I'm still working on other team ideas to see if there's a way around the Dooku/Daka/RG combo, but for now it looks kinda bleak.
The two ways around I've found are a Rebel team with Han. As long as he gets his taunt off then their stuns don't matter much.
The other way is a Poggle and managing attacks to make sure that none of his characters get below 50%. With offense up you can reliably use IG-86 and IG-88 to one-shot-kill Dooku/Daka if they're ~65-51%. GS can also manage it on occasion if he has offense up and calls Poggle on an assist (GS gets a nice damage bump). You spread damage and prevent the trigger. I usually still focus Daka first then go after the Rey/Leia/GS DPS toons. If I can knock a single DPS toon out I then just have to focus on RG and finish Dooku last.
Poggle is key as lead over either HK or IG-88 (who I usually use). This is because the base attacks can bring provide more consistent damage so you can prevent accidently doing too much damage by critting when you're trying to set up a >50% kill shot.
Unfortunately I don't feel like that Poggle team is effective enough on defense but I may be wrong about it. Seems OK against Dooku teams. The speed Jedi were the hard counter to droids and I barely see anyone running them with so many Dookus populating the servers.
