I went for Rebirth Radial, and I think it's added a good bit to the survival of my Elec/Ice dom. Rebirth Core didn't look as good to me, what with the +Health instead of the +Regen...
Too many alts to list.
What is your epic/patron pool? I use Ice on my earth/fire, which caps hp most of the time with Hoarfrost. That gives me two ways to heal myself and takes better advantage of the +regen in the Radial Branch. Just a point of comparison as well, an HP capped dominator has 1606 hp vs a scrappers base hp of 1338 hp.
Looking at the other branches you can rule out Clarion, domination covers your mez protection and gives you excellent control duration, and Barrier, more defense would only be useful in limited situations. Ageless is a bit iffy as well, presumably you already have excellent recharge and domination again takes care of many endurance issues.
I'd say Rebirth is really the Destiny power you can take the most advantage of. The choice between Radial and Core is dependent on what you're using for you APP/PPP.
For my epic pool I have Scorpion Shield to cap out S/L defense.
I originally went down the +regen side of the tree, but wasn't 'feeling' the benefit. I ended up with a VR drop and switched over to the +HP T4, which apparently was a mistake.
I didn't look into the math ahead of time, and the amount of HP you actually gain is pretty pitiful (minus the first 10-15 seconds or so). I may have to run a few more trials and go back to the +regen side of the tree.
I hadn't considered Hoarfrost, but I suppose I don't really need all that defense with the control I have. An extra heal/+max hp might be quite nice.
Thanks for the information!

Ah, that's the beauty of the Ice APP. You can get Hoarfrost and the same amount of smashing/lethal defense with Ice Armor that you get from Scorpion Shield. It also has a nice AoE in Snow Storm and a handsome debuff with Sleet. I'd say it's, hands down, the best epic for doms.
