It would be somewhat difficult to pull of Shadowskin + DA Dark Mind + DA since DA has a 5s cooldown. You'd have to prep the DA knowing that the tank buster was coming within the next 10s. Even then you're talking about doubling up DA which drains like 2/3 of our mana. This is more for when Dark mind is down, for use against physical damage, and for some mild mitigation that would occur outside of tank busters. PLD has a shield, WAR has Inner Beast up every 15-20s (not including enrage), but DRK doesn't have any sort of high frequency mitigation like that.
