First draft of the domain and subdomains.
Suffering
You wish to bring suffering and misery to other creatures in any way you can.
Sadistic Touch: You may make a melee touch attack against an opponent to cause pain throughout their body. A creature touched by you must make a Fortitude save (DC = 10 + ½ your cleric level + your wisdom modifier) or suffer a -2 penalty to all attack rolls, skill checks, damage rolls, saving throws, and AC for a number of rounds equal to your cleric level. You receive a +1 bonus to all the same things as you take joy in their suffering. You may use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your wisdom modifier.
Aura of Misery: At 8th level you may emit a 30ft aura that causes those around you to suffer from despair and misery. A Will save (DC = 10 + ½ your cleric level + your wisdom modifier) will negate the effect. Those that fail a sickened and suffer a -4 penalty to further will saves while they are within the aura. If a creature leaves and reenters the area that has failed the save still suffers from the effect with no further save. Creatures that leave and reenter the area that passed the save must make another save to avoid the effects. You may use this ability once a 8th level and one additional time per day for every 4 levels after.
Domain Spells: 1st: Bane, 2nd: Crushing Despair, 3rd: Contagion, 4th: Enervation, 5th: Symbol of Pain, 6th: Harm, 7th: Eyebite, 8th Prediction of Failure**, 9th: Horrid Wilting.
Disease
The following power replaces the Sadistic Touch power of the Suffering domain.
Plague Carrier: Choose any one non-magical disease. You are immune to this disease. Furthermore, you carry this disease. Others cannot catch your disease as you are not contagious. You may make a melee touch attack against a creature to inflict them with your disease. They may make a Fortitude save (DC = 10 + ½ your cleric level + your wisdom modifier, or the disease’s actual save, whichever is higher) to resist the disease. If the save is failed then the person immediately suffers the effects of the disease with no incubation time even if the disease normally has one. If the disease is normally ingested then you may touch food to cause it to carry the disease. Any creature eating the food must make the same save as above, but the incubation period is normal for the disease. You may infect 1 lb. of food or drink per cleric level. Any save or check to cure the disease requires the same save. This person is now a carrier of the disease and may spread it normally. Any person receiving the disease from the carrier uses the normal saves of the disease and the normal incubation time. You may use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your wisdom modifier.
Replacement Domain Spells: 4th: Plague Carrier**, 6th: Epidemic**
Pain
The following power replaces the Aura of Misery power of the Suffering domain.
Pleasure from Pain: You gain pleasure from pain. At 8th level you are more resistant to injury and gain a damage reduction of 1/- which increases by 1 for every 4 levels beyond 8th. At 20th level you are immune to pain effects.
Replacement Domain Spells: 3rd: Excruciating Deformation**, 4th: Howling Agony**, 9th: Transmute Blood to Acid**
