However, your employer will still withhold social security from your paycheck.

Your employer, based in the US, will not need to withhold DR taxes because you will technically still be paid in the US. Your income will not be generated in the DR and is therefore not subject to Dominican tax law.
Actually, I don't think it matters how much time I spend in or out of the US from a tax perspective. I'm liable for all Federal taxes on every penny I earn. The IRS doesn't care that I happen to be residing in a different country.
