what secondary are you pairing with dark?

I have decided to re-roll one of my namesakes, Midnight Mystique, as a Mind/Dark dominator. she was originally a dm/sr scrapper and my first blueside 50, which is why I used her name as my global on my primary account, but I don't play her any more and a mind/dark assault works just as well for a vampire type character as dm/sr.
Not sure what I want to pair with dark control - I will probably end up going dark/fire, FA is the only assault set I really like, although dark assault is going to be a close second I think.

I went with Psionic Assault. Didn't get a lot of time to play last night but through level 17 its been good fun.

I rolled up Shadow Furnace, a Dark/Fire. Have no idea how it works from a standpoint of synergy as I normally don't pick fire (I just can't stand the animations for Fire Blast), but visually it is nothing but awesome.
Try my AE Arc: Out of Place, Out of Time ID#304340.
Leave your Arc title in the feedback and I will check yours out as well.
I am going to try a dark/earth 
dark seems to benefit from being close with Heart of Darkness, and earth assault is very melee focused, I can imagine Heart of Darkness + Tremor might be a nice combo!
I also like the look of earth assault when you make it look like crystals!
dark/psi here as well. I've also got a fire/dark so I cover both new set bases .

My dark/fire is coming along nicely. She's part Balrog..
"You know what they awoke in the darkness of Khazad-dum... shadow and flame."
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
I started a dark/dark since i have too many /fire doms.
Having run my Dark/Psi up to 26 I grew curious what Dark Assault was like so made a Mind/Dark Dominator last night. He feels less controlling and more damaging so far but that is in part because I focused a bit more on damaging powers having had a bit of an issue with the Dark/Psi for focusing too much on controlling.
Had the bright idea of naming the two characters to indicate they were twins when making the second character. Thankfully I created the first character on a server I don't usually play on, so renaming him was simply the work of moving him to be on the same server as all my other characters.

Dark / Ice sounds sexy. But then again, anything */Ice does. So I already have enough of them.
So, still debating.
