The Master of the Dark Dimension is in need of more power to siphon from the Contest to make his mark. The proposed buff is really meant to update his damage for more relevant content, while also adding a few additional factors into his defensive capabilities. With this, Dormammu is now threatening as an attacker while also maintaining his mainstay qualities in defense. He is also incinerate immune now to add to his numerous utilities. The major changes or tune-ups to his kit are bolded. Feel free to leave any critiques on the tuning or flow of this proposition.
Based on a 5/65 6 Star Champion
Passive:

->Gain 25 Dark Energy whenever a buff on the opponent expires. Gain double the charges if the buff is nullified.
->When reaching 100 Dark Energy, Dormammu gains an Imbued Passive that enhances his next attack with an effect. As a Defender, Imbued Effects are triggered on activation of the attack.

Comments
For me the biggest issue with Dormammu, aside from the lack of Incinerate immunity is the requirement to land heavies in order to get the other aspects of the kit, and overall damage output, going. Sometimes it's hard to do as the AI just won't cooperate (but then again, why should it?). Something like this would fix it:
When Dormammu charges a Heavy Attack while hitting with a Basic Attack Combo, terrifying visions of the Dark Dimension cause the opponent to be passively Stunned for 0.6 seconds.
This would be a huge boost to his general usability and play style.
