From my understanding you would have to set them all to steady burn. Or you will have to take the flasher out and wire them up to where they are all dummy "slave" LEDs.

Sounds about spot-on!

they make a control head (really just a switch box) for the dominator arrow sticks that connects to the factory wiring and controls the internal flasher as well as give you a flash pattern button recessed in it to change the patterns for the arrow and the end flashers as well as blank spots to add extra switches for other uses.

Yeah that would work if he had a TA Dominator and not a regular Dominator. The difference like stated above is his dominator already has a flasher installed in it. So if he just hooked up the TA controller to his dominator without any modification it would not work. He would still have to take out the flasher in the dominator and wire the LEDs to be slave/dummy LEDs for the controller to work.

The dominator I have is a traffic advisor I currently have it on three switches but it looks crappy. So if I purchase the box above all I have to do us connect it to the bar and everything's going to work?

What is the model number on your dominator?

the model number is tad8rb but i switched the blue flasher end to a red one so i guess now it would be tad8rr

The Whelen TADCTL1 would work with your dominator, plug and play so to say.
