You've a great team!!!
Why would you change dooku? His counter with DN is just perfect.
Also, does SA is better than EP in this team. I'm runnig DN (L), ST, Dooku, EP, Zylo and usually Zylo and Dooku can save the day against the top teams.

Well as far as the change I am always testing things. I know this works so I want to see if r2 can control the fight more and make the squad better. If it doesn't then I really haven't lost anything because r2 is still a useful character. I've never been a meta user... The way I've always managed to do well is to think around the box and always adapt and change... Constantly trying to improve in even non conventional ways. R2 is not conventional is a DN squad but what it would do is "potentially" control the battle more than dooku does. I love the DN+dooku fun... But I am very fluid with my squads.

Yes. I like SA more than ep. EP was the weak spot in my team. He always died. Even when I tried him instead of dooku in my current set up. I love EP but he ticked off everyone (and their A.I.) and so he seems to be targeted constantly. And a dead emperor does no damage. SA is tankier, hits hard, and adds TM to my sith. And she is faster. And with stealth much harder to kill.

All g11. All except dooku with huge protection and health pools. Rex squads are easy. It holds well on defense. I wake up in the top 10. Can take 1st pretty much at will. And is a ton of fun to play! And I am still the only DN lead that is constant in the top 20. Everything else is rex or zaul.

The change I am contemplating is actually r2 replacing dooku. DN, GK, SiTrooper, SA, and r2. Thoughts?

It would be interesting to try swapping out SiTrooper with R2 instead. I know you would be giving up ALOT of tankiness but you would still have cleanse/auto-taunt from kenobi and R2 with his quasi-taunt to force enemies to target Dooku on offense would be interesting. Feel like it would be worth testing out to see how it goes and I think I'm gonna start building up my squad in that direction as well.

That is something I pondered as well... On defense though r2 would only target GK... So on defense not as strong but on offense would be hilarious!

What star level do you have to have SiT at to be viable? My current squad is:

4* G10 Nihlus
7* G11 Savage
7* G10 Dooku
7* G10 Palpy
7* G10 Sidious

I'm thinking of replacing Sidious with Sith Trooper when I get him geared up, but he will likely only be 4* or 5* when that happens (currently G8). Is 5* high enough to run with this team?

Secondary question: zeta Savage or Nihlus lead first? I'm thinking Savage, since his cleanse and debuff removal will likely be more valuable right now than an extra 50% health steal. Thoughts?

Yes 5* is viable with that team I run him at 5 just make sure he is g10-11

If your going to stay sith and commit a zeta either SO or DN lead. SO for his cleanse

SiTrooper's gear level means much more than his star level. I started using him at 3* g9 (g10 is better. g11 is beast). His gear level and mods are much more important.

A cleanse is invaluable. However you don't have to zeta savage for him to cleanse. He will cleanse​ anyway without zeta. With the recent change in meta with more rex/Chaze/GK being seen I have changed my stance on DN lead/unique zeta and personally think the leader zeta has increased in value and is better than the unique.

Is DN lead viable now with the current meta ? I am still running zaul but cant beat the top rex/chaze teams in my shard

Need more info on the issues you are having. I've been running DN for a while now and feast on rex leads. Granted I've had to change my tactics some. I save DN's drain force for more opportune moments. It's more of a patience game and keeping the primary target cleared of tenacity up and locked down till you can wear them down. I had some issues when I first started facing them... But I had to learn not to try and rush ever ability and be more patient facing them.

I run:

DN
SiT
SA
Dooku
GK
