Their aoe burst heal is very good, but that's only for a very short time before mp runs out and only in aoes (which zerk maim bloodbath war has a similar equivalence for burst, resource intense aoe damage and heal anyway).

If a warrior wants to self-heal, they have to make the decision of getting into defiance and staying there for a good 10 seconds, use their 5 stacks, miss out on what could have been extra TP, and precious dps due to no deliverance and a missed eye/block combo. DRK doesn't have to make that much of a decision, instead it does what it usually does because self-healing is included in the package, be it from DA SE in their rotation or DA abysmal drain spam in AoE situations.
Sorry, some of that is just incorrect.
You don't get the SE heal (DA or not) unless grit is on. Similar trade off as war.

Missing out on tp is irrelivant on war. They have functionally infinite tp in single target encounters with infuriate moves costing none, and zerk downtime. Aoe is a different issue, but no job can aoe forever sans blm.
