I have a HEPA filter in my office, which doesn't help at all.
My dust mite allergy is out of control despite the usual measures
(plastic-encased bedding, hot water sheet/duvet washing, vinyl floors
instead of carpet, etc).
Wondering if I need to put a filter over my central AC vents in each room
and whether another type of air filter might really work.

Well you can try 3M Filtrete filters for the air intakes if that is viable
(some of them are better than HEPA literally).
The only thing that really works for me is to leave the Window open whenever
possible. I run the AC with the window closed except when I am in the room.

Nikki,
A few ideas:
1) Have you considered getting your ducts cleaned? I've had tremendous
allergic issues in my past two homes prior to getting a thorough cleaning of
the duct work. This involves high pressure vacuuming of all the junk that
builds up in your ducts, as well as the cleaning of your air
conditioning/heating equipment.
We use Filtrete 1250 filters and feel that helps. You can also get vent
filters, which probably help, but I wouldn't bother prior to having the
ductwork cleaned.
2) Ionic Breeze was ripped by Consumer Reports -- I'd go online to their
site and read their report. Also, these ionizer devices tend to generate
some ozone, which can be irritating if you have any asthmatic symptoms.
