I don't have him yet, but any first impressions of armies built around Dooku?

Running Dooku and Grievous together?

They seem like a great pair since its fairly difficult to fill up an 800 point CIS list.

Is it? Grievous, 6x B1, 2x Droideka, plus the obvious upgrades is a very easy 800 points.

It's also very easy to sub Dooku for Grievous in that list (just drop some extra B1s).

you don't want to waste points on extra b1s, and Droiekas are pretty mediocre. double commander CIS is pretty good

I'm not saying double commander CIS is bad, but implying that it's difficult to not do that is ridiculous.

The two lists CIS lists in the top 5 at Warfaire Weekend both had extra B1s on all their corps units. You're not wasting all that many points either, so doing as he suggested makes sense if a double commander list isn't the goal.

that could be because it was literally necessary to build an 800 point list. Also, Dooku wasn't out, so it isn't good tournament to look at for this argument

True. However, I do feel that extra B1s are more valuable than other extra troopers. B1s die in droves, and an extra trooper is an extra wound the unit can take before you lose the activation, and a B1 is the most defensively efficient trooper in the game, in terms of effective wounds per cost. And you can take 6 of them for the cost of 3 Snowtroopers. Which is not to say that you should take them, but I don't feel that it is as inefficient of a way to spend one's points.
