Earth/Earth, no idea what I'm doing

So, I decided to use this double XP weekend to power through the low levels of an AT that I usually can't get off the ground: a Dominator. At level 34 already, I'd say it's working! I figure I should start planning my level 50 build, though, since it's not so far away now. Problem is, I've never gotten a Dominator to 50 before, so I've never built one. I'm not sure I even know what a good Dom build looks like. This is my first draft:

Is this a good start, or should I go back to the drawing board? What have I done right/wrong?

Looks pretty good..looking at it in more detail in a sec

Not what I'd do for that combo (not a bad thing) but it would work fine. Aid other/self are good..better than Hoarefrost I think, and to keep Rocky ALive.
Your acc seems a bit low..but, with all the -def from Earth, thats ok. And Quicksand is awesome.
I wouldnt take tremor myself. Its just too slow, and..crap.
I prefer the ST immobs to aoe..but..depends what you like.
T4 Spirtual will set you at perma Hasten.
I'd put the ato proc in your hold..had an argument with people about that in another thread. Also, the lockdown proc is great in VG.

Here is the build i have been using. It is pretty expensive but very effective. I do like quicksand but i just couldn't fit it in to keep my recharge where i want it and late in game i was not using it much anyways. Tremor isn't very good but i still kept it for the io's and an extra aoe.

Made it to level 43... not bad for one weekend I juuuuuust barely can sometimes recast Domination before it expires now, during Hasten and if I have the base recharge buff and Quick Reflexes from Secondary Mutation. Can't wait to have that full-time. I'm not sure I'll be leveling another Dominator any time soon; I felt soooooo squishy whenever anything not controlled glanced my way until I got the epic shield; but I've enjoyed this one and it's certainly a different experience from most of my characters.

Thanks for the advice. I had a hard time imagining dropping Tremor since it was my only AoE, but now that I have Fissure and soon Ice Storm it's looking way less critical, and will leave way more time to use my other awesome stuff. I had the ATO proc in Fossilize for a while, and now it's in Seismic Smash, and once I reach 50 and Catalyze it I'll probably try it again in both places and see which I like better.

I'll probably be back with more questions, before too long...
