Well, I'm still working on it, but here's my guide to Dark Control: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=286168
The short version is, almost everything in Dark Control is worth taking except the single-target immobilize, but you might skip certain other things depending on your playstyle.
Ok, here's a first raw template I made. Before you read, here's some explanation:
- I took the immobs principally to ground flying enemies, so my pets can reach them (and to add tohit debuff from spare slots);
- I didn't took Possess 'cause it doesn't suite my playstyle;
- I'm not very sure about the choices I made for Fiery Assault, any advice about powers/slots is welcome.
Ok, what you think of it?

This got me both res and both def, for 20 res and 10 def. When you add in my 7% from link minds and 3% from man, I run 20% def and 20% res _before_ native pet values.
Umbral ends up with 45% res s/l, 70% res to neg, 35% res eng, 20% def to all.
Haunt ends up with 50 neg, 40 s/l, 20 def.
Thats some good durability for some generic pets contributing generally to your combat, along with 12.50% rech, 1.5% health, 2.5% recov, and 3.13% ranged def.

Sorry to bump an older thread, but do you realize this is the ONLY Dark/Fire Dom build posted not only in the entire Dominator section, but in the Build Help forum as well?
Does the set really perform that poorly? I've got a 42 Dark/Fire/Fire dom right now and struggling with it (only have SO's currently) and perhaps its just bad synergy? I thought pretty much everything did well with /Fire on a Dom?
Hi guys, I'm starting to plan my Dark/Fire Dom and I'm a bit unsure about which powers I can take or skip, can you give me some advice?
