Unless your group has a monk in which case a DRK has literally no utility to provide and PLD has "something" to offer every comp. However, even with paladin's utility, in current raids either bring a DRK with a ninja or just bring two warriors and you're good to go.

A major issue with DRK right now is that if your group has a monk, why would you ever bring a DRK over WAR/WAR or WAR/PLD? The anti-synergy is real when considering the only utility DRK brings is the one debuff.
