New Dominators Permadom Question

Hey all I haven't done much dominating in my CoX days so I have a question regarding permadom for my new dominator. I have read the guide about permadom and understand it and all that, but I am wondering if it is still applicable or has there been changes (nerfs) to the domination mechanic since that guide was written (i10 iirc). And if so, what is the required amount of recharge (w/ or w/out hasten) to get permadom?

You can still achieve Permadom, even with the Dom buffs it's still the best way to build a Dom. With 3 slotted Hasten, you need about 70% recharge from set bonuses. Without Hasten, you need about 123% recharge from set bonuses.

Ah okay so the guide does still hold true, thanks then. So I'm guessing all the dom builds today go for permadom and capped s/l?

I'm not sure about most, but that's what I built my Dom for. Along with the S/L shield you can get Sleet, so I think the Ice and Fire epics are the best choices.

Yeah I noticed that, I can't decide on which one to take for my new Ice/Fire Dominator. I like the idea of capped s/l but can't decide how much it will really help on higher level TFs and other endgame material. And all that AoE damage in the fire EPP makes me drool... Any thoughts?

basically i'd go with fire mastery, due to fiery embrace affecting fire damage, so fireball, and rain of fire get a higher damage bonus. That and ice slick + RoF would just be awesome.
