Working on this build, I know i'm not quite there yet, any advice would be great!
I'd like to fit teleport in somewhere, since it's my favorite form of travel, though i can't find what power would not be sorely missed if I swapped it.

Okay, looking over your build I noticed several things.

- Disruptor Blast does radial knockback which is superannoying. It would benefit a lot from the KB->KD IO
- You put 4 slots into health and stamina. This is good slotting for other combinations but not for this one - you are a /psi dom, you have Drain Psyche which gives you unlimited endurance with just one enemy in range. Save yourself the slots.
- Speaking of Drain Psyche, it needs accuracy. Turn that 6th slot into an acc, it doesn't need end mod
- Why 2-slot weave and scorpion blast? 1 more slot each and you are capped to s/l

And the one that caught my eye the most
- Domination is permanent with 122% global recharge, without hasten. You are almost there, but not quite. I cannot stress the benefit of getting to that point enough - you will never lose domination because you forgot to hit hasten, and you will never lose it when you go afk. Set on auto and forget.

Overall, a pretty good build.
Here is what I got out of it after a few minutes of tinkering - 125% global recharge, made room for Teleport (though I had to drop the spiderpet), 44% s/l, and I also got your ranged defense to 32% so you only need to eat a small purple to be capped there, too.
