I would have to see a build before I could recommend something concrete.
My defaults would probably be:
Alpha: Spiritual. Recharge obviously useful, healing is useful for Drain Psyche.
Interface: Probably Reactive, but it depends on how often you're charging into fights using mostly soft control. -Resist makes confused enemies hit each other harder, the proc itself does more direct damage, and it breaks you away from the curse of all-Psi damage.
Destiny: When in doubt, I recommend Barrier. Ageless if you need more recharge or endurance management. I assume you are a perma dom so Clarion is mostly wasted on you except to boost a team.
Lore: Anything works. I doubt you will need the support pet all that much but it's hard to say. If you picked Barrier for Destiny, keeping the Lore pets alive is a bit easier. I treat mine pretty much exclusively as extra DPS for trial end bosses and as extra hinderances for the BAF runners. For each character I just picked whatever fit thematically.

Likewise with Reactive and confusion. I deeply, truly love letting enemies destroy themselves and each other, so that would be an excellent fit with my play style.
Cognix isn't perma-dom yet but either will be at 50 or will be soon after, depending on how the lucky breaks with influence go. Barrier works for me; I like shields.
Thank you!
I could use a bit of advice, since my mind/psi dominator's leveling up astoundingly quickly. What I should I be looking at slotting Cognix with, when it's time?
Some options are pretty obvious. Spiritual alpha, if I'm not satisfied with her recharge rate by then. If she's securely into perma-dom by then, would I want to risk anything by slotting Spiritual and then replacing a recharge set bonus with someone else yummy, or is that just stupid? Also, if she's at perma-dom and I don't feel the need for Spiritual, what else would be good in there?
Judgment will probably be Vorpal because I think the look is fabulous.
Lore is lore. Do folks with incarnate dominators make much use of the buffing and healing options, or just go for moar dps?
Interface...not a clue here. My impulse is toward Cognitive, but I'd admit to being a crowd-control junkie. Is it unwise? Would a debuff of some other kind be better?
Destiny...no more clue here, either. The tankermind fondness for Barrier clearly isn't relevant. But I'm having trouble figuring out what would be smartest.
Advice welcome
