Earth/Electric Dominator build.

I was hoping to get some feedback on this Mids build. If you could post your own or a redo it would be much appreciated. This is my first support toon I have leveled to 50 and I want to do it right and be a strong member of any team. So basically I started by giving all my control powers full slots and sets for maximum domination. Then I just tried to divvy up the rest of the slots equally, except for Tactics because I wanted the full Gaussian's Fire-Control set. Then I mostly tried to slot the rest of the powers for endurance reduction. As you can see my endurance is abysmal. I won't survive without the Cardiac alpha. I wanted the build to focus first on control and then on support of the team, which is why I went with the Leadership pool and only took ranged attacks from the secondary. Also, when you click on totals, don't turn on Volcanic Gasses, for some reason it drops the +Recharge stat to -7.5%. I think I did pretty well with my defenses. I tried to build them up as a third priority because for most fights I will just kind of be standing there trying to keep track of baddies and I think for a support toon the stats are pretty high. In a perfect team I wouldn't have to worry about it because the tank is holding most of the aggro, but it doesn't hurt to have defenses built up a small amount. I have mixed feelings about the Psionic Mastery epic pool, but I chose it for stylistic reasons because I can say he uses the quartz in the earth to "focus mental energies." In all honesty I probably will not run World of Confusion very often, and Link Minds is only a 90 second boost to my stats so you probably shouldn't turn it on when looking at totals. I put the +Stealth proc from the Celerity set into Run so that I can turn it on for when I might need to be stealthy. I didn't put Panacea in Health because I might not be able to get one for cheap although I will look for one. The power choices are pretty similar to what I was picking while I was leveling up over the weekend and it is a bit of an overwhelming build. There are a lot more toggles then I thought there would be and I had to open a 4th power tray to hold everything comfortably. I tried to stay away from other super expensive stuff although I did slot Ragnarok in Static Discharge. I didn't use any Dominator sets because I haven't really used any of those archetype specific sets and I'm not sure how hard they are to get. If it helps with your redo, though, and it turns out to be awesome then I'll just have to figure out how to get them. Thanks for any help!

A few points..
You are NOT at perma dom levels of rech. If you are wanting to be a very helpful dom..you do want to shoot for that.
Some of your slotting is....trying to think of a word to not offend you. Not the best.

3 end red in assault for example..overkill. You dont gain enough benefit for that 3rd slot..much better elsewhere.
The 2 LoTG in manu...you DONT have the +7.5 rech.you want that. The +def on that power is not huge, so you dont 'need' to max out the def slotting.
You seem to be going for ranged def..which is fine.
Weave with 3 slots, the 3rd of which is a fire resist? You dont need that..another gambler 7.5 in there.
Using 3 purples is a waste..use 5 for teh rech.
2 slots in charged bolts for a +run speed? Seriously? It will be your most used attack!
3 slots in VS for damage..not worth it. The power itself is not all that..and it sucks to resummon all the time. SKippable.
DONT slot stalag for damage. You want stun duration. Stupefy is great, and has +rech and ranged def.
Quicksand, while great, does NOT need or want 6 slots, one rech is perfectly fine.
WoC is quite handy, and better with the proc..again..3 purps? Slot all 5.
6 slots in EQ? For..aoe def? No need..slot 4 dark watchers for hp, rec and rech. And the -to hit is the best bit about it.
MUCH better of using the full GSFC set in build up, with teh coming PPM changes. Its crap in tactics.
Slotting LM for to hit....no, just..no. At LEAST slot a 7.5 in there.

Sorry to be brief..ran out of time. WIll check back.

Thanks for the feedback! I'm so excited to have my first "support" toon. I will try to make these changes accurately the way you intended and hopefully come up with something great. I would like have permanent domination.... I will post my redo as soon as I get it done. Perhaps someone has a domination build they can post that focuses on perma-dom so I can see more of how that would look. Thanks again! :-)
