Got a 1989 USA Neck Through Warlock here. It came with matching vintage DiMarzio PAFs. Expected it to have a Super Distortion in the bridge.
Here's what I want from a hot bridge humbucker- I want it to hit with a broad, all-at-once battering ram kind of sound. Not a stab, but a bludgeon. I know this means ceramic.
I've used the Super 3 before and I think that's a great candidate, my only concern being that it's a bit of a one trick pony. I can live with that since this is supposed to be my dedicated metal guitar.
I'm curious about the Dominion bridge.
Other suggestions?

Based on what and how your describing what you’re looking for, the Super 3 would be more of a sledgehammer than the Dominion.
It might help if you talked more about what you want that you’re not getting from the Super 3....and/or other pickups you’ve tried.
The Titan sort of comes to mind.

Well the Super 3 is really stunted on the top end. Very compressed=no detail. It's got the power and speed, but it overtakes the guitar's natural tone.
Honestly that's kind of what DiMarzios do in my experience, so I may be barking up the wrong tree.
