Dark Knight, or Paladin?

Do you guys really like to tank in dps stance for some reason?

The damage intake is noticeably higher. I do it for bosses that don't even really hit for anything, so that a single renew keeps me up (notably, ex roulette, a1), but otherwise it just isn't really worth the hassle.

All else being equal, unless the healer can just afk and heal you up, doing 20% more of your damage isn't really worth freeing up 20% more healer GCDs.

At 60 PLD I have no trouble in sword oath...because I RoH every 3 combos, because...I keep up the debuff. Do you guys really just ignore everything but dps here?

As for DRK, I typically open with 2xDA > PS while in grit, then turn it off and then am free to use mp rotation from then onwards.
