So I finally found scans of the latest Empire Magazine and I found some interesting information. According to Colin Trevorrow Indominus has mental issues that developed from loneliness and isolation. He cites , a 2013 documentary centering around the controversy of keeping Killer whales in captivity and how it causes mental and health problems for the whales. Since I've watched the film, I'd say the reason for I. rex causing all this havoc just because she's flat out mentally damaged from how her creators treated her.

As for the possibility that Indominus is trying to take over the raptor pack I think the chances are slim since Trevorrow's is taking inspiration from Blackfish. Captive Killer whales tend to be aggressive towards other species including members of their own, so I doubt I. rex would be wanting a friend. She had a sibling and look what happened to her! I think the raptors turning on the humans could be because they sense the Indominus is dangerous and don't want to risk their lives.

Plus, Colin Trevorrow also said that Owen's relationship with the raptors was similar to those who keep dangerous animals (like big cats, bears, wolves, etc.). Those animals have a tendency to be rather aggressive towards people that aren't their owners.
