Why on earth wouldn't we have Darkside on? When you get Blood Price, suddenly MP conservation becomes child's play. And in Darkside we get access to some important cooldowns, like increased parry and increased magic resist. Not to mention the applications that Dark Arts bring to the table. No, no. Grit is the stance a DRK shouldn't really drop, unless there are specific phases in the fight, such as Bismarck, when you DPS his back. At the end of the day, though, it's up to the individual to take the risk.

Maybe the OP didn't mean Darkside, but meant Blood Weapon? I know there's some DRK players who will drop out of Grit in order to use Blood Weapon. Generally not a good idea due to the high cost of turning Grit back on after you use Blood Weapon.
However, I'm only giving the OP the benefit of the doubt here... it does honestly sound like either trolling or complete lack of paying any attention to the job.

Turning off Grit to activate Blood Weapon is needed sometimes. In combination with the 20% damage reduction cooldown ofc. Some bosses will not hit you often, so Blood Price will not procc that much. But this moments aren't that often.
And btw trolling or not I already got such a DK in a dungeon as tank and he didn't seem like he was trolling also, he seems to have no idea how to play his class (a bit late with 59).
