Need advice for PvE fire/fire/fire build

This will be my first dom. I'm getting all kinds of conflicting advice about how to play it so I'm just gonna keep this request simple.

I can choose between two builds. One has high dps and lots of procs, but no defense. Some people claim doms need no defense since they always have the mobs controlled, others say otherwise. The other build has s/l capped but lower dps. Which one is more ideal in today's metagame?

Both builds have the full AoE bit with Fireball, Bonfire, and Rain of Fire. Please share your advice and your fire/fire/fire Mids' files!

If influence is no object then do them both. Each character can have up to 3 builds so build them both.

In situations where you need the survivability (like soloing) switch to that build.

In situations where massive control and DPS are needed (like teaming) switch to that build.

This is not true for all types of Doms, my first toon was a fire/fire/fire Dom and I had a had a heck of a time because of how the controls work on a /fire. As a F3, your primary means of mitigating incoming damage is by debuffing enemy HP quickly... next to the fire blaster, imho an F3 is the next best at doing it. MK makes a good point, even if INF is a issue, multiple builds is the best route for this particular power set/AT combo. Build your defense build first and then save up for the obnoxious DPS build with no defenses. That's exactly what I ended up doing with my F3 Dom in the long run.

Hope that helps.
