It should be organized by getting two new creatures plus the hybrid between the two
Dinosaurs hybrid dinosaur pack

What pray tell would those species be? They better make a good fusion. For those dino experts who are also Yu-Gi-Oh! players relaying on Fusion Summoning to win duels, your advice is sorely needed.

Ugh... how boring... another diplodocid and another carcharodontosaurid? We have enough already... and if they were going to add more there are better choices. If they're really gonna add two new real dinosaurs to justify adding a hybrid, at least make them something interesting...
Frankly, if they made a hybrid pack, I'd rather it be pure hybrids... lots of potential options to work with already...
I'm not really opposed to further packs including hybrids, as long as they aren't displeasing to the eye or just body parts stitched together (more Spinoraptor or the Indos than Ankylodocus or Stegoceratops).
Having hybrids between two new DLC dino types does seem a bit excessive to consistently do (there's still variety from base game and updates you could use after all), generally one new dinosaur per set would probably be enough to spice up the pool (preferably something with real traits to source from, like Therizinosaurus or Amargasaurus).
You could also go for hybrids developed from hybrids like the Indoraptor, if you really wanted.
Having hybrids spread more evenly across the game might also be interesting, seeing there's no real early game hybrids at all.

If you could make an original hybrid, what would it be? I’m saying this because there won’t be any in Dominion (now that I think about it, it’s poetic justice to have the T-Rex end that nonsense). More importantly, the Ludia hybrids leave a lot to be desired outside an RPG. Your comment on Amarga and Therizino is especially interesting.
There won't be hybrids in Dominion, but it's likely they'll still persist in the games and such for a while to come. I only really mentioned the two dinos due to their traits & popularity, though Amargasaurus does have a few Chaos effect hybrids.
When it comes to making hybrids, it's hard to say what really works, Ankylodocus for example is a pretty good hybrid on paper. But taking rough inspiration from various sources and smoothing it into one concept is how Indos went, which I think is probably the best way going forward, rather than equally combining two dinos and hoping it goes well.
Fundamentally the Indominus was kind of the ultimate generic large theropod, and I feel a few other groups could get similar treatment, namely Sauropods, but a generic Thyreophoran (Stegosaurs/Nodosaurs/Ankylosaurs) could maybe be interesting.
Amargaspinus would be so awesome... a giant, carnivorous sauropod? Too cool! ...sadly, I don't think they can use Chaos Effect hybrids, as awesome as some of them would be (still wanting the Paradeinonychus in JWE)....
They already have something like that in Jurassic World Alive, called the Stegodeus... personally, I think it would make a great addition to JWE. In Alive it's a super-hybrid composed of Stegosaurus mixed with the Nodopatosaurus, a hybrid of Nodosaurus and Apatosaurus... but considering base materials can change between games and the fact that Nodopatosaurus is basically just another Ankylodocus, I'd say they could easily substitute the Nodopatosaurus with Ankylodocus.

Probably better to skip the middle man there, the Sauropod aspects contribute literally nothing to that one specifically. I think a name less relevant to it's components would also make sense if you're going for Indominus equivalents for other groups, maybe as simple as Thyreophorus, Peltophorosaurus or Peltascutra, just something that actually has a meaning.
Presumably the Sauropod aspects contribute to size, which isn't specified in Alive to my knowledge, but Stegodeus could easily be giant... and with a name that translates as "Roof God" how could you possibly want to change it?!
Furthermore, I don't think it would be too smart or cool to change too many things about these pre-existing hybrids... I mean, yes, do what you need to do to include them with as little effort as possible (like change the base genome requirements if you don't have the normal animals), but at the same time unnecessary changes can lead to problems... like how everyone hates the new look of Ankylodocus...

I mean, it's called the Indominus, not the Tyrannodominus, the idea is for it to be it's own thing. True there is the rex part, but it's not the dominant part.
With hybrids you can make it basically any size you want (Stegoceratops for example is bigger than both it's sources), going out of your way to chuck in a random sauropod as a requirement doesn't make much sense, when at most you'd need a couple of genes (Also making Ankylodocus a requirement for anything makes it a DLC for DLC situation).
It seems the Ankylodocus is more a symptom of the general treatment of dinosaurs when creativity "has" to be applied (which means an original decent hybrid concept is probably not going to happen). In any case it's probably better to ignore just about everything Ludia has ever done and do their own work independently, living in the shadow of a mobile game is pretty sad.
Barf.
