We are not Evil, Quite the opposite, Very misunderstood it seems. We seek only peace by any means necessary. Peace means the safety of our Great link. Some aspects of our organization might be more Warlike than others, The Jem'hadar for instance. But on a different side of the coin The Kareema are peaceful traders that believe in a fair deal. The Vorta are frail administrators and bureaucrats who only seek to worship the Founders. The Dosi Are a bit aggressive but not warlike, just easily angered. That is the complexity of The Dominion. We aren't technically the bad guys. You guys should read some of the background available in multiple areas before assuming we are like the Borg. Just essentially faceless Bad guys thrown in for color. One Good example of this, The First act of agression during the war was by Starfleet. Mining the wormhole that prevented the Dominion from reinforcing its alpha quadrant allies, And section 31 developed a wasting disease that attacked the founders years before the war started. Yes We consider war to be unpleasant. Yes we seek to avoid it. No we seem to always get dragged into it. Order from Chaos is our motto and we are not afraid of War.
Edit: the only ships seen in the series are the Jem'hadar, and kareema ships. They really didn't show the day to day ships in the series very well. But they did have miners/shuttles/defense systems.
