And while perma-dom is a great boon, I get more joy out of being able to use Seismic Smash and Fissure every 6 seconds thanks to all the recharge it took to get to perma-dom 
Yeah I seriously doubt theres any plans for a perma dom nerf.
A limit to how much better Doms can get with IOs + the future incarnate system? Maybe.
With Ios and recharge things I hear about and seen some Dom reach a level of perma dom. To me it's great, and I think it's just is the fruit of proper slotting. Yet on the flip side, some people said that perma dom makes everything too easy, or is over powered. Now, I remember in Super Strength, you use to could have it perma and never suffer the crash. Now it has been changed as it will go into crash mode even if another Rage is up or three for that matter. I havent been watchign the news laterly but I've been heaqrign about improvements lately will Perma Dom suffer the same fate or is it safe to say that investment is safe? what's the word?
