Where are the dominion resources going

With the removal of dominion are we finally going to get a dedicated 3's team to balance the map/maybe get a ranked solo que or is TT going to continue to be left alone?

Lol wut? There were no resources spent on Dominion. I expect they cannibalized some of the ancient rusting server hardware that used to run Normals, and that's been the machinery powering Dominion. They probably just took it down because they wanted to recycle them for a tax return. As for network resources, that's a drop of a homeopathic remedy in the ocean that is Summoner's Rift connections.

What resources? Bug fixes and server maintenance were likely the entirety of Dominion's upkeep. Balance updates were already shared with TT/ARAM, and ManWolfAxeBoss, the guy who was in charge of alternate maps, is working on SR balance now. Not to mention there hasn't been a Dominion-specific balance update at all in over a year.

If it didn't take up any resources, then why remove it? Either it took up resources and thus they should have more resources, or it didn't take up resources and thus they would have no reason for removing it.

Resources in the form of bug fixes and server upkeep, yes. OP's specifically talking about balance updates and new features, neither of which Dominion was receiving. It's possible to convert resources into the desired form, but that requires hiring/training people purely for alternate maps. Considering the only mention of TT in the Dominion retirement announcement was "it's doing okay for now," it doesn't seem like Riot's exactly enthusiastic about spending resources there.

ressources? they ignored the map like forever...maybe they can use the intern they had watching the dom-server now have on some redecorations for the office or just making coffee.

and the way they "balance" SR i´m rather happy if they just don´t touch TT.
