I know it's Latin and I'm guessing it means something like "Dominant Victim." Someone I don't get along with told me his new name is Victus Dominus.

It actually means "the conquered master", "the conquered lord".
My guess is that your friend meant to call himself "Victor Dominus", "the conquering Lord". Victor means Conqueror. But victus used together with dominus means conquered, defeated.
There is a noun "victus", which means livelihood, nourishment, means of living, victuals, food. But I'm sure your friend had no intention of calling himself "The Food Lord" or the Lord of food, or "The Livelihood Lord". Or would he...? Not knowing him, I think that "victus" is surely used like an adjective - the perfect passive participle form of vincere (conquer). Vinco - vici - victum - vincere. Like in the famous saying "Vae victis", woe to the conquered.
