Gangplank will suck on pirate themed map?

The pirate themed map will just be ARAM map with different look. You get very little CS in ARAM. New Gangplank needs CS to upgrade his ultimate. Gangplank on pirate map is stuck with non-upgraded ultimate.

yeah GP's ult is getting a massive nerf for Dominion and ARAM

It happens. Azir's Sun Disc passive is literally unusable in Dominion. Various other stacking mechanics are also weaker (Veigar, Nasus, Sion). Riot could address Gangplank's ult upgrades via map-specific buffs (like Thresh passive not being purely detrimental in Dominion anymore), but that would require Riot to actually care about alternate maps.

how come Thresh's passive gets a little help in Dominion, but they leave Azir completely in the dust? O.o

Because CDR items are much easier to acquire in Dominion from what I remember, meaning he gets extra use from the CDR --> AS passive.

Azir still has the CDR->AS passive. Dominion meta also favors itemizing CDR much more than in SR. Thresh, on the other hand, had the only passive in the entire game that hurt more than it helped. The lack of innate armor growth combined with the low number of souls meant Thresh typically had abysmally low armor. Riot bumped up the soul gain so that Thresh would have more reasonable stats.

Check PBE. They removed it. Azir literally has no passive on Dominion.

It would be cool if they gave him something small, like making points he neutralizes (or neutral points he starts to channel on) fire on the enemy for a short while even before it's capped.

You know as well as I do that no one on the PBE tests Dominion stuff. Plus, rickless already stated he was trying some highly experimental changes. It's not surprising he'd try to nail down balance changes for SR before doing stuff for Dom. We can bug Riot about Azir having no passive once the mini-rework/update becomes more finalized.

Neutral points firing on the enemy might end up causing clarity issues. Giving Azir an offensive Garrison-like effect when his channel on an enemy point is interrupted might be better.

If it summoned a sun disc of sorts above the neutral point, I doubt the clarity would be a problem, but as you said, let's have him settle a bit, then all bitch to Riot at the same time so they actually pay attention for once.
