Any ATOs not worth it?

The damage from Energy Font/Fiery Orb is a fraction of what you get from any other %dmg proc.

I'm currently playing a fire/martial Dom, and wanting to see about using the fiery orb in her hold power, so it can occasionally proc a pet. I plan on being in melee and perma dom for protection (and glorious Stuns from FIre/) but would other procs/slots be more valuable then the orb?

If you have 2 extra throw away slots for some other control that would take them I'll rarely slot 3 of that set with the pet for the hp buff.  That pet dies nearly as soon as it gets summoned.  For holds on control I like to slot 4 Basilisk to pick up that recharge.

 

On doms your slots are much more important to make efficient choices with since you're chasing perma.

Where are you slotting the Ascendancy of the Dominator +dmg proc? That's much more valuable than Fiery Orb. Char, Fire Cages or Flashfire are the best choices. If you're just looking for proc damage from your ST hold, almost any of the Hold set %dmg procs would be a better choice (Unbreakable Constraint is the best, but can't be slotted until lvl 50).

Blaster T1 and T2 attacks can always be used whilst mezzed.
Sticking the Blaster Defiant Barrage ATO proc into one of those attacks means that that ATO can also be used when mezzed.

So whenever you get mezzed you activate the T1/T2 attack; which triggers the ATO proc; which causes you to no longer be mezzed.

It's not quite mez protection; but it can help tide many Blasters over until they hit 50 and get access to Clarion Destiny.

I'm sorry my reading comprehension activated much later after my comment.
