Well, "Flying way up in the air and doing nothing" would definitely be a "no-no."
You have a whole secondary full of damage, and seven more powers in the primary.
No, confused targets will not become targets for the Healing Nictus to leech off of, they are still flagged as allies to Rommy.

No. Confusion does NOT make them friendly pets. Each confused enemy simply reverses what they see (and target) as friend/enemy. To all non confused mobs, the confused ones are still friends (despite being attacked by it.)|

The power the healing nictus uses is a PBAoE (with a rather large radius); First it hits as many enemies as the power allows with a debuff, then heals as many friends as it can around it (not sure what the target cap is for either part). The heal is scaled to the number of targets that got hit with the debuff. To the nictus, any enemy you confuse is still friendly, it will not hit them with the debuff.
Even if you managed to stack enough confuse on the healing nictus to actually get it confused for a time, the wost that would happen is the nictus seeing the traitors/romulus/5thColumn/other nictus as enemies. debuffing THEM, and then healing the players.

Indeed, you'd still have entangle, strangler, roots and vines from your primary for damage and control. Every secondary for dominators has damage you could be doing, and controllers have useful buffs/debuffs that should be used...|

(fly trap is iffy, you cant guarantee it'll contribute much to the fight. Most teams might not notice the exta healing the flytrap is providing rommy, but it could be the "one pet too many" tipping point on lower DPS teams. I generally dismiss it at the start of fighting rommy as a courtesy.)

Thanks for the explanation.
You guys really took that "flying up in the air seriously"? Dam internet. 
I actually appreciate being required to adjust my playstyle for certain opponents. Just wanted to know how much I need to do that for Rommy. Thanks!
