Ugg im so torn here, Plant/fire and Plant/dark having hard time deciding lol. Anyone have Input or thought on this i know fire does alot of dmg, but at the same time dark has Lifedrain. Im just so torn.
Well Fiery Assault has access to Embrace of Fire which makes your fire attacks significantly more damaging. On the other hand, Dark Assault has survivability and a significantly better PBAoE whilst also allowing you to make your controls and debuffs more powerful.
I love my Plant/Dark/Ice. A small bonus for /Dark. You can slot the Dominator ATO proc in Midnight Grasp.

Snowzone nailed it...Can you just make both of them? LOL. I made a Plant/Fire/Fire a few years ago and now I'm working on a Plant/Dark/Ice.
While I have no real experience in either, my boyfriend built a Plant/Fire/Fire that I am convinced is the best character in the game. He runs at +4/x8 against everything short of Rularuu (though he does have to take special care against Arachnos and Longbow) and melts through fire farms better than the brute he also made for that specific purpose.

2) "Best" might be a bit much (can't manage AVs/GMs, etc) but in terms of clearing groups of normal enemies I haven't found anything that does a better job yet
Other considerations include: No good place to slot the dominator proc (I have all 6 in Roots, for the ranged defense bonus). On the other hand, Fiery Assault gives you Consume, and I find myself using it for endurance on a very regular basis since you spend so much time casting rain of fire, roots, and fireball, all of which are pretty thirsty on the endurance. Even with Domination on a 68 second timer, I am popping consume and ageless pretty frequently - plant/??/fire is really thirsty. But you could probably get by with just ageless if you pop it every time it's up - I prefer to use Consume when I can because it casts faster and does (some) damage.
Dark assault actually probably has BETTER AoE than fiery assault, though. This because (from what I hear) Engulfing Darkness is a good power, whereas Combustion is not. Engulfing Darkness casts faster than Combustion, and Night Fall casts faster than Fire Breath. However, once you get fire mastery, most of your AoE is gonna be Fire Ball + Rain of Fire, so I don't know how much of a difference the better AoE in dark assault will mean compared to the awesomeness that is Fiery Embrace (+80% damage for 30sec!!)
Like the title say how would a Plant/fire/fire stack up against the plant/dark/fire or vise versa, im new to doms and just trying to decide what i would like to do, both sound excellent.
