Well, the only difference I can think of is Ice Sword Circle has bigger radius 15' in Dominator while Fire Sword Circle has 8' or 10'.
What's left is to normalize all Assassin Strikes and improve Stalker's old sets (Claw, MA and EM)! You don't need to bring back the missing PbAoE attack. You just need to make the existing ones better! For example, make Slice a WIDER and LONGER cone.
New to Doms? Just remember not to take the AoE Immoblize when it becomes available(you can take it later in your build). A Dominator's AoE Immobilize is a "Hey everyone! Shoot me first!" power. It's the main reason why Dominators initially got a bad rep from a large part of the playerbase.
hah ok

Unless you're plant. Plant's root does double damage and is pretty good.
Or an Elec. The cages have front loaded damage that doesn't root enemies. Stack it on top of that sleep patch to keep enemies stuck.
The only difference aside from the radius and damage of Ice Sword Circle vs. Fire Sword Circle is the secondary effect. Fire Sword Circle deals DoT, which is bad for builds that rely on sleeps. Ice Sword Circle lowers speed and recharge, and with Chilling Embrace, Power Boost, and Domination in the mix you'll find that they slow to a CRAWL.
I have an Elec/Ice Dom that I really enjoy, but it isn't a "wade in and enemies hit the floor" kind of toon. Instead of damage, you'll get added safety. It's a very unique character, and I find it to be a lot of fun.
That being said, if I had to choose ANOTHER Electric Control Dom, it would be Elec/Stone, Elec/Psy, or Elec/Elec.
Elec/Stone has strong hits, Conductive Aura from the primary to keep your endurance up, an added Hold in your strongest attack, and it works best in melee, where you can do the most sapping with Conductive Aura. I'd skip Mud Pots because it wouldn't synergize well with the sleep patch, and if Fissure knocks enemies back rather than knocking them down, I'd skip it, also.
Elec/Psy lets you stack Drain Psyche with Conductive Aura. That's just not right.
Elec/Elec offers strong damage and added endurance drain.
Too many alts to list.
Dominators don't get Fire Sword Circle.

Welcome to Dominators MachineSlave, sounds like you have two questions though.
I could not imagine how a Fire/Kinetics Controller is not fun, but I have always been an avid Dominator player. Depending on what you want to heavily invest in, you can create various subs sets of Dominators that vary between Damage to Control. My first Dominator when Villains came out was a Mind/Ice. So much fun and good when I was pvping. I really dont have much experience using Ice Sword Circle, but its helps generate Domination when you dont wanna disturbed villains or dont have a snipe.

Oh!!! For real? How come Root does more damage than other aoe immb? I've never noticed that (because I generally don't use aoe immb unless against runners).

Whats the difference in the two, besides one being from Dom Set and Tank/Scrap/Brute/Blaster powersets. Obivously they would have different numbers, but what kind of numbers do they have, and the difference between the other archtypes, Im currently looking into a new char, and i have never played a Dom. Im more of a Brute/Scrap/Tank kind of guy. I will be a hero on this char if i do make one. I like something i could jump in and see them hit the floor. I Have a Fire and Earth Troller at 50, which i dislike, just cant get into trollers, iv tried 3 times, with 2 at 50 and one at 45, just sitting there.(Ele/Kin for the 45, and fire/kin, earth/cold) I would really want to try something different for the primary, but willing to try Ele as a dom tho, think it would be cool, but any other suggestions be awesome. Just looking for something new to play, and try out, hoping i like it, so i say, hey iv played a dom, or yea there fun lol
