DRK: Dark Dance

You realize evasion is useless in raid content as nothing can be evaded right? I am not sure what you are trying to justify with Dark Dance having evasion on it. It's a skill that increases your chance to parry but to parry you need to get hit. If you don't get hit, you don't parry and you lose a central part of your kit. What part of this makes sense to you? Yes, it's useful when you're tanking trash in dungeons but that is it. As it stands right now, DRK has 3 skills worth using Dark Arts on in raid content right now: Souleater, Dark Mind, and Carve and Spit. Power Slash is a total joke so you can forget about ever using Dark Arts on that. You might use Dart Arts on Abyssal Drain in A2S if your mana is recovering too fast, but that's it as it is far too costly. Both Dark Dance and Dark Passenger have effects that are fantastic, but not on DRK and not for content that renders them uselss. Dark Arts is one of the central parts of DRK so why would you give them 2 Dark Arts effects that are counter productive to sustaining your Dark Arts via Blood Price and useless in raid content? It makes no sense and should be changed.

You shouldn't be using it with DA with a few exceptions, nor should you be using it alone. It also has a shorter cool down than Keen flurry.

So basically I should never be using it is what you are saying. Don't use it with DA and don't use it without DA? That doesn't really make much sense. Also LNC isn't a tank. You can't really compare the defensive cooldown of a DPS to a defensive cooldown of a tank and use that as a means to justify poor design. A DRK is meant to take DMG while a LNC is not.
