But anyway, keeping aggro in this game is incredibly easy and shouldn't be your primary concern anymore once it is established. Spamming AD generates more than enough enmity to keep aggro against any big AoE DPS jobs in the game WHILE being the best AoE DPS rotation you can do as a DRK. The only combos you have to rotate as a DRK in AoE situations are Syphon Strike combos when Blood Price is down and your MP starts to get low after some neat Abyssal Drain spam (when BP is down, you should be able to use DADarkPassenger + DADarkDance, drop Grit, use Blood Weapon, and start single targetting till you're back at full MP, do some extra ADs, put Grit back on when blind + Dark Dance falls off, BP will be up again by this time if mobs aren't killed, that's the ideal unlimited-pornstar-AoE-DPS-tanking rotation for DRK).
