Suggestion: DRK Modifications

There are a few suggestions that came to mind when examining DRK in 4.0 that might improve their gameplay and remove some redundancy issues and I'd like some thoughts on potential future changes in their skill set.

-Remove Dark Arts from Abyssal Drain and move its HP leeching effect into Dark Arts+Salted Earth
-Replace Unleash with Abyssal Drain automatically including its functionality with Unmend, and increase its radius by 5 yalms to make it more usable while pulling
-Questionable: Combine Blood Price and Blood Weapon into one skill usable in either stance and modify its cooldown accordingly

Loss of recovery if things drift out while moving, as well as just less recovery over time anyway.
Unleash has its uses, no point in cutting down our options even more.
As it stands right now, you can do one then the other by dropping in and out of Grit. Your suggestion cuts down on possible MP and Blood generation.

There are plenty of things that would help improve things, these aren't those things.

If I only got 3 wishes for DRK I'm not sure this one would make the top three, but what I would like to see from Unleashed is: buff the Enhanced Unleash proc, and give a small chance for Abyssal Drain to proc it (perhaps slightly lower than Unmend's chance to proc it).

The buff to Enhanced Unleashed being something like: in addition to no MP cost, potency is increased to 100, and there's an increased chance to critical hit. Bonus points if Enhanced Unleash's animation were to be changed to old PVP's Tar Pit.

To think that that gorgeous Tar Pit animation is wasting away on a hard drive in the back of a server rack right now makes me sad.
