3) if you are udner regen, and you cast DV, do party members get barrier instantly or healer must cast another?

Rawrz answered your question pretty well seems like :) I just wanted to add that the icon for the protective buff that the rest of the party gets looks completely different than the DV icon.

Dark Dance effect swaps between Parry and Evasion depending on if you use Dark Arts
Non-Dark Arts Dark Dance = Parry
Dark Arts Dark Dance = Evasion

Also mentioned before, but if a DRK used Blood Price at the point of breaking the pull, should avoid proceeding for a holy spam or massive stun, since thats a waste for them...
But if you did a holy spam and they activated Blood Price during that time... well thats their problem.

Nice sheet.This sheet also reflects how bland the dark knights skill are.They really need to do some rework on their icons so they stand out a bit more from each other.

Couple of things I might would add. Dark Dance doesn't give the 20% evasion unless it is Dark Arts boosted. Also, WAR's Vengeance can be a little confusing. It actually has two icons produced when we pop it. A Vengeance one and a Vulnerability Down one. The Vengeance one is just the little purple guy and the Vulnerability is blue with a black star in the center outlined in yellow. The Vulnerability Down is what gives the reduced damage buff while Vengeance is the 50 potency knock back portion of the skill. I only mention it because I've had my healers ask me about what the Vulnerability icon was(they thought it was a debuff).

Tempered Will is a paladin cool down that prevents knock back (and a few other status effects iirc) it cannot be Cross classed. I use it during Seph EX third phase. It's useful so I don't get blown away from where the adds appear.

That 3rd one (Vulnerability Down) is attached to Vengeance. Dark Dance always has the parry chance, the evasion only gets added on top of it when you boost it with Dark Arts - like Dark Mind.

If it confuses you think about it like that:
Dark Arts never reduces or takes thing away from an ability/CD. Its just adds things, like evasion to Dark Dance, +15% Magic Resistance to Dark Mind (if I remember correctly)
Its just a (very costly) Buff :)
