I'm assuming you mean good synergy with Mind Control, right? Mind Control really works well with anything. It's arguably the best set for locking things down. |

Mind/Psi is actually good until you run into Psi resistant mobs (Carnies and Robots). I have a Mind/Energy and love it. It's a little light on AoE damage, but it gets better after 41, when you can get a Patron Power to help there. Mind/Fire works well together too. Fire has decent AoE potential with Fire Breath and Combustion as well as good ST attacks with Fire Blast and Blaze. Embrace of Fire helps juice up the damage. Add the Fire APP and you have a VERY damaging character.
Mind/Earth can be just as devastating, provided you like being in Melee Range.
Depending on how you want to build your Dom, there are a lot of ways you can play one.
I have a Fire/Elec Dominator and an Elec/Fire Dominator. It's hard to say which of the two I like better, to be honest.
My Fire/Elec Throws down Flashfire, Fire Cages, and then his Imps, and then hops on over to the nearest boss and hammers it with melee attacks. Any nearby minions get ranged attacks, unless the imps have gotten to them first. It's fast, effective, and pretty safe.
My Elec/Fire feels a lot more...Super than the Fire/Elec, even though it's about ten levels lower and probably weaker, overall. The combo faces some problems due to the DoT from the fire secondary keeping enemies from being put to sleep by Synaptic Charge, but liberal application of Jolting Chain keeps enemies knocked down fairly regularly while he opens up with powers like Fire Breath and Combustion. Conductive Aura helps restore health and endurance, and hopefully the Gremlins will make liberal use of their own Jolting Chain powers.
I've also played an Earth/Earth dom that used lots of control with spike damage. It also had Power Boost, which came in very handy while Domination was recharging. The pet was tanky, and fights right next to the dominator. It's a fun build that feels tougher than most dominators.
Too many alts to list.
I like Mind/Fire. Fire isn't usually a resisted damage type and it hits hard. Luckily I'm not a RP'er so I don't have to come up with a character concept for my Mind/Fire/Cold Dom -- I just know he hits like a truck.

I don't RP, either, but I find I quickly lose interest in my characters if they don't have a damn good backstory.|

Anyway, allow me to second Mind/Energy. It's an insanely fun combination, and, as with all Dominators, it can kick a serious amount of tail. I'm also leveling a Cold/Thorn Dom, and that's going really well, too. Throw down an Ice Patch, and then rip the mob to shreds with a bunch of AoE's and PROCTROPS!
