Completely amazed that no one has posted anything, I'm not mad just completely amazed.... I may have found the perfect build as of now. 
Ok, just so I don't waste this thread, is mesmerize worth getting, I may replace one of the stealth powers.
Leandro posted a quit fix for Mid's that will place the fitness pool as inherents. You can find it here: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=237758 I'm using it currently so you may not be able to open the build without trying that.
I think Levitate has more utility on a controller than on a dom, who have already got the extra damage source covered. A PB'ed Mesmerize inside Dom could last for around 3 1/2 minutes, which is pretty ridiculous. You could use it to cool off an EB or AV for a least a minute or so in cases where the team is fighting multiples.
Also, even though I don't like the look of the mallets, they're such a great damage source that I wouldn't consider skipping them. You'll already be closing in to use Fissure.

I 2nd Levitate over Mesmerize. That knockup is great for controlling a boss until you can stack a hold on him, or just kill them.
Quote:
That's a tactic I recommend on controllers, but with Dom, especially perma-dom there's no need for it. At any rate, Mesmerize offers the same tactic barring a few situations and can be used to put AV's out for a while if a team is well behaved enough to not attack them.

Having doubts about the solo farming ability of Mind... Can anyone point me in the direction of an equation to figure out the lowest charge I can get on a power with base 240s? Mass Confusion is Vidal to my cause, and the lowest I've got it is 56s with 280% recharge.
Edit: With 475% recharge, I was able to get the charge down to 40s which is doable, still a bit slow.... can a toon get 475% recharge, or is there a cap?

Thanks for the input, I'll more than likely switch out mes for lev and maybe mallet for hurl.

Nm answered my own question, but not sure if it's right unless my combat att was wrong today...
Ok, I've got to ask for help on my Build, I really don't want to just use two mule powers, but I can't really see anything else to take... Here's my build.
