Very quick question, are dorian and blues scales the same thing?

no, these blues scale is a pentatonic scale with an extra note (which makes it have six notes). the dorian mode, is just that, a mode, so it has seven notes

its actually really cool to combine the two to make a hybrid scale

you are right in that they aren't major or minor, but they aren't powerchords. like shane said, they are sus2 chords.

when you keep adding a fifth, you get more and more notes. you start with the 1, then you of course add the 5, then the 5th of 5th is the same thing as the 2. so you have the 1, 2, and 5, which is a sus2
