Sure, when creating the output feature type, go to the format parameters tab and enter the name into the feature class creation parameters:
If the feature dataset does not already exist, it will be created for you.

Hi
Interesting. As your post is fairly old, I wonder if it needs an update.
On my side, in FME 2021 and 2023, when I open the properties of a writer feature class, the window which opens is called Feature Type and not Feature Type Properties. In addition, this window doesn’t have the same thumbnails and I can’t find the Feature Dataset setting.
Here’s a screenshot of FME 2023.

hi
As for FME 2023, the feature dataset setting has been merged with feature class:
Feature Type Name
The Feature Dataset name can be specified as part of the Feature Type name with the following syntax.
<Feature Dataset>/<Feature Class>
