I know, I read it in your OP. I mentioned it as an aside to illustrate that there's something about this combo that works really, really well.|

As a GTFO, I get it, but I don't need to slot it up for that.|

However, to BBQ things at my leisure - my BBQ tools will be AoEs: Fireball, Firebreath, RoF - therefor Sleep would not seem ot be the best method for locking them down while I AoE flambeau them, right?

Mid/Fire Dom and killing things leisurely seem like antitheses. You have too much killing power to bother taking your time, IMO.

Why Blasters? Empathy Sucks.
So, you want to be Mental?
What the hell? Let's buff defenders.
Tactics are for those who do not have a big enough hammer. Wisdom is knowing how big your hammer is.

Basically, with all the damage flying around, I can't imagine an AoE Sleep power to have a lot of general utility - although I am happy to concede it may have a more narrow range of effective uses, like the LRSF or as a 'oh crap" power.
However, even as an "oh crap" power it occurs to me that what could happen often to me is trying to trigger Mass Hypnosis, but everyone wakes right back up due to the DoT on all my fire attacks. So possibly even *more* limited usefulness there.
For what it's worth I am now 36 and got to play in an awesome team last night - had permadom throughout most of the mishes with some help from an SB, a preview of things to come, and found it legendary. Terrify is a wonderful power can't believe I almost skipped it. Was firing Terrify and then either Mass Confusion or Total Domination, depending on which was up.
Good times.
Now my next three powers I will be getting are Blaze, Fireball, and Rain of Fire, and my next several slots add even more global recharge and damage. So this is the point at which things really begin to take off. Woot!
For Great Justice!
I love that dominators allow for such a breadth of playstyles.
