Not only that, but in a paladin/drk comp, both tanks can help each other out with tank busters (Cover, Blackest Night, Intervention, Passage of Arms). Seems pretty strong without any tank stance.

Doubt dps tanking is going to be anywhere near viable in SB. Heck Shirk might be needed so that undergeared tanks can hold hate after a tank swap even if the dps and healers are using their enmity tools.

Which is why we have Shirk with the same icon now.

Ninja still has Shadewalker and Smokebomb.

I feel like if Blackest Night had a longer CD and didn't use MP we'd be fine. We could then get a full Blood Gauge, DA Bloodspiller, Blackest Night, DA Bloodspiller, DA Bloodspiller for a pretty big burst. I like where Dark Knight is going, I just think Blackest Night needs to lose the MP Cost as its barely a gain after repeated uses now, and our damage needs a Potency Boost to catch up to Paladins.
