If you're able to run a successful alliance you'll likely know how to adapt. And this adapt or die scenario will certainly root out the bad alliances.

No, why would it be? However, you might want to consider a few things, first of all; I now have one of those annoying sigs. second; you should probably move on to some more interesting things than reading this sig.

It won't be the death, it'll actually be the birth of many MANY more alliance's.
you'll see the major alliance's pull back on their sov some, and focus on a smaller area. That will leave a void that new corps/alliance's can fill.
So hopefully, it'll see a lot more alliance's in game, and a few thousand people moving from high sec to 0.0

No. One the one hand the volume of space controlled by most of the powerblocks will shrink, there's no change being mooted that will let a small organisation resist a large one if the large one wants the small one dead. Nor is any such change really possible IMO.
What may happen is that there will be a lot more previously unused space open to smaller alliances. These will have to play nice to their big neighbours, though. Most of the big powerblocks in position are there because they have large numbers of people willing and able to endure horrifically expensive wars of attrition for weeks on end. At the end of the day that, not moongoo, is the fundamental bedrock of power in 0.0. If you cant deal with a 200 strong fleet now, then not being able to deal with a 200 strong fleet after Dominion will still mean you'll get your POS burned to the ground.
Will Dominion see more small alliances in 0.0? Almost certainly
Will it automatically kill the big powerblocks? In your dreams.

Just means the pets will get space now so no the powerbloc's wont get broken up.

The only way the big alliances could fail horribly is if they overstretch themselves, trying to make the biggest blob on the sov map to satisfy their egos, and get picked away at by hundreds, if not thousands, of smaller alliances.
But, If they take their time and don't get greedy, which is highly unlikely, they will remain at the top.

i think its not gunna kill them off but force them to be smaller cuz ccp seems to be getting into the game of catering to the cry babies that don't wanna really work for their space. so they put those dumb flags or w.e. around the gate's and the lil guys come around and blow em up making holing large swavs of area not possible thats what i think is gunna happen.

This pretty much. You are still going to need lots of active dedicated members with cap ship skills to carve out a slice of nullsec. Its just that now there will be stuff for smaller gangs to kill to effect sov and moar targets to kill overall with the infrastructure improvements unlike the one dimensional 'must spam hundreds of capital ships to change sov/kill moon mines' system from before.

Most of 0.0 is empty. No POS, no ratters, no miners, just plain empty.

Actually the thing that really caught my attention was the idea of Treaties.
Originally I'd heard the term somewhere and dismissed it as an inter-alliance thing, but in the keynote it was made clear that they're talking about 0.0 noobs being set blue for certain systems. In effect the alliances will be given a tool that allows them to dictate where their renters go and where they do not go (or at least where they can get shot down for overstepping the mark)
As an idea it has some promise. Its a way for alliances to control where some of their newer corps operate, and under what terms, and from the Emp POV it may be a way for corps to break into 0.0 without requiring free reign to scoot all over the place.
I'll be watching this one, it looks interesting.

I don't think it is going to kill the major power bloc's, however it is going to separate those alliances/coalitions that have a high degree of participation from those whose membership tends to only log on when something "interesting" is about to happen.
Those that have a lot of players that spend a high portion of their time playing other games will begin to dwindle financially compared to those that have a more EVE-centric population. Not necessarily a bad thing, as it rewards your more invested players... not to mention putting more of an emphasis on the grass roots level of industry/player activity.
This may also do nice things for PVP, as the more lucrative area's will also have the most target rich environments.
It should be interesting.

Not really.
That will hold true for the first release of the sov changes. Now whilst ccp promises the complete sov changes will roll with Dominion that doesn't mean it will be the final release. This one will bring in all the core elements of the new sov mechanics so that current alliance will have a chance to adapt and keep a hold of at least a decent portion of thier former empire.
I mean ccp does want to keep all those tens of thousands of alliance poster boys they can use in a flashy presentation about how cool eve is and you should try it! Now once everyone is all comfy with the core mechanics then the moar competative elements that puts an even greater stress on having lots of active daily members tooling about the territory will start to appear in later expansions. This will probably happen around the time they get infiniband up and running so nullsec doesn't die a horrible node death from all the players online and active at once.
