Doms don't build for defense, we don't need it. Our mezzes are our defense. We need recharge up the *** for Permadom. You will need Hasten.
It takes at least 75% global recharge with Hasten on auto to technically be Permadom, but realistically you'll want at least 82.5% so you don't have to watch the button like a hawk. At 100% Global Recharge, you get perma-Hasten, which is easy double-stacked Domination.

With that being said, if you can get a decent amount of recharge, I'd also look at picking up some ranged defense on that toon and possibly spend some time Hovering above the battle. Your controls and your attacks are predominantly ranged, so when dealing with Mez resistant mobs (Romans, for example), you can bring a lot of damage to the table without sacrificing survivability.

My recent 50 dom, has perma haste, and around 35% S/L. I think it is pretty safe levels and does have decent in a farm, or teaming.
I'll have 75% recharge easy and hasten. I can work another two 6.25% recharge bonusses in there with minimal sacrifice, but 100% may take some hard rejuggling. Hmmm...
I was wondering more whether I should take Black Scorpion as a patron for the shield and build up some S/L defense as well. I'm 42 right now, don't know how bad *** you can make a dom at 50. Lovin' it so far!

I personally go for ranged defense on my doms. The problem I find with s/l is if you run into any other kind of damage you tend to splat, however you can (almost always if your paying attention) keep the damage just ranged/aoe by kiting, immobing, or just generally running around like a spaz. I also think Def shouldn't take such a backseat to recharge. once you have perma def is better then recharge in most cases. You'll miss mobs with your aoe sometimes you'll get ambushed so while the controls are awesome they won't always keep you alive.
... and leveling fast thanks to a double xp weekend. He's grav/nrg, if I had to pick one defense type to build for is it ranged or s/l?
Thanks,
