A new tank stance to fit Dark Knight better

Stance dancing isn't part of the class and shouldn't be. We have other things we should have to do, we should be a resource management tank, not a stance dancing tank like Warrior. If you make the class to much like warrior (except worse) why even play the class in the first place?

Any of the tanks can stance dance if you take advantage of it. Its not something exclusive to WAR. WAR just has an easier time of it since its oGCD and doesn't have a resource cost.

Yes, but that isn't what Paladin is about. Paladin is mostly staying in one stance most of the fight, not switching. Warrior is mostly about switching and managing their stances, Deliverance, Defiance. They switch constantly.

Dark Knight should not have that play-style. They should be about managing your Health, Mana, TP. Of course this means you should drain something when using Grit and Darkside. However you fail to understand that Grit and Darkside should not be stances. They should and Darkside is already made to be buffs with downsides to them. That is why they can both be used at once.

They are "NOT" stances.

The Dark Knight has no offensive stance. It is a lot different from Paladin and Warrior.

if DRK has no offensive stance then what do you call darkside? its able to be used together because otherwise about i think 4-5 skills (not in game right now) would be unusable while tanking. Not because its not a stance...

Darkside is a buff that enhances your current skillset and empowers them whilst empowering your damage. It is an "Aura". A stance implies you must switch to it and remain active into it. Like sword stances, that is why they are called stances, you cannot be in more then one of them.

I would like Grit to be an "Aura" as well. Currently I feel like they don't know what they want to do with Dark Knight. That is why I am offering so much suggestions.
