Not a Dom expert, but thought I'd weight in a bit here. I think you should try to use IOs for the recharge bonuses, since you'd want those when exemplared, too. Relying on Incarnate content to get perma-dom doesn't help you running lower-level content if you ever do.
This will allow you to more freely pick from the Alpha abilities. However, I would not go with Nerve. The Hold duration really only helps with two of your powers, where the others would help with everything. Cardiac might be a good choice if you find yourself with Endurance issues, Spiritual if you'd like even more recharge. Musculature would definitely help with damage if you needed that, buffing your immobs and ToHit debuffs as well. Vigor might be an interesting choice, as well, helping you with Acc, Heals, and Healing, but also buffing your fears and confuse powers as well.

If you are on the fence between nerve and musculature, go with Intuition Radial.
It boosts dmg and holds plus has some side effects dark can use (to hit debuffs, range)
That Alpha seems to have been designed for doms that do not need/want extra recharge or endurance and want to play to the strength of the AT (damage and holds), yet it is almost never mentioned in dom conversations for some reason that escapes me.

Hmmm...an interesting choice. Would help with Range, too, which would help with all of the cones in this combo.

Yeah Intuition seems like a good choice.
In general I'm not a huge fan of Nerve if you're already planning to IO the character. Most IO builds pick up quite a few accuracy buffs by accident so it tends not to be a major concern.
On the subject of Spiritual and Perma-Dom. The Recharge in Spiritual will not affect the recharge of Domination. It will affect Hasten which may make it easier for you to get Perma-Dom but it will not affect Domination directly.
Hey all,
I've recently hit 50 on my dom and have absolutely 0 experience with incarnate stuff. I ran the mender arc and unlocked my alpha slot but don't know which I should be building for...
Which alpha should I be looking at first? I'd like to make the character a perma-dom... Does the recharge in Spiritual overtake the benefit of the damage in musculature (or hold duration in Nerve for that matter) in this case? Or should I be looking primarily at IO sets for the recharge to get permadom and use musculature or nerve for what I cannot get out of the IOs?
