Hold a straight edge (ruler, etc..) against the stanchion of the fork. If there is a gap anywhere between the straight edge and the stanchion the fork is bent. You can get a new crown and stanchions but they are expensive and you might be better off buying a new fork. You should definately check with you local bike shop.

HAHAHAA. Same thing happened to me with the same exact fork. You bent them...At least thats what happened with mine. I took it apart, straightened it, and put it back in and its working again.

Nah, but thats probably just a scratch causing the seals to leak. Mine did this after half a race season, and about 20 hours of freeriding. (not hard freeriding either)
I would get a second opinion though.

No one in their right mind would let you trade a domain for a 66 or totem haha. Then again, when I snapped my stance, they traded it in for a travis
