Very different playstyles. Other than that, DRK is very similar to PLD in terms of mitigation (mitigation options, that is) but magic focused, WAR has a stacking resource called wrath/abandon that is used for both their mitigation and damage burst.

DRK is all about managing your mana and using a plethora of oGCD abilities. WAR is all about big burst and timing your inner beast for mitigation/healing.

WAR brings a universal damage down (ridiculously good), and slashing debuff (ridiculously good), DRK brings int down, and if MT can bring a damage down (good, but basically DRK is just as much a MT as a PLD).
