dark knight die off

It's a Tank - that fact won't change. I guess most DRK were tanks beforehand (PLD or WAR). Others just were legitimately interested to look at the class but they don't like tanking and that's why they gonna go back to their classes sooner or later.

That's said, I think the DRK has somewhat stand-alone identify problems. He does not hit as hard as Warrior and cannot eat dmg as good as a PLD. However if you wanna contribute to that discussion go to the tank forum. There that discussion is currently ongoing.

Actually, I'll disagree with you on this.

We only have a 5% damage reduction if we're doing it right. I'm noticing a lot heavier hits than I do with warrior. I'm knocking out chunks that I never could have before. Our Scourge is better than Fracture.

Combine that with our abilities that let us regain mana from being hit - we don't have to necessarily drop aggro. Also, our 20% damage reduc's on a nice CD, which I combine with foresight with cross-class. I don't take too much damage when I don't want to. I use them interchanged.
