Ghost and Flash are very overused and overrated in Dominion. They aren't actually that great and should only be situational. Ghost for when you're using someone like Singed, and Flash if you're using an assassin type character. You can Flash out of a sticky situation and then jump back in when your cooldowns are off.

Ignite, Barrier and Revive are what you should be using most the time.

Also I strongly recommend starting with one of the Prospector items. They provide very good stats early game and are very cost efficient.
