You've gone a very different direction than I am on my Dark/Dark. I've had perma-dom since respecing at level 40. Then again, I haven't started chasing defense bonuses yet at all.
I've got CJ, Hasten, Super Speed, and Stealth as my only pool powers right now, and I went with the Fire Mastery epic for the two sweet AoEs.
Also, you seem to have left Fearsome Stare out of your build - I consider it a very key control/debuff for Darkness Control - I slot it with Cloud Sense for the -to-hit-debuff.
Finally, have you considered NOT slotting Dark Blast? It's not a great power at high levels because Smite, Midnight Grasp, and Gloom do much better damage and all will be recharging very fast at perma-dom levels. You could move those 5 slots around to, for example, slot a level 50 Defense IO in Combat Jumping and Maneuvers, and two in Weave, increasing your total defense to all types/vectors noticeably.

I agree, I went a different direction as well. However, I slotted the ATO into the fear (two guarunteed stacks of damage) and cloud senses in the immob, (stupefy in heart of darkness....)|

I am kind of upset, because I am slot poor and slotted 2 slots into dark blast early on thinking I would use them. I really need to get those 2 slots out of dark blast. :|

They should allow unslotters to be used as un"slotters" and move slots aroiund until your next official respec. Maybe only 5 slots between respecs or some cap or something. Would sure give me a use for all of them.

So, I've made a build, and I'm close but not perma hasten, dom, etc. I'm playing this up as my first dom. Trying to get within a purple of soft cap.
Any advice?
