We have some cards recently reprinted (tribal flames, legacy weapon, coalition victory, quirion dryad) which work well with domain style decks. Also, there is a 5 colour precon coming. Could these be signals for domain or domain like mechanics coming back?
I could believe it. Don't forget Tromp the Domains and to a lesser extent, Big Fat Sliver. Perhaps they purposely timed it so that the duals would leave standard just as a domain theme shows up...
If it wasn't for coalition victory, i wouldn't think so. quirion dryad i would think is mostly just for excitement and trying to sell the set, legacy weapon is kinda the same deal, showing off the legends in the set, and tribal flames could have just been part of them bringing back old mechanics. However, coalition victory just doesn't fit to me. To me it seems to show me that they are going to try and print something for all the johnnies out there to try to build around. As far as actual domain coming back, i'm not sure. I think that it may just be the fact that the elemental "tribe" is supposed to stretch accross all 5 colors, and they might be making some way to make an elemental deck all 5 colors. Something like:
Mana Producing Elemental 1G
Creature -- Elemental
T: Add one mana of any color of an elemental you control to your mana pool.

Domain seems a little too linear and "Wizards made my deck for me" for R&D these days. It's possible, but I think if it were to come back in force, it would be some new take on it which I can't even think of a possibility for. Teramorphic Expanse is a pretty nice clue to.
If I had to guess as to when it would make a comeback, I'd guess Doughnut, or the next block after. I don't think that Domain + Shocklands is a particularly healthy recipe for the Standard environment, particularly since I think Wizards would push the power level a little. It seems a little out of flavour with the speculation that we have on Jelly/Doughnut though, so my guess is next block.

Than and then are very different words.
"I'm going to have more than Natalie Portman" is quite different from "I'm going to have more, then Natalie Portman".
I suspect most of the domain style cards that were reprinted in 10th were included to play nice with Ravnica's multi-color goodness for the next few months until RAV block rotates out.
Domain wants a significant amount of multi-color support in order to be played. Its very unlikely that we'll see another multi- block so soon after RAV.
I wouldn't expect it now, although it would be neat if they did it and were able to print Barry's Land. I always thought that was one of the neatest ideas they've mentioned and never printed.

Lorwyn is Standard Constructed legal the second Ravnica block leaves.
Barry's Land
Basic Land T: Add 1 to your mana pool.
Basically (no pun intended) a sixth basic land type of no colour. Although, to work these days, I think it would need a land type.
Edit: Silly me. I dunno why I was thinking that Lorwyn and Rav would be in standard together. Guess there's a fair chance of seeing it earlier, if at all, then.

To work ever it would need a land type, because domain cards specify land type. The only difference is how land types work now. I imagine that the concept was too difficult to convey in Invasion, but it would be easier now for this reason.
Interestingly, Barry's Land relies on the rules being changed in a way that wasn't (and still isn't, though to a lesser extent) obvious on the cards. I guess what they might do is put on Domain cards "(The basic land types are Forest, Island, Mountain, Plains, Swamp, and [Barry's Land])" but that seems awfully clunky. Then again, with their Tips and Tricks cards they can easily explain that Barry's Land is a basic land type and not just a basic land with a type.
I wouldn't be surpised to see some Domain Cards in Lorwyn, at all. I think it fits nicely with the Evoke Mechanic we've seen on the Elementals thus far. It's sortof the other side of the pie.

I'm happy to say yes. Make my draco useful again! I hope they reprint him. Another thing that seems to point to it happening: Bling Dragons

With all, put the same thing except with / in front of what type of tags they are (like [/card]) to close them.

I still doubt that they will print domain, but if they do, hopefully they can print some really powerful cards to make it a possible archetype in the new extended (extended is rotating with lorwyn, right?) with the rav lands, and not much being left in cept for dredge and affinity, it would be neat to have another decent archetype.

Meh, idk. I'm not sure that all of that can say that domain is coming back. Most of the cards you site plus others could just as well make an agruement for another multicolor block coming into the near future, but i highly doubt that.

Don't forget Joiner Adept either.
What is Barry's Land? "Barry's Land comes into play as the basic land of your choice."?

I'm pretty sure it rotates with Rock/Paper/Scissors.
Ah, ok....well, then, scratch that comment...
