I would say a call is a better move with the hopes of getting a crap flop like above, or hitting a set.
My purpose in the reraise is in fact to find out if I'm dominated, at a pretty reasonable cost. The only dominating hand that doesn't reraise me back is probably JJ. So I know with a raggy flop there is only one likely hand that may be ahead of me, while there are lots of likely hands that are now far behind (AK, AQs, KQs, etc).

You have to decide if you are going to play TT like its a big hand or like its a baby pair (no set no bet). Actually I hate the middle pairs for this reason. I find them to be very tricky hands; either I play them too weak or too strong, but its certainly better to play them too strong at first and get out of the way once its clear that you are beat, because usually you are winning with these hands.
