Hey guys, I wouldn't share this otherwise, but I currently have no use for favor nor prestige since I've bought almost everything (although still missing head enchant from Eldritch faction). Here are the 4 common builds I use:
This is my #1 build. http://rift.zam.com/en/stc.html?t=0z....exoNkqqxk.V0c
I bought the greater essence that lets me do additional spell dmg with dots after casting Draining Bolt. This is a great build. Has survivability and dps. When opportunity procs, use lightning strike. Other than that, you're casting dots most of the time. Radiate Death helps with zergs. Defile is great compared to what it used to be in 1.2. The only weakness is no healing debuff, but the aoe dps gives clerics trouble when healing.
This is my dominator build, when the other team has an excess of clerics/healers: http://rift.zam.com/en/stc.html?t=0z...Vubkogck.xxo0z
Nyx's Manipulation allows me to drain and check Cleric and Chloro healers. Transference allows me to check Bard healers. The rest of the time, I use Incompetence and Traitorous Influence on Clerics. This is a fun build but 0 survivability and 0 dps. Also, you can substitute the warlock tree for any other tree that you might find useful. You won't see it's effectiveness in the end of the game stats, since they don't show mana drained, etc. I've used pyro and elementalist with this and they're not bad either as the third tree (replaces lock in build you see now).
This is one of my favorite pvp builds (doesn't use archmage). It's meant for flag running / survivability (great for running the WF stone). Also amazing for dueling.: http://rift.zam.com/en/stc.html?t=0z...RsVubko.xdh0Vo
This build can substitute the Necro tree for the Dom. tree if you want even more survivability. But you'll lose out on CC. Also you can put more points in Lock and less points in Dom if you want Neddra's Essence. This is the best pvp mage-tank spec out there. It makes you extremely hard to kill. If you decide to go with Necro rather than Dom, consumption and soul purge are pretty useful. This build works well only if you have a lot of valor and don't need the dmg mitigation that the archmage tree gives you.
This is the standard pyro build: http://rift.zam.com/en/stc.html?t=0z...M0c.efueuusuts
This used to be an amazing build pre 1.3. Pyro nerfs (especially the inferno off GCD), really screwed it over. Against a decent Cleric, you won't be able to take anyone down. My best advice is to use it on the weaker players first (kill them first, then go with the Clerics, since your friends will help you take him/her down at the very end). Also, you can take 1 point off overload and get Nenvin's Lament for guaranteed Cinder Burst or Fulminate Crits. Still a bad *** build, but not what it used to be, but you can still get some great KBs by the end of the match if you have a pocket healer and good dps gear.
Most of my builds require a pocket healer due to 0 survivability. You should be using blood thirsty 100% of the time if you want to heal yourself quickly after landing a KB. Also, remember, that killing pet's (usually takes 1-2 nukes), will proc Blood Thirsty.
Feel free to critique the builds. They're not perfect, but I'm always looking for new PVP builds.
Thx for playing,

P.S., Trion, pls fix the pvp queue times. They're way too long at times.
