Howdy, would appreciate any feedback / comments on the following build. Currently toon is 31 and excellent fun so planning out his lvl 50 build. Should probably point out that I've gone for comfortable permadom using hasten and just scraping the S/L softcap. I'm relying on the hefty +acc global bonuses quite a bit and am likely to go down the Recharge alpha route (although not sold on that yet, just feel it's likely to be most useful).

It's my first real go at a dominator so any feedback would be welcome. Thanks in advance.

Most important change I would make, swap out the EndMod in Drain Psyche for an ACC IO.

After that, you have room to play around. Really, if recharge isn't your primary goal for bonuses, I would cut it off at 85% with 3 slotted hasten and build up whatever else you need to. You would still be able to maintain Permadom, but it wouldn't stack for very long and you would have to stay on top of clicking hasten and dom pretty much when they come up. On the other hand, leave the build as is and perhaps go for a cardiac alpha. In order to maintain your softcap defense you have to leave on toggles that aren't slotted at all for endredux. Add in your attacks that aren't well slotted and Drain Psyche/Dom might not be able to keep up against single hard targets like AVs (Drain psyche with no endmod enhancement will cap your recovery with 8 mobs).

Minor nitpick: I prefer Coercive Persuasion in Confuse instead of Mass Confusion. You get more out of the proc that way.
